man that is tough to read. I can't fathom what you must be going through. Thinking of you and praying you find comfort in time.

Prayers and kind thoughts for you and your family. Lost my only son to an awful autoimmune disorder. I wish I could tell you things get better. They just get different. Knowing you will see them again in the next life and they are no longer in pain is the only consolation I can offer. And that they are in the loving arms of their heavenly Father. It hurts every minute of everyday but one day, when you have healed sufficiently you will find yourself smiling over some precious memory and know she is telling you she will always be just that close. God bless you and keep you my friend

Nothing like having a grandchild to run with you at the games and go to watch them play. Just enjoy memories of her. Prayers for you and your whole family sound like BBN has a great fan looking down on them.

JRM, if you are a man of Faith (like me), then you know there is no way to explain your loss.
God does not address "Why she is gone"...but He has revealed the "What comes next".
...Through Jesus gift of Grace, Life begins at death.
...Reunion in Heaven will be oh so sweet.
...Remember the past, but Treasure the joy of Heaven.

You are so right and I love the Lord and so did she, and although I know she is out of this world that is getting more wicked by the day, we will miss her so bad. At the end of my talk day before yesterday I quoted what a grieving King David said when his son died "He cannot come to me but I can go to her.

Perfect quote! You know your Bible and God's heart!

That story from 2 Samuel 12 (many believe) was on David's mind when he penned Psalm 116.
...David described how bad his child's death hurt and how the Lord got him through it.
...He thought he would die from grief, but then grief died!
...At the end, David concluded: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints!"

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.

Praying that God will mend you & your familys' broken heart in a way that the human mind can't begin to comprehend.

Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

One, thanks for sharing that. We all get so wrapped up in recruiting, stats, and W's that we sometimes forget that "real" life keeps going on. My prayers are with your family. I know you all are truly thankful for the days/years you had with her, while you ache from missing her. Your BB Family hurts with you.

Absolutely heartbreaking. No words can convey how I feel for you and your family. Some of us have been on this site for a long, long time. Twenty-five years for me. We get a feel for each other, and over time we share a little bit about ourselves — the good and the bad. I’ve shared the story of my mom’s passing, and more recently the loss of my little brother — two lifelong UK fans. We all share a bond. We’re all big blue family. So when I see something like this, I feel a connection. I have to be honest; when I got to the part about her passing with the blanket, I cried. My heart goes out to you, and I’m praying that your healing isn’t unbearable. I know God only gives us what we can handle, but it seems impossible at times. I’m so sorry for your loss. Your big blue message board family has its collective arms around you.

Sorry for your loss. That is truly tragic. I hope you and your family are able to find peace again. As difficult as that will be it’s what your granddaughter would want. Best wishes to you.

Tears in my eyes and greatly moved by your story, I have to admit. I must thank you profusely for sharing, my friend. My deepest condolences go from my family to yours, and may heaven smile upon her, and your family, during this incredibly trying time. You have all my family's best wishes and prayers.

I can see a delicate hand holding tight to that missing piece of your soul. Waiting for the day it is to be reclaimed.

Peace be unto you, brother.
