I started to cry the moment this video started. I am sorry to you all for your loss. I know our pets are family to us and I will miss looking for her to come get her cheese. She was so adorable and sweet!💔
Isn't it amazing how a sweet kitty like Gracie Lou can bond strangers all around the world, at once watching her beg for her little bit of cheese and then grieving her loss as if she were our own? Rest in peace sweet Gracie Lou. Hugs and prayers to you all as you take this time to grieve her loss. ❤
That was brave Mandy, I know this was a very difficult episode to film. My heart hurt as soon as I saw it and I said I’m gonna need a minute before I can watch this. You all did a beautiful job. Gracie was loved far and wide, she was the star of the show for sure. None of us will ever be able to look at cheese and not think of her. Thank you for sharing with us. We love you guys and send hugs and prayers.
Steven’s love and concern for his wife is absolutely palpable. I can just ‘feel’ how badly he wants to ease his wife’s pain. So protective…So beautiful….
I bawled when I realized…..I had not seen the other post. I adored Gracie , and her cheese loving self. I knew she had years on her and , tbh, I dreaded this day. So many of us loved that sweet girl. Bless you all, it is always so hard, losing a dear family member. She had been in your family a long time. Love and blessings to you all.
I'll miss seeing Ms. Gracie on your videos. I cried when I found out. Pets only are here on earth for such a short time, but leave forever pawprints on our hearts. When I lost my silky Terrier Henry in 2013, I waited a couple months and then headed to the shelter to rescue a broken hearted lab/shep mix. Henry would have wanted me to give him shelter, love and the best food. It helped me get through the rough months ahead and our rescue is now almost 12 years. Leave your heart open. You know you can never replace her, but you can help another kitty feel all the love you have to give. Huge Hugs for your family during such a difficult time.
Wow that was so sincere “Leave ur heart open” cause she can’t be replaced . But she would want them to share their love for another kitten/ cat, in need of Love n a loving home. I will totally consider that advice .after losing my cat In May this yr .my heart is still broken n left with a hole of sadness , But what u said is so true thank you ,I’m so sorry about Henry too. They left 🐾 on our hearts ❤
@@bbgirl6741 Yes, BBgirl, please adopt a new pet into your loving home. We have done this many times over the years when our pets (who mostly all lived LONG lives) crossed the RB Bridge. We always knew that our pet would approve giving a needy pet a home and we found it is the only thing that can help with the pain, even though we always have surviving pets (3 at this time) the one we loose is so special that it's loss is devastating. Please help yourself and a needy animal have happiness and adopt. 💔❤
My heart fell and my mouth gaped when I saw the title. All I could say was, "Oh, NO!" Then, as I read the comments, the tears started. Bless you for sharing your lives with us, and allowing us the joy of knowing Gracie Lou. Praying for peace as you move forward. Love from NC
Oh Mandy, there is honestly nothing worse than losing a forever pet. My prayers go out to you and your family. Gracie Lou was totally loved, ( that is easy to see, and she was loved by you and your family! ) she will be missed by everybody, her sweet yes please for cheese! 😍 my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.❤️😊
I do know what you are going thru. In 1999 my wife had breast cancer and to help her recover we got 2 kittens that where sisters and looked just like Gracie, except much larger, named Jasmine and Daisy. The papers that came with them showed their birth date was March 11, which is my wife's birth date. My wife passed in 2012 and shortly afterwards Jasmine passed then 2 months later Daisy passed. I lost all 3 girls within a few months. Yes it takes awhile to get over the loses, as if we ever do. Pets are family. To this day I still find hidden treasures from those two girls. How they got those toys in some of those places will remain a mystery to me. With love from our house to yours. Tink!
I loved watching Gracie Lou come running for cheese. My pup does the exact same thing. Now, when I give him cheese , I say" one for you, one for Gracie Lou!" God bless you all!!!!❤
As a fur parent, my heart breaks for y'all on the loss of sweet Gracie. She'll always hold a special spot in our hearts. I still grieve the loss of our sweet Robbie and Gator. I know them and Gracie are chasing each other and sitting at the feet of my late grandmother and mother-in-law waiting for cheese, shredded chicken, and if they're lucky cornbread. Lol. We'll continue to pray for y'all.
My 6 yr old son and I discovered your channel at the first of the year, and you guys have become part of our night time routine. We will snuggle and giggle as we watch your video. We absolutely adore you all!!! Back in April my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Your videos helped pull us through some tough times in the hospital. The cheese monster is his favorite!! We are very sorry to learn of her passing and are praying for comfort and peace in your time of grieving. Ms Gracie Lou brought a lot of joy to us and will be greatly missed! Thank you for bringing us into your home, sharing your family, and for the great recipes you all inspire a 6 yr old to want to make!! God bless you!
