No Place Like Home
After days of traveling the dark valley, I once again see the light of life. These lights make up my children, my family, my friends, my doctor and all the medical professionals willing to help me. I have hospice which takes away a lot of fear. They are here to meet all my needs. I’m grateful to all those out there meeting my needs and my spiritual needs. I really enjoyed seeing Bruce. The doctor ensured me again that I have about 6 months and it should come easy. I don’t consider this a death experience, I can consider this a birth experience. In every labor there is pain and in every labor there is time to let go of the placenta of life and reach on to the power and energy of what is the new life and I look forward to that. If it’s possible I hope one of those great energies is the ability to see my Dad. My faith has not change and I believe in a perfect God who has a perfect process for each of us. That’s why we have nothing to fear because every piece of the puzzle is perfect. There is absolutely no fear in where I am at. I feel surrounded by angels of peace. Keep watching because I am not done yet!
Thanks so much for sharing. That is just beautiful!
Cliff you have truly blessed my heart love many times.I truly would like to give you a big hug from my heart. I love you brother and may the peace of God be with you and your family.
Love Dan
Our hearts are connected, Brother. And nothing can ever change that!
Thanks for sharing! I hope to be able to have the same kind of faith and hope you have.
Cliff
I am overwelmed by your strength and your faith. I am so proud of you !! There is no doubt in my mind that you could handle this the way you are. I have been so impressed by all the responses you have received. You have certainly touched a lot of lives. I’m not ready to let you go but I guess God has other plans for you now. This has really hit our family hard, but it has made us reach out to each and realize how blessed we have been.
Love ya,
Judy
Deep, deep peace to you…and thank you for your generosity of spirit.
We are each, at all times, in the Arms of Love.
Every Blessing,

Cliff,
Nancy (the aunt) regrets that she can’t correspond via the internet.
She sends her love and will keep praying for you. She also wanted me to tell you that she forgives you for peeing in her new shoes when you were three years old. Love Judy
Cliff, I have cried alot of tears over this. It doesn’t seem right that when I got cancer I got so lucky and you find out you have cancer only to be told you have a short time left. It makes me angry but then I read your blog and while I am not ready to lose you yet how you have accepted this and look at it inspires me. We will be over to see you soon.
Love, Leanne
Hi Cliff, What a MOM! Pies,cinnamon rolls. Whats next? Your mom is one of a kind. She is a great sister and when mom died she became that “MoM’ figure to us all by listening and advising and loving. I know she is going through agony now knowing she will lose her baby. I know Andy and Dougie will take care of her and I know you have whispered in her ear how much you love her.You Hazelbakers are a special bunch.
We have all shared some fun, happy and crazy times together. Remember the “Blues Brothers”. I thought Gordon would fall over laughing. Didn’t you just love his laugh? You guys were so funny.
Cliffy, I heard someone say onetime that all you can take to heaven is love. I hope you’ve got heavy shoulders for all that weight! Tell Nancy I send hugs.
Your favorite Aunt Mid
Cliff, you and your wonderful family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cliff and family,
All of you are my thoughts and prayers. Cliff, I have learned so much talking to you about matters of faith. Nancy, you have touched me whenever I need help with my youngster at Test. Your family is a testimony to love and faith. Thanks to you for your encouragement and please, if I can help you in any way, don’t hesitate to call me up!
Blessings and peace,
Liz Stracener
Cliff, Nancy and Kids,
I just heard this week about Cliff. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. If there is anything I can do for any of you, don’t hesitate to call on me. I started remembering all the great times at Sylvan Nook when you all were the youth leaders. I cherish those years so much and love your family so much. I had the pleasure of watching your children for you and watching them grow to be adults with children of their own. Your family has always been very special to me and I love you all very much. Mom, my kids and I will be coming to Richmond for Memorial Day and I hope to be able to drop by to visit with you all. I miss you all. Love, Christy
I am typing for my Dad and he wants me to tell all of you that he loves you all very much.
