FILE - In this Nov. 27, 2013 file photo, Vernita Gray, left, and Patricia Ewert, smile after their wedding ceremony in Chicago. They were the first couple to be married after the gay marriage law was signed by the governor. Because Gray was terminally ill, they were issued an expedited marriage license before the state's gay marriage law took effect in June 2014. A family friend says Vernita Gray died late Tuesday, March 18, 2014, of cancer. She was 65. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)
