Kathy Griffin's Sister Passed Away Last Night

tough year for her . after the crap she got with trump this may have put things in perspective of who is important and i hope to see and hear her in public in the near future.


<"My sister Joyce passed away peacefully last night," Kathy, 56, tweeted on Friday, September 15, alongside a video of her only sister watching a musical performance from her hospital bed. "Check out this beautiful moment."

The end of the video showed a cartoon version of Joyce and included a message that read, "This is where she always wanted to be… & now she's having a Mai Tai on the beach in heaven." Kathy also included a link to donate to the American Cancer Society in her tweet.

The two-time Emmy winner shaved her head in solidarity with her sister's cancer battle in late July. Kathy's brother Gary Griffin died of esophageal cancer in 2014. Her estranged eldest brother, Kenny Griffin, also died years ago.>

How well I know that feeling. It was my wife's deepest desire too before she died last week - to finally go home.

Wings to you, Joyce!

I, for one, like your humorous style.

Heal, and come back to your audience.
