We were very sorry to hear that Gracie had passed. Our therapy dog group visited her every other Thursday night and always looked forward to our visit. Last Christmas, Maggie, my dog took her a poinsetta plant, every time we went in to visit she would thank Maggie!!! We are going to greatly miss her. You are in our prayers.
