I am so sorry to hear about Gracie. It is always so sad when we lose our pets and I truly empathize with you. I would give you a big hug if I could.

My guess is that Greg is a carrier of a pathogen. Sometimes, rabbits can be carrying a disease in their system even though the disease isn't active and the bunny isn't showing any symptoms. However, other bunnies can then contract the disease with just being in contact with Greg, or if it is an air-born disease then even being in the same general vicinity.

I recommend that you take Greg in for screening to a rabbit savy vet. You can find listings on rabbit.org for Canada, the US and beyond.

What was the rabbit doing prior to her death? Did she have any white mucous coming from her eyes? Was she sneezing? Did she slowly stop eating? If you give me more detail then I may be able to help narrow down what it is. Has Greg ever been treated for a disease or condition when he was sick? If so, what were his symptoms and diagnosis?

Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
