What a wonderful lady! She will be missed by all she touched.

My the Comforter bring your family strenght and peace.
God Bless Renee and Charles Smith

I will miss your warmth and smile. My prayers go out to Ed and the rest of the family.

Thank you for being the wonderful woman who gave a wandering stranger a job. Along my travels I somehow landed in Beaumont. There, you met me once and instantly offered me kindness and love as if I were family. People like that are never forgotten by people like me.

One of the kindest women I've ever met, Who was always supportive of creativity and expression... Who helped bring a little color into a washed out grey world.

You loved music, and I loved YOU! We'll meet again to dance and sing.

Gytha's dedication to making Logon such a special place enriched my years in Beaumont and made for some of my fondest memories. Thanks, Gytha, you will be missed.

From as far back as I can remember, Gytha has occupied a special place in my heart. As a kid she was my favorite Aunt because she was so much fun, always listened, always thoughtful, and always gave me the coolest toys for Christmas and birthdays. After I had grown up and moved off to Austin, it was she that called me to offer a part in opening The Logon Cafe. The 13 years that came after my decision to join Gytha and Ed in their wonderful endeavor were undoubtedly some of the absolute best years I've seen yet.

Spending time with Gytha was always a pleasure. One of her favorite things to do was to listen to music. Many times Gytha and I poured through her record or cd collection, listening to them until the wee hours of the morning. We dreamed about inviting famous musicians to play at The Logon Cafe... names like Shake Russell and Willie Nelson always came up. The Shake Russell Trio later became one of the most popular acts to regularly grace the Logon stage. Those nights, Gytha was clearly in her zone, because Shake was always her favorite. Together, Gytha and I built many cabinets, shelves, desks, for the Logon Cafe... she like to joke that she was my woodworking "helper."

She was always "delightful" to spend time with, regardless of the situation... regardless of how mad she may have been at me at any particular time, she never made me feel unloved.

The pastor at the memorial service asked for us to offer one word descriptions of Gytha. The crowd offered them up for over 5 minutes... all of rang true of Gytha. But now that I think about it, the best one word description for Gytha was her own description of herself, "helper." Gytha was a friend and "helper" to everyone she knew in many different ways.

I look forward to the day when I get to see Gigi again.

Much Love,

Ed & Family,
So sorry to hear of Gytha's passing. She always welcomed us with that big smile whenever we came to The Logon, so warm and friendly. She always made us feel at home. She will be truly missed by all the local musicians and fans at The Logon. You are in our prayers. God bless.

My precious Sister, what can I say? You are so loved, and missed already. I am truly blessed to have had you in my life for your entire life. I couldn't have loved you more. You were my childhood companion and my adult friend, my Sister forever. And I will miss you terribly, until we meet again. Gytha, I know it was our special "inside" joke......But you absolutely were, in truth, DELIGHTFUL.
I love you with all my heart, baby girl. My only comfort is to know you are now with the LORD and have joy unspeakable and full of glory.
Your devoted Sister,
Sherry

So sad to hear the news. My condolences to the family

To all of Gytha's family, we will miss her. She always treated us as if we were family and for a long time she would make a special call to Clay to tell him she was making some of her special gumbo, which he loved, and he'd go and have some for lunch. Everyone at Logon are terrific people.
We love you all and you will be in our prayers as we pray for peace during this difficult time.
All our love,
Clay and Robbie Duval

I know Gytha is in Heaven and probably hanging out with the musicians there, dancing with that wonderful smile on her face. But she will be missed here.

My deepest sympathies Ed and family.

Ed:

You and the family are in our thought and prayers.

Yea-Mei and Casey Sauer

Gytha always had such a warm and caring presence. I last saw her a few months ago and had no idea the seriousness of her illness. She welcomed us so warmly, as always, and as she did everyone. I am so sad and shocked to hear of her passing. She will be missed.

Ed, Kelly, Rodney, Jason, and all of the Logon family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lynn

Although its been many years since I've seen Gytha she still holds a very speacial place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family.

I knew Gytha for a short time when we were teenagers but she made a huge impression on me. She was kind. Keeping her family in my prayers.

You will be missed. RIP my friend.

I will forever remember Gytha's smile and her laugh. I loved seeing her standing by the sound booth dancing to the music. She was such a bright spot in this world.

We are going to miss her smilling face at the Logon! We have had so many good times & made a lot of memories at the Logon Cafe. (It's like Home to me & Theresa) May god bless the family during this time of sorrow.

Your friend's Leroy & Theresa

Bernice Dowden and all her family send our prayers for comfort to the grieving hearts of Gytha's family and many friends. We love you.

As much as I try to search, it feels impossible to find the words that describes this hurt. All I truly know is that I do not want to imagine what it would have been like to have never been apart of Gytha's life. I will always thank her for being there for me and for all of us.

