Craky Yankee Fighting Cancer Again

On a sad note: Mudcatter Cranky Yankee, Jody Gibson, is very ill with cancer and has asked that his friends be informed of the critical nature of his illness. I know he would appreciate being remembered in your thoughts and prayers and I also know that he'd be thankful for the same for his family, which has been such a support and comfort for him.

Jody's spirits remain positive and strong, but his body is fatigued by the aggressive chemotherapy he is undergoing. His incredible wife, Donna, is doing a great job of caring for him both physically and spiritually - she even manages to arrange for friends to visit and play music with/for him, which he greatly appreciates.

So please keep Jody in mind and if you have a greeting for Jody, I promise to deliver it to him and Donna for you. I'll check back daily and pick up messages left on this thread - or you can send him email through me at the address below.

Thanks, Cindy - seagoddess
