Update on Dad
Dad had a rough night. He is in pain from the Biopsy and very sick to his stomach. They wanted to do another scan of his brain this morning so we will know later how things looked. They are checking to see if the cancer has grown any more. We thought he would get to go home today, but he is still sick so it won’t be today. We will hope for tomorrow.
It is amazing how God gives us the strength we need when we need it. He LOVES reading all of your posts. It has meant a great deal to him. This is a website that he is very proud of and to see all of you on here has helped give us all strength.
Thank you from all us and most of all from Dad.
LOVE NEVER FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dear Mindy, Please relay our thoughts and prayers to your Mom and Dad from both Bruce and I. Your Dad has been such an important part of our life. We love you all. Peace.
As I prepare to leave for marriage counseling with my husband of only 4 years I think about how hard I have fought for our love to survive.I think about my sweet Aunt Nancy. I think about how she is doing and about how her and my Uncle have never stopped fighting for each other.I think about how my grandmother raised three amazing men. One perfect father and two perfect Uncles who have taught me to never give up! (on anything) I know my Uncle Cliff will never give up!
Love you
Sarah Louise
Best wishes to your dad. He has a lot of love and support from all of us here.
Thanks for keeping us updated. You all continue to be often on my mind, and always in my heart and prayers. Love, Connie
Thanks for the update. I guess I’ll wait another day before heading over to visit. It would probably be best that Cliff’s home and resting before I head over your way. Please keep us posted, and continue to pass our love on to everyone!
Cliff and Hazelbaker Family,
We have been thinking and praying for you over the last few days. To be honest, I’m not so great about expressions of sympathy so I found some words of encouragement that may help lift your spirits. Love you all so very much! – Heather Harley and family
“If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell. ” ~Lance Armstrong

Cliff, Just wanted to let you know that you and your dear family are in our thoughts and prayers. It was great to see you Sunday and we found this site to keep updated. By the way this is trully awesome. I have been reading some of the discussions and they have been inspiring. God certainly has blessed you and will continue through to do so. Your’s and Nancy’s friendship is dear to Sherrill and I and look forward to seeing you guys again soon. In Him, Larry
Dear sweet Cliffy, What have you gotten yourself into now! I don’t think mommy can fix this one.
Cliff, you know you’re loved by all of this big family. So much is in my heart right now. I pray that God will take this terrible cancer from you and I can only pray His will be done. I think of this little “snot nosed kid” as your Grandpa Goodwin would call you and all the cute and ornery things your and your brothers(with Erics’ help) would do, and the many times you tried to correct me on my beliefs. You nearly drove me crazy!!? I just wasn’t as quick on my scripture as you. I guess with our love and faith in God we’ll see each other again one day and we’ll talk again with the Master as our teacher.
Cliff, I don’t know what Heaven will be like but I’m anxious to find out and I hope Gordon is waiting for me. So if it is Gods will for you to go Look for your dad and tell Gordon I’m okay.
I hope this note has filled you with my love and faith andhope in whats to come and does not portray any sence of despair. Since Gordons’ passing my life has taken on a new understanding of God and His will for me. I am reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan recomended by Skip. It makes you so aware of Gods holiness. If your health permits you would probably enjoy it.
Cliff I love you so much! I will continue to pray for your recovery and for strength for Nancy and your family
Love you forever Mid
