Grier’s Type 1 diabetes, which was diagnosed when she was 7 years old, was severe enough that she couldn’t be left alone much. She always had someone checking in on her or calling an ambulance to take her to the emergency room when her blood sugar became perilously low. Mylo changed that, giving freedom, independence and loving company until Grier died in 2019 at the age of 42.
