Our thoughts go out to comedian Kathy Griffin as she mourns the loss of her sister, Joyce, who passed away on Friday. 

The evil beast that is cancer took her life from her, age 56. 

My sister Joyce passed away peacefully last night.
Check out this beautiful moment.

Kathy's brother, Gary, also died from cancer three years ago. 

The comedian posted a video of her sister from her hospital bed, sharing one of her favourite moments towards the end, listening to music and dreaming of being on the beaches of Hawaii with a Mai Tai. 

She also urged people to donate to the American Cancer Society. 

Kathy shaved her head earlier in the year in solidarity with her sister and to raise awareness for cancer.