It's wonderful that you had Gracie for her whole life. Don't grieve, CELEBRATE her time with you!! There are those of us who have not been that fortunate. ❤❤❤
You two did an amazing job on this video! You are both so tender with each other, just as you were with Gracie. What a blessed girl she was to have been part of your family and loved so unconditionally by all three of you. Prayers for your healing, comfort and peace at this difficult stage.❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m really going to miss seeing Gracie Lou. I loved how she knew when you were making something with cheese. Rest in Paradise Gracie Lou ❤
I am still crying my eyes out. It is so hard to lose a family member. I still see my precious Angel in all of her spots 10 years later. But they enrich our lives and we strive to do the same for them. Gracie Lou gets all the cheese she wants now. My heart goes out to you and your family. ❤
Can't hold back the tears 😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️💖 Just know she's in Heaven running around playing and jumping with all the other fur balls that have gone before us! No pain or sorrow
One of the hardest things about being a pet parent is having to escort our babies to the Rainbow Bridge. I've been to the foot of that bridge too many times to count, and my heart crumbles every time. There are a few times a furrykid headed off to that bridge without me. None of the "saying goodbye" process is easy. It's also incredibly unfair that our furrykids aren't here for our whole lives. (That's on my list of things to ask God about when I get to Heaven.) Honor and embrace the grieving process. It's not easy, it's not fun, but it's very necessary. Grieving is a healthy response to loss - and our whole body needs to move through that process. I loved watching Gracie Lou demand and collect the cheese tax. I'll miss her, too. Thank you for sharing her with us, and for allowing us to join you in saying goodbye to her. ❤
Yes thank you Mandy for allowing us to grieve with y’all It would be so hard for us if u wouldn’t have shared with us this loss cause we loved her too she was the queen of cheese n star of the video.
Your grief and sadness is palpable. Gotta be very difficult to film during your sadness, and without your Gracie Lou co-star. I send you prayers of comfort and love.
I can't help but cry I miss your little angel Gracie Lou, I did not realize she was 20 years old. I had a cat Maxine who was 22 when she died, and I did have a personal cremation for her and all the others that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Take Care and God Bless to you and your family.
I know that was hard for you all to do this first video since you lost sweet Gracie Lou. We all miss her too. I have knots in my stomach as I watch knowing your sweet girl will not come looking for some cheese. I loved watching how Stephen so obviously watched over you. It was so sweet and loving. Thank you for sharing your home and recipes with all of us! Ok, back in the cabinet we go-until next time!❤
The hardest part of losing a much-loved pet is the "new normal" that has to begin. Those thoughts of her in the kitchen begging for cheese, or looking out the window, etc., will bring tears at first, but will bring comfort in the future. Treasure the part of your life that was shared with a little grey kitty-girl named Gracie Lou!! Sending hugs & prayers!! (Yes, I'm crying as I write this. I'm just a big ol' softie!)
What a beautiful tribute to sweet Gracie Lou! I know your pain, our animals are family, not pets! Although it hurts so much to lose them, we were so blessed to have them. Thank you for sharing your sweet girl with us!
We love y'all sooo sooo much❤ Thank you for being a part of our family everyday 🎉 BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS ❤️💕 to Miss Gracie Lou...she is ALWAYS with you...
I grieve with you all for the loss of your precious Gracie Lou! I will miss seeing her waiting for her cheese and chicken. She was such a beautiful girl with the prettiest green eyes. I pray the good Lord heals your hearts and that you will one day be able to remember all the memories with Gracie without it being so painful! Remember all cats go to Heaven!
I am fortunate enough to have my vet as my neighbor. Over the years, he has always come to our home (or my parents, who are also my neighbors) when we needed hospice / end of life services for our pets. He even help one of our babies cross over down in our woods because it was her favorite spot. I could not ask for a better vet, neighbor and friend. I cried as soon as I saw the title of the video and all throughout the video. Gracie was a good girl. She was beautiful and demanded her spotlight. When I found your channel, I knew she was a senior kitty. I could almost bet that she was blind or at least legally blind. I have senior kitties (rescued them when they were 2 weeks old, bottle fed them and couldn't let any of them go). They are now 14 and one is starting to show her age. I'm holding on tight. A friend of mine told me she has pets, but she doesn't get attached... I'm not sure how she does that, but my kitties are a part of me. Like you, when you get out cheese, you'll always think of Gracie, when certain things happen after they are gone will always remind me of them. They are a permanent part of us. God bless you all.
I'm over here crying over your loss. Gracie Lou has crossed the rainbow bridge, but will NEVER be forgotten. Prayers for you all during this very difficult time. We have a 15yr old PepperAnn dog that is nearing the end and I'm soo not ready or prepared. Our fur babies are true family, and we will always and forever love them. Thank you so much for being strong during this difficult time, I would not be able to do it. Love you all!!!🐺🐺🐺🐺💓💓❤❤❤
Couldn’t help to tear up!!! Our pets are such a big part of our family and Graci Lou was special to your UA-cam family too!! Time helps but they’re always remembered, thought of and missed!
Such a lovely tribute to your sweet Gracie Lou. You have all been on my mind so much these past days. I didn’t realize Gracie passed on the 17th, that was my Birthday. You all gave her the very Best cat life ever and she made your lives, and ours on UA-cam so joyful and her memories will live on forever. Chewy is the Best Pet Company ever! They sent me a Beautiful flower arrangement when my 13 year old Alexie passed from Feline Asthma in 2022. Love and prayers to you all.❤️
That first sip of coffee in the morning is the most amazing taste ever. I've missed you guys. Glad you are safe from all the storms. I am still praying for everyone effected by all these horrible storms.
I just saw the video now as I felt it was hard enough for you and you needed time to honor Gracie Lou in private. They are so much mire than pets, they are members of the family. Gracie was a very lucky girl to have been a part of your family as long as she had. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. She will live on forever in everyone's heart. It's true , take all the time you need.
I believe there could not have been a better tribute to Miss Gracie Lou. Tears are flowing for your lost but also for the love shown in this tribute to a special family member who has passed over the rainbow bridge.
Beautiful. You have such wonderful memories of Gracie Lou. 20 years is a large part of your life. I lost my boy Todd 2 years ago. He was with me 19 years. He was always beside me. My other boy Sarge immediately took to me afterwards as if he knew I needed the company. He was 4 years younger. He passed this year. I have wonderful memories but still hurt deep inside. Take it one day at a time. Never apologize for missing your girl. Prayers for yalls heart.
