Gracia Lorraine Hunt

Gracia Lorraine Hunt, age 82 days, left us to be with the Lord on October 23rd, 2012 ending her gallant battle with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. She was so loved in her short life by her mother, Becky Hunt and father, Shawn Hunt of Lake Elmo, MN to whom she was born on August 2nd, 2012. In her short life, our beautiful Gracie brought joy and love to her parents and all the nurses and doctors that cared for her at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. Although she never left those walls in this life, she knew love; deep love. She gave that love back in her constant gaze into her mother's eyes. Gracie inspired and gave us all hope and confidence in her fight against the many obstacles during her short stay on earth. Through many complications it seemed she couldn't get a break. The best days were the last, where she seemed strong, happy and with no setbacks. The days spent at the hospital were mostly happy days, a time for family bonding and seeing the progress she would make. Gracie loved to be sung to sleep by her Mommy and read books to by her Daddy. Bright pink was her best color and she loved to cuddle. She taught all of us about love and patience. She gave us plenty of laughs with memories and stories we'll tell for always. With the thousands of prayers sent up by so many, Gracie had a deep impact on many people. These prayers were not in vain; they strengthened and sustained her family through this difficult time and strengthened the bond among those that prayed; God's children. Could any of us ask for more of a legacy than that? Her short, but significant life will have a lasting effect. Gracie's life verse, sung to her daily by her mom: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:2-3 Gracie will be dearly missed by her mother Becky, father Shawn; grandparents Joel and Barb Heebink of Coon Rapids, MN and Brad and Becky Hunt of Monticello, MN. Aunts and uncles Brandon and Jennifer Heebink of Maple Grove, MN; Tony and Jen Hunt of Minneapolis and their two daughters Amelie and Marguerite, Ryan, Brett, Brandon and Brittany Hunt.
