Lost my Angel

[BigBlueFanGA]

I with a heavy heart announce that my traveling companion and loving granddaughter passed from this life on Sunday night. On October 4 after coming home from competing in the All A State Volleyball tournament she collapsed on the floor in a game of VB we rushed her to the Murray Hospital where she was airlifted to Vanderbilt children hospital in Nashville they told us it was Lymphoma and would have to run tests to determine what kind, we requested St Judes in Memphis and was immediately transferred there. She had a large mass near her heart, they determined that it was a rapid growing form normally not found in young people called T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma they kept her in Memphis until Christmas Day and determined that the mass had all but disappeared, she then returned once a week for treatment until 5 weeks ago when she began running a fever and they discovered the mass had came back with a vengeance, they treated her with everything they knew to do, and she fought to live. Last saturday they announced that all treatments had failed and any other treatment they gave her would be fatal and asked her what she wanted to do, she said I want to go home, so we did. She passed with a UK blanket draped over given by a local bank with her name sewn into it.
She loved the Wildcats and we made countless trips(275 miles) to Rupp we were at the Elite 8 when Aaron Harrison led us to wins over UL and Michigan, we have Been to Ms St, Ole Miss, Georgia, Ark, A&M, Auburn, Alabama, Vandy and UT. WE have attended all three Final Fours under the Calipari era, we traveled to Chicago to see UK thrash Duke in the Champions Classic. I stumbled through a emotional eulogy yesterday at her funeral and told several of our experiences at these games I will share 1, When we went to UT we were 5 rows from the floor the only blue in a sea of orange, we got a big dose of Rocky Top before the game but the Cats came out hot and got a double digit lead. During the course of the game she and a little boy about her age were exchanging barbs and I suggested that we were vastly outnumbered and it might be prudent to get along, she said "I am not listening to that". Towards the end of the game Admiral Schofield got hot and Tennessee surged ahead by 8 with about a minute to go and Davy Crockett running around the court waving his musket and the band working the crowd into a frenzy playing Rocky Top over and over, I suggested we make our exit. I grabbed her hand and started out when I felt resistance from her jerking back, the boy had grabbed her by the arm and said "where are you going it is just now getting good" She fired back "I am tired of Rocky Top and dont forget you have to come to Lexington" Everyone around us roared. I loved her and am heartbroken.

I'm terribly sorry that awful disease has taken your granddaughter. Prayers for you and those who loved her.

JRM peace to you guys brother. You’ll see her again.

 

[Cawoods_Ghost]

I’ll be praying for you and your family. I hope there is comfort to be found somewhere in this most terrible time.

 

[KYFOSSIL]

The Lord brings Angels into our lives and when it’s time he brings them home. I have no words that can lighten your grief but I can and will pray for you and your family because God will get you through this and remember you won’t be facing this time of sorrow alone.
God Bless you and your family.

 

[Canned Heat]

So sorry brother.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

ray: for you and your family so sorry for your loss.

 

[Drudis]

Prayers up brother. Keep fighting and do what you can to stay positive.

 

[Flash123]

So very sorry praying for you and family.

 

[bbnkat02]

As we’ve seen so often in the past few months, life is just not fair. And I’m sorry. Even as people of faith, believing death is not the end, it doesn’t make it any easier.

Prayers for you and your family. May the Father’s never-ending love and His unyielding grace be upon you and your family.

Again, I’m sorry for your loss.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Not gone forever, just gone for now.

Take solace in knowing you helped give her a wonderful life here and that she had a chance to make her own version of peace with things.

Cherish those memories and know that we really grieve for the ones left behind. She's much better off than we are now.

You'll have lots of folks praying for you.

 

[crazywill]

Words at this point are hollow, but the Memories will last forever. Just know the Lord needed at VB Player & your Beautiful Granddaughter is in the starting Line-Up. Like and Ole' Poloriod Camera Snapshots will run by through your mind daily, but you will Cry & Smile Tears of Happiness as you know she is waiting for you someday in the distance future!

God Bless Your Entire Family!

[wildcatbd21]

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I know it is very little if any comfort right now. But always remember, you may have lost an angel on Earth. But, gained an angel in Heaven. I know she will be with you, chearing with you, in you heart, at every UK event you go to from now on. And remember, one day you two will be side by side, chearing again from the best seats imaginable.

God bless you and your family my friend.

There are no words or deeds that I can do to remove the pain and emptiness that your heart will be feeling. All I can do is pray for you and cry with you. I am finding out that grieving and healing are a process.

[Son_Of_Saul]

OP, I am sorry to hear this. I can't image the grief you're facing right now. I know it's a message board and that we will likely never meet, but I will pray for you to find some peace and encouragement through this.

 

[RoyKent]

God bless your family and your granddaughter. I don't think I am strong enough to manage something like this so kudos to you for being the kind of person you are. Such a horrible thing for anyone to have to go through. I just simply cannot understand why things like this happen. So sad.