I'm sorry for the sadness you've had to deal with. I hope you now have a new dog to love and help heal your heart as only a pet can. Sarge & Todd would be proud & happy that you are helping someone new. RIP Todd & Sarge! ❤❤
So sorry to hear about your precious Gracie Lou!! I lost my Chichi back in May and it's never been the same. Prayers for your sweet family as you adjust 😢🙏❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼God Bless y’all . She was a very sweet and precious little girl. 🐾🐾 I’m a cat mama I have 4 my oldest one he’s around 15 years old they become our little angels 😇 I know it hurts sending big hugs 🤗 she will be missed so much. I’ll miss her wanting that cheese 😢❤️🙏🏼RIP Gracie Lou😇
God Bless Gracie Lou❤. I lost my 15 year old Papillon “Chloe” on 9/10/24. Yes they are pets, but they are a BIG part of our families and we love them and will miss them very much! Gracie was a sweet little girl and we all loved seeing her “ask” for her cheese fix. My prayers are with your family.❤❤
Bless Miss Gracie Lou 😥 You were blessed to have her as a companion and she was blessed to have you as her family! Now she can have all the cheese she wants.🧀
I know exactly how you feel. I had a manx named Buddy. Followed me everywhere. Had him for 18 years. It's been a few years now but he is always missed. Your Gracie Lou was so sweet. I'm sorry for your loss. Memories are so precious.
I watched this and just cried for you all. Praying for your healing after your loss. Just remember Gracie Lou is sleeping on God's sofa now. She will be waiting there for you. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, crying as I write this. Your fur baby was the cheese queen of your show, and I bowed my head in silence for Miss Lou. Sending prayers and vibes your way.
Just made the chicken tender tacos, and oooh my gosh but they’re amazing! This is definitely at the top of our list of Mandy recipes. You got us started on just Bare chicken many months ago, and we love it. Mandy, you’ve introduced us to so many tasty recipes … I just can’t thank you enough. ❤️
This was a beautiful remembrance for little Miss Gracie, your girl. I hardly know what to say because I know the pain is as great as the love, which is obviously a great love. Sending you all lots of hugs, love, and prayers.
I'm still just so sad for all of you. I'm sitting here crying. We share in your grief and completely understand just how empty your home feels. As I've said, it's so hard to think that something so small can leave such a huge hole in our heart. Thank you for sharing your food, your family, your life and your loss with us. Sending a healing hug with heartfelt sympathy.
I cried through the video. She was so beautiful. I know how much you miss her. You are the best cat mom ever. Twenty years is a long time to have with a baby.
Well that was just about the sweetest start to a video Ive ever seen. Im so sorry for your great loss of your precious Gracie Lou. She sure had a great life in a very loving home. I wanted to reach through the screen and just give you a big hug Mandy. Yall are so loved and appreciated. StephenSteven, your kindness and support of Mandy is so beautiful. Couple goals for sure. May God comfort your grieving hearts and continue to bless you and yours with His peace.
I know I'm gonna cry already. I don't even need to watch to know it's gonna be a beautiful tribute to Gracie Lou. Thank you, Mandy, for sharing her with us. Love and hugs to you and your guys. We'll miss you, Gracie 💜💔 may God give you allll the cheese.
I'm so sorry ❤ May you all find comfort knowing how lucky and blessed you were to have had such a beautiful friend and family member for so long. Bless you all for sharing her sweet soul with us
Tears! So many tears, I too started crying immediately! Please know that we're thinking about you all and praying for your family during this difficult time. It's been such a pleasure getting to see your sweet Gracie Lou these past couple of years that we've been watching you and she will be missed by so many! Sending you all lots of love, thoughts, prayers and big hugs!! 💚🙏🥺
So very sorry for your loss. ❤ I had to let my sweet dog cross the bridge earlier in the year as well. Thinking of you all of you and sending healing energy your way.
So sorry for your loss. I know that pain all to well. Losing a pet is definitely like losing a part of your family. I cried while watching, but too am glad to hear Gracie Lou is no longer in pain. Praying peace and comfort for you and your family. ❤
We loved your Gracie Lou tribute video and we're very sorry for your loss of her. We know how hard losing a pet can be. She's always watching over you. ♥️💜
As soon as you opened th cabinet door i lost it. I keep listening for Gracie's meow. When I give my babygirl her cheese i will tell her its for your Gracie girl. We all love & miss you Gracie Lou ❤
😥 Oh My G'Ness..... the title pops up, and I burst into tears!!! Ahhhh, I am so sorry, Lil Gracie was such a huge part of your videos!!!! Sending hugs from Northern Minnesota!!!!
I’m so so sorry to hear about losing your sweet Gracie baby. Pets always hold a special place in our hearts. We love them more than some of our humans lol. I think God only gives us so much time with our pets so we have time to love more pets. Just remember we will all see our loved ones again, even our 4 legged ones. Be happy she chose you to love!!
I am so sorry about your beloved Gracie, i loved watching her. We lost our Ferguson in August as a result.t of pancreatitis so I can feel your pain. It is just so hard..
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet cat. There is something special about these little critters that take hold of our hearts. Thinking of you all in this time and joining this community in getting ready to cook.
