ok, this is rough

Grady, so sorry about your news. Please be strong and remember all your time together and all the lives you have effected together. It was a pleasure to meet you both, my youngest daughter brings you two up in conversation all the time.
 
Grady,

Any attempt to offer condolences to someone in your position just seems hollow and empty. Having lost several family members to cancer, I have some idea how you feel.

It never gets any easier. This is the universe forcibly reminding us that life is as often horrible as it is beautiful. I'm sorry for you, my friend.

Accept my condolences

My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to an old pal that it going thru a terrible time. Randi was jam up and will be missed by all.

Here's the deal, honored posters: Randi is dying. We're told it's a matter of hours or at best, a few days. She's not coming home and that's it. She's in a lot of pain and doesn't recognize family members.
I'd like to sell Grady's Billiards. It would be for much less than if she were going to be with me. I need badly to get away from things for a while, although I am going to play in the World Straight Pool Championship. She'd want me to.
Thanks,

Grady

Grady,

I'll be keeping you, Randi and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. If you need help with anything, let me know. I'll be on the next flight. I mean that. You and Randi have been blessed with such a wonderful time together - remember those good times. Its okay to cry and its okay to smile. You'll find yourself doing both - and doing both will show you just how much you loved her. Keep your head up - you'll add a definite depth of class to the World Championship this year.
 
So sorry for you Grady as well as all of Randi's family and friends. It's tough losing a loved one, especially someone so special like Randi.

I know it is tough on you right now. Perhaps you should just let Grady's Billiards be run by a family member for a while until you can sort out your thoughts more clearly.

Grady,

I only know you through this Forum. My prayers are with you and Randi. Please, Now is not the time to think of business, your house and all that stuff. Now is the time to give and receive support. Let the rest ride for a while.

Go into the 14.1 with a purpose.

God bless you Grady.
 
sad

Grady...All of us are very sorry to hear about Randi, and although our prayers are with you, I understand the sadness and grief that you must be feeling. I hope you can do what you have to do, to pick up the pieces and move on, with your life, in a positive way. Best of luck at the straight pool tournament! Many of us would love to see you win! :D

Sorry to hear this news. She was so vibrant at the DCC this year. My thoughts and prayers are there for you and Randi.

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Wishing you the best in the World Championships.

Sorry to hear this, Grady.

I will miss her. You may recall 2yrs ago at Derby City during the fire drill, you were doing some gambling or in a mood or something, so Randi and I slipped across the street to the bowling alley for 2hrs or so and had a long chat over beers... she told me her love story with you (I asked). She was a sweetie, and I liked her. Short and fiesty, all woman, and proud. Of you.

Sorry you have to let her go. Take some time and remember the good times you two made together.

Mr. Mathews,
There's absolutely nothing I can say that can begin to ease your pain, so I won't. The situation you're faced with sucks more than anything any man/woman can think to endure.
You have my solemn vow that if there is ever anything I can do for you or your family I would consider it an honor and a privledge to do so.

My thoughts are with you and your family during this, what must seem unendurable, time.

Under the circumstances and with all due respect---you will have many precious memories to cherish.
 
Grady, in situations like these, it's hard to find the right words to say. Nothing we say is going to ease the pain that you feel, but we only hope that we can give you and Randi a little comfort.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
 
I Hate to Hear This.

Grady,

I'm so sorry for you and Randi. Life can be very hard and this is pretty bad news. You'll be in our prayers.

Grady,

I hope her passing is peaceful and pain free for her and filled with nothing but memories of the good times for you. We all wish we could take some of the pain away so it were easier to bear.

Stay as strong as you can.
