| The Best of Times. The Worst of Times. |
Kathy was very excited to be doing a gig on a cruise ship for R Family Vacations. She even enlisted the help of "Work out" star Jackie Warner for tips on appealing to the lesbians in her audience. Unfortunately, Kathy's father's health took a turn for the worst and he passed away at the age of 90. But, just as her father, John, would have wanted, the show had to go on...
Kathy getting ready for a show.
I am so sad...I love Kathy and I really enjoyed the love that her mother and father shared for her...I was on the edge of my seat when I heard her say that her father passed away...Kathy I know that is was awhile ago, but I am so so so so sorry...I think that your father was a funny, smart and adorable man. He made me wish I had a relationship with my father. I know he lived a great life, especially with you as great daughter. I am keeping your entire family in my prayers...Hug your mother for me and take one for yourself...I am in tears as I write this because I really have watched every episode and I feel like family...I love you and you are always A-list in my book...

I have one too and i too am dreading "the call" . kathy, you and your family are blessed to have his love and all the great memories and emotions from your family history together. again i send my love and understanding to you and your family. with much admiration. lauren

Kathy and Family:
So sorry for the loss of your father/husband/grandpa. I too lost my dad who reminds me of your dad. He was funny, smart, strong, sensitive, and my best friend. It will take a long time to heal but time will help. I still miss him everyday and it will be 9 years in July. But you still have him in all of you. We were so lucky to have such great people in our lives as many never had this. It is what makes it hard and also made is so great when they were alive. Stay strong. Prays for all of you. Love the show and your act.
I am sorry Kathy about your dad..he seemed like a great guy...I pray God's peace in your lives at this time....hey where I have i been?? What happened to your husband?? I tune you in and all of a sudden you appear to be solo with new assistants.... What's up?
Kathy, Thank you...for being brave. When tradegy strikes, one either crawls in a hole or hides in their work, neither of which was an option for you. Thank you for putting your life in front of the camera and reminding people that life is fragile and real and can suck. Your dad left his imprint on you (and us), and now....he has you to carrying on the traits you so adored. Pretty lucky man!
Kathy,
Hi. I am still watching you on your show and it just showed the part where you lost your Dad. I cried right along with you. I just had to write to let you know that I am one of your biggest fans (bet you hear that all the time). I feel for your loss, wish you well and know where you are at in the grief process. You are just so funny and give so much of yourself and you definitey do have your Dad's sense of humor. Carry on, hon. You are the best comedienne since Lucille Ball. Hugs and prayers for you and your family. I absolutely love you.
Kathy; I was so sorry to hear about your Father. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
I was also watching the show where you were in Jackson, MI at the Snowflake Chili Cookoff. Unitl Dec. 18, 2006, I lived in Jackson and I don't know if you are physic or just extremely insightful but you hit the nail on the head with your comments about Jackson, the newspaper and the gay community. As a gay male I can tell you every comment that you made was dead on. There are so many 'married' en in the Jackson area who, to use one of their comments, "like to just get their freak on with anothe guy, but aren't gay". I always enjoy your shows and it kills me that after I move you come to Jackson. Any chance you are coming to Charleston, SC anytime soon? We have a huge gay community and a giant venue in North Charleston and I know you would be welcome with open arms, well at least by me.
Again, my best ot your Mother and the two of you stand strong!

