Through your friendship, it seems you truly added something wonderful to the lives of these amazing women, as they did to yours. I am truly sorry for your loss, and as i say, thankyou for offering them friendship when it seems very few others did. I respect these beautiful characters so much, in their fearlessness and intelligence. Seeing their incredible strength and spirit has truly changed my life, and I never even met them. May they both rest in peace, and may you find peace in your own life. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your stories and insight with us.

It was as if I had known Mrs.Beale long before we had actually met. It started the very first afternoon and our friendship was established , it was everything to me to have been so comfortable and welcome. There was the night when the moon sat over the crest of the mansion and the vines had covered the windows, that I felt so alive . It was the great mansion itself with all its secrets and the guardian of that mansion that held me captive. I simple could not imagine my life if i had not known Mrs.Beale & Edie. I have grown to know that there is so much more to life then we know,the soul of a person,is far more important than anything I have ever known. In the years since my dear Mrs .Beale had been with me, I have lived in my memory of the very magical Grey Gardens. The courage of there own ideas to live as they chose was a strenght to me and has been forged in my soul., my life my love for life itself. May Almighty God watch over each one of us,I bow to you with great respect., Laura Catherine friends forever Jerry There were many moments at Grey Gardens when I just felt so safe .

I get them, and you know of course, they were misunderstood on so many levels. What a honor you have had knowing them, truely a gift. My father shared some of the qualities of big Edie, he lived in much the same way after my mom left. My dad saw good in all people (even my mother),was educated, had manners, and did not see his house falling apart around him-- only the beauty of the rose bushes blooming outside. We eventually convinced him to let us fix things up, but I think he was happier before. Mrs. Beale and my father were cut from the same cloth. I have so much respect for them, and I hope they meet in heaven. God Bless Jerry When I first discoverd the story of big and little Edie, I fell in love with them.
