I too want to express my condolences to all of us and family and friends of Gracie's who became so much part of her. She touched all of us with her passion for life. So vibrant, so loving and so incredibly vulnerable. I was shocked when Viktoria called me
to say that she had passed. I was with Gracie yesterday afternoon. About 5:15 we said goodbye as she and Tiki walked me to the car. She had suffered constant migraines the last two days and sleep was elusive. She said that it felt like her body was on
fire, but she did not want to sleep, just rest with her Tiki-kitty curled up, like a work of art, beside her on the bed. She spoke powerfully, many times about loving EVERYONE so very much and how grateful she was for each person's love. Gracie captured
their energy and added it to her joyful, indomitable spirit. As you know, Gracie talked freely about her passing. I felt that she had worked hard to prepare for her passing, but held out a tiny bit of hope that it would not happen for a while. </div>

I am deeply grateful to Gracie. On a walk to the ocean I felt her presence loving all she has always loved with outstretched arms. May she enter a vastness of even more splendor. May she guide us, like Sue urges her to.</div>