Kathy,
Oh my God!!!!!!! I actually gasped out loud when you announced your fathers passing. My heart aches for you and your mother. Your father was just the cutest little old man! It's just you ladies now and I just want you to know that your are both in my thoughts and prayers. There was a special bottle of wine up there for your dad, and I know that his last thoughts were for you both so that your mom would not have to make such a hard decision at such a crucial time. What a special loving father and husband he was. Just know that whereever he is he is selling C.D's for you by the caseload!!! All My Love, Angela
Kathy, I want to let you know that because of you and your relationship with your Dad on the show, I made a point of spending a lot of time with my Dad this Father's Day weekend. He is 79 now and I'm not taking for granted the time we have to spend together. I had work scheduled but, because I heard about Mr. Griffin's passing, I asked for and received time off. We didn't do anything really special but it was special for me. Your show this week was especially poignant. Please know that we feel for you and you are an important part of people's lives, even on the D-list.
Kathy, sorry to hear about your loss. Your dad was a wonderful man. Your relationship with him seemed to be "The Best" and it definitely showed. I think making your parents part of the show was a real plus. It shows you are a family based star. Your dad deserved fame cause he was a true hero to you and parents everywhere. I hope your mother moves in with you into the BIG house that you have.
Kathy,
I was sooooo sad to hear the loss of your adorable father, you are so lucky to have been able to have so many years with him, I lost my dad almost 2 years ago, he was only 60 and my mom passed when she was only 54. If I could have reached through the TV I would have given you hug, I felt bad to see you hurting the way you were when you are the one to make everyone laugh. Keep me laughing and keep your dad close to your heart. Oh, I hope mom moves in with ya, I'll have to wait and see.
I think Bravo did a great job of being respectful and reverent of the situation. The show was great and I thought it was a fitting tribute to a father that was so supportive of his daughter and also funny in his own right. Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss and hope that your mother is doing well. He seemed like a wonderful husband and a great father, so you all are lucky to have had him!
Sincerely, AR
SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAD. THERE'S NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY.
JUST KNOW THAT THERE ARE TONS OF YOUR FANS THAT REALLY
CARE.
THANKS FOR THE LAUGHTER.YOU ARE ONE FUNNY LADY.
I was blindsided when I watched your show last night and your Dad died. I was so upset and sad. Time does make the hurt not hurt so much. It is a process. You must know that your Dad is happy doing the things he loves most and would not want to mope. Celebrate his life and cherish the memories! I am so glad you have so many happy, wonderful memories on tape. Take care of your Mom and I hope the ache in your heart lightens soon.
Kathy I am so sorry of your Dad's passing, he was such a sweetheart!! I wish we all had Dad's like that. My sympathy and prayers are with you and your family.
Dearest Kathy and Family...
I just found out this morning 6/20 that you had lost your beloved father, John. I want to send my deepest sympathy to you and your wonderful mother. What a joy they were together and i loved every minute they were on the screen. Stay strong because you will find that the tears will come and go at the strangest times....I just lost my father who was 91 last Sept. and your father reminded me of him so much.......
Take care, Phyllis from Atlanta
Hi Kathy,
I just wanted to say I am deeply sorry about the passing of your father. Your family had such a strong bond. Every week watching I felt like closer to you and your family. Your dad will be greatly missed. Be strong. I have seen you live 3 times and will be in the front row when you come to the South Shore Music Circus on July 13. I can not wait to see you. My boyfriend and I have been watching you for years and years. We are your biggest fans. I will be counting down the days until the show. I know you will keep us in stitches as always. I hope you can stick around and sign autographs. We always wait around but have still not met the great Kathy Griffin.
Your biggest fan!!!!
Hey, Kathy,
Hang in there. You are such an inspiration--strong, independent, artist/business woman--loving care giver--story teller--dignified and tough, in crisis. I am so sorry about your father. Take time to cry, surround yourself with friends, and write down your memories of being with him. This is how I have dealt with missing someone I love. You have had so many changes in a short period of time--it will not always feel this way. And as you heal, your love will always be there. Your father knows you love him. He is some where out there and he knows you love him. I recently got through a cancer scare, broke up with my long term boyfriend, and I am moving to Portland, OR--far from my elderly parents...so your experiences have impacted me--I find strength watching your shows. In fact, I just bought your first season to keep me company, when my firtst few days in Portland are lonely, before I meet new friends...Take care of yourself. And if you put Portland on your tour, it would cheer me up, immensely. I am trying to open a women's guest house/women's film center, so if you want to come over and be D-list with us--you are so welcome. Liz
Kathy,
I was very sad to hear about your father's passing in last night's episode. He was an adorable, funny man and he made me laugh. I can see how you got so much of your humor from him. Thanks for making us laugh Kathy! I hope you, your mom and family are getting through this ok.
Dear Kathy,
I just watched this weeks show and I have to say I was shocked to see that your Dad passed away. My condolences to you and your family. I lost my father almost 10 years ago and my mom 6 years ago. I can tell you that not a day goes by that I don't think about them. They were my heroes as I'm sure your Dad was to you. The pain will subside as time goes by as it will be replaced by great memories. What helped me get through those times, were listening to the stories of everyone that knew them. I knew my parents were awesome but it was great to hear that other people felt the same way. You are blessed. Please know that your fans are grieving with you and have you in their prayers. Sincerely, Carmen from The Bronx
My god kathy I am so sorry.i am truly a big fan of yours for a long time. And have loved every minute of your stand up comedy specials and your show on bravo. My mother and i sat down like we normally do and watched your show every week and was very surprised that your father had passed away. I am truly 100 % sorry for you and your family in this time of need. But just remember keep your head held high keep the laughs flowing and remember he is still with you and looking down on you and wouldn't what you doing anything thing else. with lots love from baltimore, maryland . jess
Kathy- last night's show was a wonderful reminder of how much you loved your father, and how much he loved you. You should be proud of how his comedic influence served you well and the legacy of his gift with live with you forever. I'm sorry for your loss. Every daughter should have a father like yours. I did, and I miss mine too.
I wish you much success when you come to my neck of the woods (Ft. Worth, TX) next month. Hopefully I will be there!
Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing like the loss of a parent. I lost my mother two years ago and she was my best friend. Just take it one day at a time and remember that he is always with you. You have good memories and he helped mold you into the person you are today. Let's here it for our gays now. Keep smiling and remember that your Dad is pain free now. I know both you and your Mom as well as your brother are feeling such an emptiness right now. God Bless