I’m devastated about GRACIE LOU’S passing 😭😭😭. She looked so young, not ever 20 years old. She was so special to everyone, please know we are praying for y’all and sending love and hugs. 🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🐈😭😭😭🙏
Thank you Margaret for saying what I am sure we all feel. Grief is real for our fur family as it is with the human family. Little Miss Gracie was truly the star of many an episode. 1will miss her mews for munchies and squeaks for cheese. My Tink enjoys occasional cheese tidbits because of lil miss. Thank you all for being able to share yourselves and her now. You are so generous. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Prayers. I cried seeing this. God bless you all. Absolutely heartbreaking. I just lost my Maggie back in June and still heartbroken. It's like losing a child. May God bring you comfort and peace.
Just sat down for chicken dinner, and put your video on. My dinner is now cold because of the tears. My dog Nira dies not like cats, but when Gracie was on, she just watched, never barked or anything. She was such a sweet baby, and she was just as blessed as you! RIP baby girl Gracie lou..u r already missed so much!
Thanks for coming back and being brave enough to share your grief with us. I’m 64 years old and have lost both parents, two siblings, all my aunts and uncles, a few cousins and 3 cats. Losing a cat is right up there with losing a parent so just expect o break down I tears periodically. Then get another cat or take in the one that was in Cole’s video. You’ll feel better.
Thanks for sharing the story of Gracie Lou on your channel. As a pet-lover it was fun seeing her in your kitchen with you. Being a senior, over the years we have loved and lost many pets and are awaiting the day when we are all together again. Our help to survive the loss has always been to give a new pet a home ASAP. At this time the shelters are over-filled & one would be thrilled to be in your wonderful home. We knew in every case that our fur babies would want us to rescue a homeless pet & give it the same loving home they enjoyed. Blessings to you family at this sad time and RIP to sweet Gracie Lou. 💔😻
This is the video we all knew was going to have to come one of these days, I am so sorry for it to be here now. Those of us blessed to have pets in our lives know this pain too well and grieve with and for you. Gracie Lou is going to be remembered by us all.
I am saddened by the news of Gracie's passing. Seeing her was something I looked forward to with every video. I can't thank you and your family enough for your videos. Gracie will be missed so much by your viewers. Many hugs and much love to you and your family. I am 75 and everyone calls me Nana
My condolences to you and your family. As soon as I read about Gracie Lou, I cried. Not just for her, but for the family. Everytime my grandkids would ask for cheese, Gracie Lou came into my mind. I will always remember her through my grandkids now. May your grieving process help you remember Gracie Lou and remember the great days you had with her.
I loved watching Gracie Lou get her "cheese fix" in many of your videos. So many of us understand the pain of losing our precious and beloved pets - they really ARE part of the family. When we lost our precious Jinxie cat back in 2016, the pain was so bad for a while. I had to remind myself that loving him and enjoying him for 12 years far outweighed the awful hurt of losing him. The LOVE won! Six months later we adopted Frankie who is 7 now, and yep, lots more kitty-love! Hugs to you all during this really tough time.
I have been watching yall for a long time and noticed immediately something was wrong. I loved seeing Gracie Lou being so interactive with yall. I recently in july of this year had to put one of my oldest dogs down (he was 17 years old). I started to cry knowing the pain yall are in im so sorry for your family. She was the sweetest furbaby and the cutest one. I will miss seeing her in yalls videos wanting her cheese. 💔❤🩹
Oooh this was tough 😢I cried from the beginning till the end 💔 She is so loved and was greatly missed from all of her typical cameos!! From kitchen cheese to her dinner cries 😊 sending the biggest hugs and prayers!! Grief after all is love with no place to go ❤
I was fine and was enjoying listening to both of you from the cabinet As soon as you opened the door the tears started flowing. This was a beautiful video and a wonderful keepsake of Gracie Lou. You handled it beautifully. Gracie Lou was such a major part of your videos I would love to still see a little clip of Gracie Lou in every video. Miss Gracie Lou is a cherished family member. And she will be missed indefinitely. Run and play and curl up on the Lord's Lap and RIP Miss Gracie Lou.❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, I've cried this whole video. Im so sorry, not paying much attention to the recipes. 2nd video I've cried on. I'll probably cry everytime i watch your videos now. It's so hard losing your baby. I cry when all my friends lose a fur baby. I'm always a mess when i lose one of my babies. Sending much love and big ole hugs your way.💔🙏😥🩷
I started bawling my eyes out, just seeing the title! I am so sorry for your loss. Maybe the rainbow 🌈 🌉 has lots of cheese and she can eat to her delight Now you have to do a video on all things cheese in honor of Gracie Lou!! Rest in peace sweet baby girl, you were always one of my favorite parts of your hoomans videos. You reminded me of my Sweet Angel, Lesa-Lesa, 18. Maybe you will find her up there She's a silver tabby tortie Maine Coon not any bigger than you 🐾🐈💔😭
I started to cry the moment this video started. I am sorry to you all for your loss. I know our pets are family to us and I will miss looking for her to come get her cheese. She was so adorable and sweet!💔
Me too.
Me too…
I am srryfor your loss I wwill miss her when you will have cheese, 0:06
Me too💔🙏💔🙏
I cried from the start as well.
Isn't it amazing how a sweet kitty like Gracie Lou can bond strangers all around the world, at once watching her beg for her little bit of cheese and then grieving her loss as if she were our own? Rest in peace sweet Gracie Lou. Hugs and prayers to you all as you take this time to grieve her loss. ❤
That was brave Mandy, I know this was a very difficult episode to film. My heart hurt as soon as I saw it and I said I’m gonna need a minute before I can watch this. You all did a beautiful job.
Gracie was loved far and wide, she was the star of the show for sure. None of us will ever be able to look at cheese and not think of her. Thank you for sharing with us. We love you guys and send hugs and prayers.

