A human being died, someone who had brought you a good measure of joy.  What
would be stupid shit is not caring, not having a reaction.  You don't have to
know someone to mourn, and mourning is not less worthy because the one you
grieve for was not a superstar but merely someone who shone for a small while.
Hell, most of us never shine at all.  Teresa Graves brought joy to others and
that makes her passing significant.  May you be comforted, Patrick.
