It's hard to believe it's been two years since Gray's death. I still think of her when I see water, and I hope that her gifts of generosity and belief in the power of change continue to grow in us all.

I've just searched Gray's name on momma metasearch engine to find her obit, and I am devastated. I knew her since 1973 when she guided me into the Washington County N.O.W. chapter, and my life has never been without her whisper in my ear, especially when confronted with an ethical dilemma, when I'd ask myself, "what would Gray say?" I've dreamed of her often but never knew she was gone. I guess for me, she's still around, hey?I hope that is so too, for everyone else who has been touched by her glamour and wisdom. Bon voyage, dear Sister. See you in my dreams. Sojourner(she gave me this handle for our CB trip in the 70's) and I, remember taking the Free Amazon Oath @ Indian Lake. We loved Marion Zimmer Bradley together. I have long since shortened the name to Sage, but you all might remember me as Kris Williams. Blessed Be, dear Janet and Lou.

Dear Janet and everyone -- When my latest email to Gray was returned, I started looking on the web, hoping I would not find what I found. My love and good thoughts go to you all. Even though Gray and I did not get together frequently, our long friendship allowed us to always pick up right where we had left off. I am so sad we won't have the opportunity to do that again.Janet, if you see this, please keep in touch.Much love to you all, Cindy

I am saddened by Gray's passing. She shared her home, and freindship with me.Even though I have not seen her in many years that never kept me from remembering her and the happy times together. She was a great person and will be missed by many.

I was very sad when my good friend, Kate Podvia, shared the news about Gray's death. Gray was indeed a person who touched many lives and I truly enjoyed being in her company. I offer that not only was she an advocate for women but also for children. When Kate & I worked for Volunteers in Partnership (VIP), Gray opened the Indian Lake house for our "girls weekend". They all wanted to ride in Gray's Jeep! The lasting & favorable impressions in this regard are priceless. My heartfelt condolences to Janet, Lou and family.

Gray helped build communities in all aspects of her life: for her family, for kids, for victims of domestic violence, for women in the arts, for NOW members, for anyone seeking a safe space to discuss the state of the world. I join the many who will long remember "sunset cruises" at the Lake, weekends with more laughs than could be counted and quiet times with Gray alone, as she struggled with the NYTimes crossword. My best wishes to Janet. I am sad that you have lost your mom, but I know you will keep her in your heart, as will we all.

So many years of friendship and camraderie with wonderful memories of fun and always interesting times at the lake. Gray's generosity and support of women and their children by invitations to share her space at the lake were always welcome. Halloween's past, from witching ceremonies to costuming to anything (almost) goes will surely be remembered and missed by those of us who had the opportunity to share with Gray and whoever showed up. I worked for Gray (and Flo) so many years ago at Birmingham Booksellers. It was truly a delight to open boxes of new books with Gray and share her excitement. I will miss her and all who knew her will miss the centeredness and grounding that was so much a part of the lake experience. I'll be thinking of her when JK Rowling releases her next tome.

I have always thought of Gray as wise elder; someone who thinks deeply, and argues passionately, about the issues that meant the most to her. And she did so while driving the boat and nudging someone up on skis for the first time! I always assumed Gray would be around to guide my journey into old age. I will miss her.

I met Gray at a racism workshop at the YWCA in Washington, PA. I was impressed by her understanding of the issues. We were good friends ever since, working on YWCA and NOW projects together for years. The Wildsisters restaurant/gallery/gathering space would never have happened without Gray. We started meeting for dinner there on Wednesdays - it was the best day for her to come to town, and my kids were with their father. This was March 1983. Soon others joined us for dinner, and thus began the Wednesday Dinner Group, which still gets together every week. Gray influenced my kids in many ways with her openness, her values and her inner/outer child. She touched so many lives. I will never forget her and the many good times and good works we shared.

I always looked forward to Gray's return from Sanibel each year to rejoin the Wednesday night dinner gatherings. She brought a little more laughter, more good stories and her special knack for telling them. So for now, I'm just going to think she's down in Sanibel and I'll see her on theh beach someday.
