Thread: Clipper's Dark Days.

  1. #1

    Default Clipper's Dark Days.

    Some have wondered over my absence of late. I suddenly find the deepest of losses. Dear Karl and others know it too well. A wonderful flight of 44 years ended quite suddenly and unexpectedly Monday afternoon. Mrs Clipper slipped the bounds while in my son's arms with no pain and such a peaceful smile. She is gone, but our home is her living home. The bench is cleared, the family is gathering. Cherish yours always. Blessings my dear friends, we will fly again . . . Clipper

    Once again I am overwhelmed by our community. 2 days after the darkness I literally began spinning and was hospitalized for dizziness and bronchitis which quickly became a less lethal covid strain and have been here nearly a week, hope for release back home tuesday. So hard to be unplugged, but thankful to be connected. Blessings to all!

    So sorry for your loss, David.

    On the hospitalization, glad to see you're on the road to recovery.

    I'm a newer member of the community, but I'm sure everyone here echos my sentiments when I say that if there's anything at all we can do for you, please let us know.
