I posted a longer message on Social about what I found out about Gracie, but I know not all of you go to social, so I'm putting this here. I have been worried about Gracie ever since she left so suddenly, and have intermittently searched the net for information about her.
Early this morning, after my WP and I stayed up all night searching again, we have what I consider conclusive information that Gracie passed away on July 27, 2003. We do not know the manner of her death.
I think I know what we are feeling about this. I think maybe Gracie's sentiments might be expressed in this poem (which I took the unjustified liberty of editing in two places):
"I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well."

Much love to you all,
Shar

Shar,
I'm so sorry about Gracie. I did not know her well, but I still feel the loss.
I know that you have been feeling badly lately. Please do not give up. I wish I could help to make the pain go away.
Thinking of you,
Alli

Shar--This is, of course, devastating news. But thank you for letting us know--that is important. ANd thank you for your perseverence in trying to find her.
So sad.

Here is that post--perhaps her last post before she died?

Shar, do you think this should be sent to the police in case they're still investigating?

Noa,
That is a very good question. But, because I don't know the cause of death I can't answer it too sensibly. That bit of information has been very difficult to obtain (with my limited internet skills).And, there is the issue of 'protecting' Gracie's privacy. That is a pickle for me, too. Because she was pretty frank and open, I would not really like to direct her family's attention here if not necessary. On the other hand, if there is any question about her death, I would want people to know she was in a violent situation (according to her last posts plus emails to me).
The problem is trying to obtain the information. I will keep on, and your suggestion is high on my list of priorities if it is at all a questionable situation.
Thanks for your thoughts on this issue,
