Thoughts and prayers to her family at this time.

Who is faye? I know who tara is of course.

Faye is Tara"s mother.

[Blink34]

My deepest sympathies to The Grinstead family and friends. I hope Mrs. Grinstead gets the comfort of being with her child finally. God Bless.

That being said, I find it dispicable that she passed on without the benefit of seeing her daughter's murderer pay for their crime.

Thank you CP. This is all so very sad but I know Faye is now with Tara.

[LillyRush]

This is always so heartbreaking when a parent passes away before knowing what really happened to her child. The memorial is very sweet.

Everyone has already said everything else I was thinking too, so I'll complete this with - ditto to all the above!

[believe09]

Oh my- peace to the family and I hope Faye learns the answer to the question...

[PrayersForMaura]

My thoughts and prayers are with Faye and Tara's family.
I think of Tara all the time and Faye, too.
This is extremely sad.

May she rest in peace.

[Lucy's mom]

I wonder what happened to her? Perhaps she died of a broken heart? If I had to endure what she is going through, I'm pretty sure I would pass on as well.

RIP Faye Grinstead. I'm so glad that you are now with your loving daughter.

[concernedperson]

If anyone wants to sign the guest book please do. I am sure the family would appreciate the warm thoughts.

[curious1]

Well Faye finally knows what happened to her daughter. :( At least that is my belief.

[panthera]

God Bless her, and may she find peace with her daughter and the angels. :o

Bumping if anyone wants to sign the guest book as the funeral is in the morning at 11 AM.

[DEPUTYDAWG]

How very nice that contributions could be sent to Equusearch.

In my beliefs, Faye has had her reunion with Tara in heaven, and now has the answers she couldn't find here on earth. :blowkiss: Now she needs to send some messages back to earth to give the investigators the info they need for justice on earth to be doled out :)

This reminds me of Amy Billig, her mom died too without finding out what happened to her daughter. I believe now she knows.

[christine2448]

I didn't know this. Prayers for Faye. Thinking of Tara as well.

[murdershewrote]

Prayers for Faye and for Tara., and all their family and friends...hard to believe it's been almost 3 years now. But, as others have said so beautifully, they are reunited. No more looking "thru the glass darkly" but seeing all perfectly clear.

I think it is so nice that they are asking for donations to Texas EquaSearch for Tim Miller...he tried very hard to find her.

[gaia227]

She was so young. Does anyone know what caused her death?

[christine2448]

Faye had struggled with cancer for years and had been in remission at the time Tara went missing. I apologize I do not remember what type.

[gaia227]

Thank you Christine.

RIP Faye.

I thought the same thing. It made me think of Patsy Ramsey. She passed with out the peace of understanding JonBenet's murder. (IMO)