I too have been in this exact same situation, many cats, dogs and parakeets, this was hard to watch. Love you guys 💗
Yes well said!
Yes,grate cheese, open it, buy it ❤

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
You are so strong ❤ thank you for telling your story
God bless your sweet heart ❤
Why did both cats die at just 12 years? Most cats that are well taken care of live much longer than 12 years. 😢
Oh my! The tears are flowing. So sorry! We will certainly miss Gracie Lou! Our little cheese girl. Prayers for you all. Wishing you a great day!
I love that your husband is so caring and thoughtful.
I'm so sorry for your loss of Gracie Lou, I'll miss her meowing for her cheese. She always made me laugh. She will be greatly missed!
Seeing this post broke my heart. Your beautiful Gracie was such a joy to see in your videos. Prayers of love and healing.
I loved watching Gracie Lou come running for cheese. My pup does the exact same thing. Now, when I give him cheese , I say" one for you, one for Gracie Lou!" God bless you all!!!!❤
As a fur parent, my heart breaks for y'all on the loss of sweet Gracie. She'll always hold a special spot in our hearts. I still grieve the loss of our sweet Robbie and Gator. I know them and Gracie are chasing each other and sitting at the feet of my late grandmother and mother-in-law waiting for cheese, shredded chicken, and if they're lucky cornbread. Lol. We'll continue to pray for y'all.
Gracie Lou was a delight. How wonderful you had her for 20 years!
My 6 yr old son and I discovered your channel at the first of the year, and you guys have become part of our night time routine. We will snuggle and giggle as we watch your video. We absolutely adore you all!!!
Back in April my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Your videos helped pull us through some tough times in the hospital. The cheese monster is his favorite!!
We are very sorry to learn of her passing and are praying for comfort and peace in your time of grieving. Ms Gracie Lou brought a lot of joy to us and will be greatly missed!
Thank you for bringing us into your home, sharing your family, and for the great recipes you all inspire a 6 yr old to want to make!! God bless you!
Bless you & your family, especially your son who is facing health challenges. 💕
It's wonderful that you had Gracie for her whole life. Don't grieve, CELEBRATE her time with you!! There are those of us who have not been that fortunate.
❤❤❤
I have never cried so hard for a kitty I have never met. I have thought and prayed for you every day. ❤
@@amiestafford7340 me too.
You two did an amazing job on this video! You are both so tender with each other, just as you were with Gracie. What a blessed girl she was to have been part of your family and loved so unconditionally by all three of you. Prayers for your healing, comfort and peace at this difficult stage.❤
Drippy eyes here and I am so very sorry for the loss of your girl. She will be missed by all of us who love all of you.❤❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m really going to miss seeing Gracie Lou. I loved how she knew when you were making something with cheese. Rest in Paradise Gracie Lou ❤
I am still crying my eyes out. It is so hard to lose a family member. I still see my precious Angel in all of her spots 10 years later. But they enrich our lives and we strive to do the same for them. Gracie Lou gets all the cheese she wants now. My heart goes out to you and your family. ❤
Can't hold back the tears 😘🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️💖
Just know she's in Heaven running around playing and jumping with all the other fur balls that have gone before us! No pain or sorrow
I agree. I believe our pets are waiting in heaven for us.

AMEN HALLELUYAH
And she's eating cheese whenever she feels like it.
One of the hardest things about being a pet parent is having to escort our babies to the Rainbow Bridge. I've been to the foot of that bridge too many times to count, and my heart crumbles every time. There are a few times a furrykid headed off to that bridge without me.
None of the "saying goodbye" process is easy. It's also incredibly unfair that our furrykids aren't here for our whole lives. (That's on my list of things to ask God about when I get to Heaven.)
Honor and embrace the grieving process. It's not easy, it's not fun, but it's very necessary. Grieving is a healthy response to loss - and our whole body needs to move through that process.
I loved watching Gracie Lou demand and collect the cheese tax. I'll miss her, too. Thank you for sharing her with us, and for allowing us to join you in saying goodbye to her. ❤
Yes thank you Mandy for allowing us to grieve with y’all
It would be so hard for us if u wouldn’t have shared with us this loss cause we loved her too she was the queen of cheese n star of the video.
Cheese Tax indeed!! Miss Gracie Lou was one of a kind!!❤
Your grief and sadness is palpable. Gotta be very difficult to film during your sadness, and without your Gracie Lou co-star. I send you prayers of comfort and love.
I can't help but cry I miss your little angel Gracie Lou, I did not realize she was 20 years old. I had a cat Maxine who was 22 when she died, and I did have a personal cremation for her and all the others that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Take Care and God Bless to you and your family.
I know that was hard for you all to do this first video since you lost sweet Gracie Lou. We all miss her too. I have knots in my stomach as I watch knowing your sweet girl will not come looking for some cheese. I loved watching how Stephen so obviously watched over you. It was so sweet and loving. Thank you for sharing your home and recipes with all of us! Ok, back in the cabinet we go-until next time!❤
The hardest part of losing a much-loved pet is the "new normal" that has to begin. Those thoughts of her in the kitchen begging for cheese, or looking out the window, etc., will bring tears at first, but will bring comfort in the future. Treasure the part of your life that was shared with a little grey kitty-girl named Gracie Lou!! Sending hugs & prayers!! (Yes, I'm crying as I write this. I'm just a big ol' softie!)
What a beautiful tribute to sweet Gracie Lou! I know your pain, our animals are family, not pets! Although it hurts so much to lose them, we were so blessed to have them. Thank you for sharing your sweet girl with us!