Always enjoyed being with Gytha, whether in high school or at the Logon! She will be truly missed!

It always hurts when you lose loved ones, and Gytha, you are loved by many and will be sorely missed.
This world has lost a wonderful lady, and is a sadder place for it.
Much, much love from Buffalo Blonde.

Ed,
Completely shocked to hear of Gytha's death. What a wonderful person who treated everyone that came in to the Log On like family.

Ed - our hearts go out to you during this difficult loss. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

Ed and family,

This news was shocking to me! She said she was sick, but I truly had no idea how sick she was. It was always fun to see her at the LogOn when our band was playing. She sang along with a lot of our songs. She really enjoyed herself. I will miss her and her encouragement after we played. Blessings of peace and comfort to your family as you begin this new year. Please know you have people praying for you!

Ed, Kelli and Family, so sorry to hear about the loss of Gytha.
She was a neat and special lady, as you all know. We will miss her, and are thankful for all of our times at the LogOn and getting to know Gytha and Ed. Thinking of you all!

Rod and Michelle Strah

To Gytha's family - I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you and my thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Gytha, we will miss you greatly. Appreciated the opportunity the past couple of years to play at the Logon. You were an inspiration and fan of our band. Rest in Peace.

Our world was blessed to have Gytha, not only did she carry a light with her here on earth but I will never forget her smile nor her laugh. I was 13 years old when I was blessed to meet her and her wonderful family, she became my mother's dearest friend and a woman I to looked at for guidance, I will be forever thankful for that. The world should know that however bright she shined here with us is now empty, but with God her light will Now and Forever shine down among us and it will be even Brighter. With all my Heart and my deepest sympathy Please Know She will be missed.....

The music community mourns the lose of one of it greatest supporters. We will truly miss Gytha and her infectious enthusiasm. Our prayers and deepest compassion to Ed and family.

Gytha will be missed by all who knew her, a kind a gentle soul. May the Lords grace and peace be with the family.

Ed and Kelli, and the rest of Gytha's family,

Your grief is shared in some small measure by those of us who enjoyed Gytha's warmth and grace. I knew that she was ill, but hoped that she could beat this. She will be greatly missed by those of us who have spent so many happy hours at the Log On. I pray that your sweet memories will help you through this time of sorrow.

Diane Baxter

Gytha was a very special women, and will be missed by all that knew her. I feel honored to have known her!

My prayers go out to the family and friends

You were a part of my family for years. My Mother & Dad thought so much of you. Your smile will be greatly missed on Calder Ave. & in the hearts of the community. May God be with you and with your family.

We have lost a wonderful friend and member of our community. My condolences and prayers are with her family. We'll miss you Gytha. RIP.

We are so saddened by this news of our good friend our hearts go out to you and your family.

A bright light has dimmed in all of our lives. Gytha will be missed by all who knew her.

I always enjoyed talking to both Ed and Gytha, and even though I knew she was not in good health, I was still shocked to hear that we had lost her. She and Ed created a very special place in the LogOn Cafe, with a large following of customers and friends. It's the kind of place where you always feel at home. Gytha was always happy to see me, and no matter how busy she was, she would go out of her way to chat a little, and to make me feel welcome. My thoughts are with Ed and his family during this time of grief.

Prayers for all of the families associated with Gytha Grissom. Her Wildmon family has always held a special place in my heart, and I consider Gytha a long-time friend. May God be with you all during this difficult time.

This is the day that I've dreaded......having to say goodbye to Gytha. She was always warm, intuitive, and wise. I will miss her smiling face and our talks.
Much more than that my heart goes out to her family, as their world is now forever changed......even though they were blessed to have had her in their lives.

My prayers are with the family during these tough times. I am so sad knowing that I will not see her smile at the cafe. Love, Vicki

It is an honor to say that I knew and loved this woman, and a heartbreak to say goodbye. R.I.P. Gigi.

Sweet Gytha,
I am so blessed to be one of the multitude of singer/songwriter/musicians that you and Ed welcomed into your LogOn Cafe Home. I use the word home instead of business because the musicians in this town truly felt at home at the LogOn, and it was because of You and Ed. Thank you for welcoming us, loving us, and supporting us, and on a personal note I wish I had hugged you a little bit longer when I played there a few weeks ago...You loved my family, and we loved you and yours...As much as you loved music, I am sure you are hanging out with some pretty cool folks about now in Heaven...And Ed, We love you man, you have a huge community of people who are lifting you and Chantell up, and will be there for you however we can.

I will miss Gytha very much. She always was a great fan on all of the musicians who played at the LogOn. I have really enjoyed playing at the club these last 12 and a half years and Gytha always was very supportive of the live music scene. Won't be the same without her. Praying for her family in this difficult time.
