It is with such a heavy heart that we share that
Joe Gracey lost his long battle with cancer.
Joe was so pleased to hear from PHS classmates following
the email we sent about the Austin American Statesman article.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Joe's wife, Kimmie,
his daughter, Jole; stepsons, Gabe & Jeremie Rhodes,
and all Joe's family members.

Bless you, Joe - a life well lived.
"Contrabandistas", from the album "Picture in a Frame," is a song
Joe & Bobby Earl Smith wrote, and Kimmie and Willie Nelson sang.
We understand it will be sung at Joe's Memorial in December.
In Memory of Joe Gracey

A note to us from Joe:
Thanks ever so much for the kind words! I am going to compile a blog of all the stories and tributes people are sending in - save me a lot of work! Seriously, thanks for doing that and please feel free to distribute my email address - I hate Facebook messages and never use it unless forced to.
Much Love,
Joe
