Doch was war überhaupt passiert? Wie die Polizei erklärte, hatten die beiden Mädchen auf einem Schlitten gesessen, der von einem 16-Jährigen mit einem Jeep gezogen wurde, als das Gefährt plötzlich gegen einen Bordstein krachte. Durch den Aufprall schleuderte der Schlitten daraufhin gegen einen Baum und verletzte die Freundinnen schwer.Der Jeep-Fahrer wurde bei dem Unfall nicht verletzt, stand anschließend jedoch unter Schock.

Tracy Brito, die Mutter der verstorbenen Grace, gab gegenüber CBS News ein Statement: “Unsere Familie ist untröstlich und am Boden zerstört über den Verlust unserer wunderschönen Tochter.”Die 16-Jährige sei “eine freundliche und großzügige Seele, voller Liebe, Zuneigung und Wärme” gewesen, die den Menschen um sich herum immer nur helfen wollte. Kein Wunder also, dass ihre Familie nun ihrem Wunsch nachkommen möchte, ihre Organe zu spenden.”Wir werden sie vermissen bis zu dem Tag, andem wir sterben.”Grace und Elizabeth seien Tracy zufolge “einfach unzertrennlich” gewesen. “[Elizabeth] war eine von Graces besten Freundinnen”, erklärte die trauernde Mutter. “Sie waren ständig beieinander zu Besuch.”

SHE TRIED TO SING ONE LAST TIME. BUT THERE WAS ONLY THE SOUND OF THE WIND. At the Kennedy Center Honors tribute, Carrie Underwood stepped out to sing “Blue Bayou.” Linda Ronstadt sat in the honoree box, her hands trembling from illness. As Carrie reached the climax, she suddenly pointed the microphone toward Linda as an invitation. Linda moved her lips. The whole world held its breath, waiting for that “golden voice” to soar. But no sound escaped. Her throat was locked tight. Instead of shame, Linda smiled and lip-synced along in silence. The entire room realized: The voice had died, but the soul was still singing louder than anyone.

At a small music festival in Texas, Blake Shelton made a shock, unannounced appearance. He didn’t perform his usual rowdy, upbeat hits. Instead, he walked out holding a battered old guitar; etched onto the neck were two intertwined initials, now faded by time. “I swore I’d never sing this song alone,” Blake said, his voice dropping to a low rumble. It was a ballad they had written together during their happiest days—a song that had never been released. Blake sang the male verses, but when the female part arrived, he let a weeping guitar solo fill the silence instead of words. His eyes remained fixed on a shadowed corner of the stage wings—the very spot where rumors swirled that Miranda herself was quietly watching. As the song ended, Blake left the guitar resting on center stage and walked straight off, leaving a massive question hanging over his fans…

THEY SANG ABOUT BROKEN DREAMS. AND THEN THEY SAW HER IN THE FRONT ROW. As the group performed “The Class of ’57″—a song tracing the fading lives of high school classmates, from housewives to factory workers to those gone too soon—Don Reid spotted an elderly woman in the front row, sobbing uncontrollably. She was clutching a tattered, yellowed yearbook photo. Don realized she was the real-life embodiment of “Mary” from the lyrics—the girl who once dreamed of being a movie star, but whose hands were now calloused and weathered by a hard life. Don stepped off the stage and gently took her hand. The song didn’t end with applause; it ended with a shared, sympathetic silence for all the youthful dreams that never came true.

TWO BEST FRIENDS WERE HARMONIZING. THE THIRD COULD ONLY CRY. Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris went to visit Linda Ronstadt at her home. Together, they were the legendary “Trio.” They began to sing “To Know Him Is To Love Him.” Out of a habit built over 40 years, they paused, leaving space for Linda to hit the high harmony. But Linda, sitting in her wheelchair, simply shook her head in helpless silence. Dolly Parton—the woman known for her eternal smile—stopped singing immediately. She dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around Linda’s legs. “I will sing your part for you,” Dolly promised, “for the rest of my life.”

They were the “Trio.” Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt. Three of the greatest voices in the history of music, woven together into a single, perfect…