Thanks for sharing all the lovely things people shared with you. She was loved right along with the rest of your family. ❤
🙏🙏☝️💔🌈🐈🐾
You are so sweet, thank you.
We love y'all sooo sooo much❤
Thank you for being a part of our family everyday 🎉 BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS ❤️💕 to Miss Gracie Lou...she is ALWAYS with you...
You gave Gracie Lou her ever best cat life.
I am so sorry, such a huge loss to you and your family.😢❤
I grieve with you all for the loss of your precious Gracie Lou!
I will miss seeing her waiting for her cheese and chicken. She was such a beautiful girl with the prettiest green eyes.
I pray the good Lord heals your hearts and that you will one day be able to remember all the memories with Gracie without it being so painful! Remember all cats go to Heaven!
I am fortunate enough to have my vet as my neighbor. Over the years, he has always come to our home (or my parents, who are also my neighbors) when we needed hospice / end of life services for our pets. He even help one of our babies cross over down in our woods because it was her favorite spot. I could not ask for a better vet, neighbor and friend. I cried as soon as I saw the title of the video and all throughout the video. Gracie was a good girl. She was beautiful and demanded her spotlight. When I found your channel, I knew she was a senior kitty. I could almost bet that she was blind or at least legally blind. I have senior kitties (rescued them when they were 2 weeks old, bottle fed them and couldn't let any of them go). They are now 14 and one is starting to show her age. I'm holding on tight. A friend of mine told me she has pets, but she doesn't get attached... I'm not sure how she does that, but my kitties are a part of me. Like you, when you get out cheese, you'll always think of Gracie, when certain things happen after they are gone will always remind me of them. They are a permanent part of us. God bless you all.
I'm over here crying over your loss. Gracie Lou has crossed the rainbow bridge, but will NEVER be forgotten. Prayers for you all during this very difficult time. We have a 15yr old PepperAnn dog that is nearing the end and I'm soo not ready or prepared. Our fur babies are true family, and we will always and forever love them.
Thank you so much for being strong during this difficult time, I would not be able to do it. Love you all!!!🐺🐺🐺🐺💓💓❤❤❤
Yes, I shed tears for Gracie Lou. Loved seeing her eat her cheese etc..will miss her too. 🥰🇬🇧
Couldn’t help to tear up!!! Our pets are such a big part of our family and Graci Lou was special to your UA-cam family too!!
Time helps but they’re always remembered, thought of and missed!
Me too... Gracie Lou was a special treat when we got to see her.
Ohhh I am so sorry to hear about Gracie Lou. She was the sweetest and I loved her meows for cheese. Sending lots of hugs.
So sorry for your loss, losing family is so hard. I’m glad I live in your cabinet now too. Your family has become very special to me.
Margaret’s comment is perfect. I’ve been fighting tears the whole video. Love, prayers, and hugs to you.
Such a lovely tribute to your sweet Gracie Lou. You have all been on my mind so much these past days. I didn’t realize Gracie passed on the 17th, that was my Birthday. You all gave her the very Best cat life ever and she made your lives, and ours on UA-cam so joyful and her memories will live on forever. Chewy is the Best Pet Company ever! They sent me a Beautiful flower arrangement when my 13 year old Alexie passed from Feline Asthma in 2022. Love and prayers to you all.❤️
Oh my dear “lil cheese girl” 😢she will be missed by all of us!
Prayers for you and your family to find comfort in always remembering Gracie Lou💔🙏
That first sip of coffee in the morning is the most amazing taste ever. I've missed you guys. Glad you are safe from all the storms. I am still praying for everyone effected by all these horrible storms.
I just saw the video now as I felt it was hard enough for you and you needed time to honor Gracie Lou in private. They are so much mire than pets, they are members of the family. Gracie was a very lucky girl to have been a part of your family as long as she had. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. She will live on forever in everyone's heart.
It's true , take all the time you need.
Thank you so much Daphne. We are still struggling 😭
I believe there could not have been a better tribute to Miss Gracie Lou. Tears are flowing for your lost but also for the love shown in this tribute to a special family member who has passed over the rainbow bridge.
Sweet little Gracie Lou may she rest in heaven. God bless you both for taking such good care of her for 20 years.
Beautiful. You have such wonderful memories of Gracie Lou. 20 years is a large part of your life. I lost my boy Todd 2 years ago. He was with me 19 years. He was always beside me. My other boy Sarge immediately took to me afterwards as if he knew I needed the company. He was 4 years younger. He passed this year. I have wonderful memories but still hurt deep inside. Take it one day at a time. Never apologize for missing your girl. Prayers for yalls heart.
I'm sorry for the sadness you've had to deal with. I hope you now have a new dog to love and help heal your heart as only a pet can. Sarge & Todd would be proud & happy that you are helping someone new. RIP Todd & Sarge! ❤❤
So sorry to hear about your precious Gracie Lou!! I lost my Chichi back in May and it's never been the same. Prayers for your sweet family as you adjust 😢🙏❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼God Bless y’all . She was a very sweet and precious little girl. 🐾🐾 I’m a cat mama I have 4 my oldest one he’s around 15 years old they become our little angels 😇 I know it hurts sending big hugs 🤗 she will be missed so much. I’ll miss her wanting that cheese 😢❤️🙏🏼RIP Gracie Lou😇
God Bless Gracie Lou❤. I lost my 15 year old Papillon “Chloe” on 9/10/24. Yes they are pets, but they are a BIG part of our families and we love them and will miss them very much! Gracie was a sweet little girl and we all loved seeing her “ask” for her cheese fix. My prayers are with your family.❤❤
Debbie so sorry for ur loss as well. In May my fur baby passed away too, after 10 yrs, it’s the hardest pain..💔🐾

Such a sweet tribute to your little girl, thank you for sharing her with us, she will be truly missed.
