Default Gracie Update

I'm sure most of you have noticed that Gracie has been missing from this forum for a few days (with maybe a short post here and there).

Gracie and "Sweetie" received the very sad news that Sweetie's twin brother passed away very suddenly on Sunday.

Gracie, Sweetie and Helene left for Ohio very early yesterday. The wake is this afternoon and the funeral is tomorrow. They will be back home on Friday.

I have been in close contact with Gracie and of course, they are shocked and very saddened by the sudden death of his twin.....a wonderful person by all accounts.

My heart and prayers go out to them. I thought you would want to know.

- Karen aka swimdawg

My sympathies go out to Gracie and her family, especially to her husband. The loss of a twin is a devetating experience and partly a loss of one's self. I am sure this is a heartbreak. We miss you Gracie and may your husband find strength with your love.

Please let Gracie know that my thoughts and prayers are with her, Sweetie and Helene.

I would be devastated if I lost my twin brother...Sweetie holds a place in my heart...

Was wondering why Graciegirl had not been posting as much.

My condolences for the loss of her brother-in-law.

Thanks for letting us know - I had noticed that she had been absent over the last couple of days (for the most part).

This is sad news. I will be keeping Gracie, Sweetie, Helene and family in my thoughts and prayers.
