Kimmie it is with deep regret that I've just dieovcersd in January/February edition of Maverick over here in Ireland that your husband Joe Gracey had passed away on November 17th in Houston Texas. Me and my wife Josie and her sister Rosaleen were talking to you after your great show in The Market Place, Armagh,in September 2011 and you were looking forward to seeing Joe in France where you were going for a vacation. At that stage we thought that he had won his battle once again and were looking forward to seeing him tour with you again as he was the complete Gentleman. This sad News has really brought it home to us how Artists like yourself have to perform even though you are going through such pain in your private life just to entertain us your fans! We can never thank you enough for the sacrifice you and your family go through to make a couple of hours of our life enjoyable and memorable and all I can say on behalf of my wife Josie and her sister Rosaleen is thank God for you and your family and JOE GRACY R.I.P. May God give you the strength to carry this burden you are faced with and hopefully allow you and your Son to visit us again!!! Joe might be gone but he will not be forgotten here in Ireland. God Bless! Francie McCann