Bless Miss Gracie Lou 😥 You were blessed to have her as a companion and she was blessed to have you as her family! Now she can have all the cheese she wants.🧀
I know exactly how you feel. I had a manx named Buddy. Followed me everywhere. Had him for 18 years. It's been a few years now but he is always missed. Your Gracie Lou was so sweet. I'm sorry for your loss. Memories are so precious.
My heart is breaking right now - on the verge of tears. I have enjoyed your videos so very much. I am indeed on the verge of crying -- Sandy
I watched this and just cried for you all. Praying for your healing after your loss. Just remember Gracie Lou is sleeping on God's sofa now. She will be waiting there for you. ❤
Thank you for sharing Gracie Lou with us. What a wonderful tribute. Heal in your own way and at your own pace. Sending love and comfort.
I'm so sorry for your loss, crying as I write this. Your fur baby was the cheese queen of your show, and I bowed my head in silence for Miss Lou. Sending prayers and vibes your way.
Just made the chicken tender tacos, and oooh my gosh but they’re amazing! This is definitely at the top of our list of Mandy recipes. You got us started on just Bare chicken many months ago, and we love it. Mandy, you’ve introduced us to so many tasty recipes … I just can’t thank you enough. ❤️
This was a beautiful remembrance for little Miss Gracie, your girl. I hardly know what to say because I know the pain is as great as the love, which is obviously a great love. Sending you all lots of hugs, love, and prayers.
I'm still just so sad for all of you. I'm sitting here crying. We share in your grief and completely understand just how empty your home feels. As I've said, it's so hard to think that something so small can leave such a huge hole in our heart.
Thank you for sharing your food, your family, your life and your loss with us. Sending a healing hug with heartfelt sympathy.
Perfectly said Cynthia totally agree Amen !
I cried through the video. She was so beautiful. I know how much you miss her. You are the best cat mom ever. Twenty years is a long time to have with a baby.
I did too.
Well that was just about the sweetest start to a video Ive ever seen. Im so sorry for your great loss of your precious Gracie Lou. She sure had a great life in a very loving home. I wanted to reach through the screen and just give you a big hug Mandy. Yall are so loved and appreciated. StephenSteven, your kindness and support of Mandy is so beautiful. Couple goals for sure. May God comfort your grieving hearts and continue to bless you and yours with His peace.
He grooms you BUT he also looks at you with such admiration!! It’s really cute!! It’s obvious how much he loves you!! 💕 very sweet!
So sorry to hear of Gracie passing, tears came to my eyes when I see the video. Sending prayers, warm friendly hugs and thoughts.
I know I'm gonna cry already. I don't even need to watch to know it's gonna be a beautiful tribute to Gracie Lou. Thank you, Mandy, for sharing her with us. Love and hugs to you and your guys.
We'll miss you, Gracie 💜💔 may God give you allll the cheese.
I'm so sorry ❤ May you all find comfort knowing how lucky and blessed you were to have had such a beautiful friend and family member for so long. Bless you all for sharing her sweet soul with us
Tears! So many tears, I too started crying immediately! Please know that we're thinking about you all and praying for your family during this difficult time. It's been such a pleasure getting to see your sweet Gracie Lou these past couple of years that we've been watching you and she will be missed by so many! Sending you all lots of love, thoughts, prayers and big hugs!! 💚🙏🥺
So very sorry for your loss. ❤ I had to let my sweet dog cross the bridge earlier in the year as well. Thinking of you all of you and sending healing energy your way.
So sorry for your loss. I know that pain all to well. Losing a pet is definitely like losing a part of your family. I cried while watching, but too am glad to hear Gracie Lou is no longer in pain. Praying peace and comfort for you and your family. ❤
We loved your Gracie Lou tribute video and we're very sorry for your loss of her. We know how hard losing a pet can be. She's always watching over you. ♥️💜
So much love to you all. We loved Gracie so much and will miss her terribly. Take your time to heal and keep all the happy memories alive!❤❤❤
I already sent my condolences but again so sorry for you loss. Also I just live your family sending lots of love from North East UK.
Thank you so much for this encouraging comment.
As soon as you opened th cabinet door i lost it. I keep listening for Gracie's meow. When I give my babygirl her cheese i will tell her its for your Gracie girl. We all love & miss you Gracie Lou ❤
WE SURE DO MISS HER ALREADY 💔
I cried so much through this video. I lost my pit bull last September. She had cancer. I feel for you! ❤
😥 Oh My G'Ness..... the title pops up, and I burst into tears!!! Ahhhh, I am so sorry, Lil Gracie was such a huge part of your videos!!!! Sending hugs from Northern Minnesota!!!!
As soon as I saw the title of the video, the tears started. Thank you for persevering with your videos. Love to all. 🇨🇦😘
Rest in Peace sweet girl Gracie Lou😻 Thank you for sharing Mandy ❤
I’m so so sorry to hear about losing your sweet Gracie baby. Pets always hold a special place in our hearts. We love them more than some of our humans lol. I think God only gives us so much time with our pets so we have time to love more pets. Just remember we will all see our loved ones again, even our 4 legged ones. Be happy she chose you to love!!
We lost a cat we loved, 6wks. later both of us found another cat, and brought her home, and that was best thing ever to heal our hearts
I am so sorry about your beloved Gracie, i loved watching her. We lost our Ferguson in August as a result.t of pancreatitis so I can feel your pain. It is just so hard..
