Re: Tucker1931...Cliff Says Hello!

[Cookie]

Hello everyone;

I'm Tucker's (Cliff's) daughter, Janis. My Dad asked me to sign up and say hello to all his wonderful friends here.
He can't make it down to his computer, and is now basically bed-bound. The senior services brought in a hospital bed to his living room, where he is quite comfortable....but, obviously; he's in pretty rough shape.
They have him on a morphine patch, and he has lost about 70 lbs.!
So hard to see my Dad like this, but his spirit is good, and i know he misses all of you so much; and more-so misses doing his wood carving.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to all of you who so generously sent him the beautiful ANGELS!!

He treasures them, and has them close by.

With great sadness, and gratitude,

Janis

p.s. if anyone would like to em a note, i will pass it along...send to:

Janis, Thank you so much for the update but very sad to hear that he is now bed bound. Please give him my best, he'll soon be fishing and carving again.
God bless you all,
Dan

Hi Janis, Thankyou for letting us know how your dad is. He is so missed here. I have been wondering about him and how he is doing and also how all of you(family) are doing.There is a very special place in my heart for your dad.Even though I've never met him in person, he is a good friend to me.I came on this sight when I was going through some bad stuff and he put a smile on my face everyday.Please tell your dad he will always be my buddy! Please give him a big gentle hug for me and a kiss on his forhead. Give your mom a hug for me, she sounds like a great gal. God Bless your whole family and comfort to you all. Sharon

Hi Janis, so glad to have an up date on Cliff, always looked forward to his posts. He has a great wit, and he is missed here on the board. Please pass on my good wishes. God Bless you and your family.

Cliff is a terrific guy! We miss him here. His contributions here were enjoyed & appreciated.
I will sort of quote Sharon from the last post and the same from me; Tell Cliff we are thinking of him - yes a little hug from us all. Give your mom a hug too, she sounds like a great gal. God Bless and comfort your whole family.

We all miss his humor and the fishing stories. I wish him peace.

Janis, I can't tell you how much your dad has touched my heart. His humor, courage and strength during a challenge that would send most of us into deep depression has been inspirational. I have a photo of my angel carving hanging in my office so no day goes by without thinking of him.

Janis,

Please tell your dad hello from all his friends on here. He is in our hearts and minds and we are cheering for him. Also tell him that I have it on good authority that you can carve in heaven, your tools never need stropping and the wood never splits! Be in peace my friend.

Please say hello to Cliff for me. We miss his inspiration and humor on the board. Our family is supporting another person going through their bout with cancer and its tough on everyone. It has been great having you amongst our carving community Cliff - your a great fella. Wish I could meet you in person. Hope all goes well for you and your family in these times of change.
