Thank you, Carl....it was horrible to have to tell her yesterday because when she comes in the door, the very first thing she always says is "where's my sweet baby girl" and I couldn't catch her before she said it. I did not want to call her and tell her on the phone and I couldn't have spoken Thursday anyway. But, bless her heart, she cried the whole time that we were here although we left shortly after she came and didn't come back until right before she left but I know she had been crying a lot, too. She surely loved our little one and I told her I knew that in her own special way, Gracie loved her...because Uncle Carl said so. She was blessed to have been directly touched by that sweet, fiery little spirit.Dear Marje,
Today it occurred to me that someone else near and dear to you, (and to all of us through you), who must be devastated by this is Lupita. Please pass on a big hug from me. Beyond you and Mike, she probably knew LBG the best.
Be strong and bless you all
Carl
I think you are right.((((((Marje)))))) I am heartbroken for you.
Fly free and don't land softly -- somehow I know she landed with all the "thunk" of a spunky tomboy in a tutu, announcing her fiery presence to all.
Oh my, and here I thought we would make it through a day without crying. What a wonderful love. Such strong hearts. And the power of the purr.Your words on Gracie's SS, just about broke my heart. I haven't written on here, because I'd make it all about me...how heartbroken I am.

Love you and Gracie loved all her aunties and uncles for I told her about you all as I told you about her.Dearest Marje

Sometimes, one of the reasons we love the kitty, is because we love the bean. So it is with Gracie. It was your stories of her antics, and her silliness, and your love for her, shining through, that made her so real for those of us, who never met her in person. Now it's your pain we feel, also.
I hope Tobey is well, as he must miss his rasslin' partner.
Bless you, my Friend.

And I am certain she sent me a sign today. Her SS has a poem called "My Love is a Butterfly". I was out in the garage and turned around and there by my foot was a beautiful, tiny, delicate butterfly. I bent down to look at her and she flew up and circled my head many, many times. Then she flew out of the garage, back in, and circled my head again.Thinking of you all tonight. Gracie is smiling down.

(((Marje & Mike))) I've been thinking of you both a lot the last few days and hoping that you are finding some peace and solace in your wonderful memories of the LBG. I thought you might find comfort from this poem that a friend sent me when my mum passed, but the sentiment is the same for any loved one who passes. I hope it helps to heal your broken hearts in some small measure.![]()
That is perfect!! Especially in light of how her SS looked the last few days. Definitely a rainbow girl.View attachment 17736
I believe Gracie wanted you to know she had reached the Rainbow Bridge and had her wings.

Thank you so much, sweet ToniOh, Marje! I've missed all of this devastating sad news until today. Who could been more loved than your Gracie? You were both inspirations to all of us whose lives you touched on the FDMB. Since we can't be there to hug you and Mike and lonesome Tobie too, please hug one another through this. How one little feisty gorgeous princess of a kitty and those who loved her could have such a beautiful profound uplifting impact on so many is incredible.Sweet Gracie's memory and legacy will live on. And you have been not only a generous and tremendous help to so many of us, but an inspiration of faith and courage, generosity and love. In my heart and prayers I cradle you, Mike, Tobie, and the beautiful spirit of Gracie!![]()