I am so sorry for your loss. I loved watching little Gracie Lou eat her cheese….you and your family have my deepest condolences. 💔
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet cat. There is something special about these little critters that take hold of our hearts. Thinking of you all in this time and joining this community in getting ready to cook.
Gracie will certainly be missed by all of us watchers. Hugs!
I’m devastated about GRACIE LOU’S passing 😭😭😭. She looked so young, not ever 20 years old. She was so special to everyone, please know we are praying for y’all and sending love and hugs. 🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🐈😭😭😭🙏
Thank you Margaret for saying what I am sure we all feel.
Grief is real for our fur family as it is with the human family.
Little Miss Gracie was truly the star of many an episode.
1will miss her mews for munchies and squeaks for cheese. My Tink enjoys occasional cheese tidbits because of lil miss.
Thank you all for being able to share yourselves and her now. You are so generous. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Prayers. I cried seeing this. God bless you all. Absolutely heartbreaking. I just lost my Maggie back in June and still heartbroken. It's like losing a child. May God bring you comfort and peace.
Just sat down for chicken dinner, and put your video on. My dinner is now cold because of the tears. My dog Nira dies not like cats, but when Gracie was on, she just watched, never barked or anything. She was such a sweet baby, and she was just as blessed as you! RIP baby girl Gracie lou..u r already missed so much!
Thanks for coming back and being brave enough to share your grief with us. I’m 64 years old and have lost both parents, two siblings, all my aunts and uncles, a few cousins and 3 cats. Losing a cat is right up there with losing a parent so just expect o break down I tears periodically. Then get another cat or take in the one that was in Cole’s video. You’ll feel better.
Thanks for sharing the story of Gracie Lou on your channel. As a pet-lover it was fun seeing her in your kitchen with you. Being a senior, over the years we have loved and lost many pets and are awaiting the day when we are all together again. Our help to survive the loss has always been to give a new pet a home ASAP. At this time the shelters are over-filled & one would be thrilled to be in your wonderful home. We knew in every case that our fur babies would want us to rescue a homeless pet & give it the same loving home they enjoyed. Blessings to you family at this sad time and RIP to sweet Gracie Lou. 💔😻
I was so glad to see her box in the kitchen you can still put a piece of cheese on her box when you are cooking ❤
This is the video we all knew was going to have to come one of these days, I am so sorry for it to be here now. Those of us blessed to have pets in our lives know this pain too well and grieve with and for you. Gracie Lou is going to be remembered by us all.
Amen 🐾
I am saddened by the news of Gracie's passing. Seeing her was something I looked forward to with every video. I can't thank you and your family enough for your videos. Gracie will be missed so much by your viewers. Many hugs and much love to you and your family. I am 75 and everyone calls me Nana
My condolences to you and your family. As soon as I read about Gracie Lou, I cried. Not just for her, but for the family. Everytime my grandkids would ask for cheese, Gracie Lou came into my mind. I will always remember her through my grandkids now. May your grieving process help you remember Gracie Lou and remember the great days you had with her.
I loved watching Gracie Lou get her "cheese fix" in many of your videos. So many of us understand the pain of losing our precious and beloved pets - they really ARE part of the family. When we lost our precious Jinxie cat back in 2016, the pain was so bad for a while. I had to remind myself that loving him and enjoying him for 12 years far outweighed the awful hurt of losing him. The LOVE won! Six months later we adopted Frankie who is 7 now, and yep, lots more kitty-love! Hugs to you all during this really tough time.
I have been watching yall for a long time and noticed immediately something was wrong. I loved seeing Gracie Lou being so interactive with yall. I recently in july of this year had to put one of my oldest dogs down (he was 17 years old). I started to cry knowing the pain yall are in im so sorry for your family. She was the sweetest furbaby and the cutest one. I will miss seeing her in yalls videos wanting her cheese. 💔❤🩹
Oooh this was tough 😢I cried from the beginning till the end 💔 She is so loved and was greatly missed from all of her typical cameos!! From kitchen cheese to her dinner cries 😊 sending the biggest hugs and prayers!! Grief after all is love with no place to go ❤
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful girl 💕 Lovely that she was home and her passing was peaceful and surrounded by love.
I was fine and was enjoying listening to both of you from the cabinet
As soon as you opened the door the tears started flowing. This was a beautiful video and a wonderful keepsake of Gracie Lou. You handled it beautifully. Gracie Lou was such a major part of your videos I would love to still see a little clip of Gracie Lou in every video. Miss Gracie Lou is a cherished family member. And she will be missed indefinitely. Run and play and curl up on the Lord's Lap and RIP Miss Gracie Lou.❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, I've cried this whole video. Im so sorry, not paying much attention to the recipes. 2nd video I've cried on. I'll probably cry everytime i watch your videos now. It's so hard losing your baby. I cry when all my friends lose a fur baby. I'm always a mess when i lose one of my babies. Sending much love and big ole hugs your way.💔🙏😥🩷
I started bawling my eyes out, just seeing the title!
I am so sorry for your loss.
Maybe the rainbow 🌈 🌉 has lots of cheese and she can eat to her delight
Now you have to do a video on all things cheese in honor of Gracie Lou!!
Rest in peace sweet baby girl, you were always one of my favorite parts of your hoomans videos. You reminded me of my Sweet Angel, Lesa-Lesa, 18. Maybe you will find her up there
She's a silver tabby tortie Maine Coon not any bigger than you 🐾🐈💔😭
