Gracie Hunt, daughter of Chiefs owners, mourns loss of young relative killed in Texas floods
Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owners Clark and Tavia Hunt, mourned the loss of a 9-year-old relative who died in the devastating Texas floods over the weekend. Janie Hunt was one of the dozens of children at Camp Mystic who died in the floods. She was just 9 years old. Gracie Hunt posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram as devastating news continued to pour out of the county where Camp Mystic was. "Some days, it's hard to understand how the world can hold both so much beauty and so much pain. How can the same God who created the stars and set the planets in motion allow such deep suffering? The truth is, we live in a broken world – one that groans for redemption," she wrote citing a passage from Romans. "But Scripture promises that one day, Christ will make all things new – a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13). "My heart aches for our extended family and friends who lost daughters – for every life lost and every family shattered by the floods in Texas. I don't have easy answers, but I do know this: following Jesus doesn't spare us from pain – but it means we never face it alone. "Even in the darkest valleys, we hold on to the hope that this is not the end of the story." The flash floods killed more than 100 people in the state. In Kerr County, home to youth camps in the Texas Hill Country, searchers have found the bodies of 84 people, including 28 children, officials said on Monday. Ten girls and a counselor were still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic. President Donald Trump also told reporters in Morristown, New Jersey, on Sunday that he would likely be visiting Texas on Friday. "We've been in touch with Gov. Abbott and very close to Gov. Abbott. And, everybody in Texas. Kristi Noem has, as you know, been there and will continue to be there. And we're working very close with representatives from Texas," Trump said. "And it's a horrible thing that took place. Absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless the state of Texas. This incredible place."

Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt left devastated after tragic family death in Texas floods: 'My heart aches'
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt's eldest daughter Gracie has sent a heartfelt message to the people of Texas after losing a young relative in the devastating floods which swept through the state last week. Over 100 people have died after the Guadalupe River in Kerr County flooded and surged by up to 30 feet above its usual water level in the early hours of July 4, with a total of 84 bodies recovered at the time of writing - including 28 children. On Monday the operators of Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian summer camp in the Texas Hill Country, announced they have lost 27 campers and counselors to the floodwaters. Kerr County officials added that 10 campers and one counselor have still not been found. Amid the heartbreaking situation in Texas, Gracie's mom, Tavia, revealed on Sunday that Janie Hunt - a young cousin in their family - was among the Camp Mystic campers who died. 'How do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all knowing and all powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen — even to children?' Tavia asked while saying the family's 'hearts are broken' for their extended family and friends who have also lost loved ones in the floods. Gracie, 26, posed a similar religious question when speaking out on the tragedy on Monday, while admitting her 'heart aches' for victims of the disaster. 'Praying for Texas,' she initially wrote on Instagram before continuing, 'Some days, it's hard to understand how the world can hold both so much beauty and so much pain. 'How can the same God who created the stars and set the planets in motion allow such deep suffering? The truth is, we live in a broken world—one that groans for redemption (Romans 8). But Scripture promises that one day, Christ will make all things new—a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:13).' She then added: 'My heart aches for our extended family and friends who lost daughters—for every life lost and every family shattered by the floods in Texas. 'I don't have easy answers, but I do know this: following Jesus doesn't spare us from pain—but it means we never face it alone. 'Even in the darkest valleys, we hold on to the hope that this is not the end of the story.' Gracie went on to quote two other inspirational passages from the Bible on 'not losing heart' and 'fearing no evil' amid moments of darkness. Over the weekend it was announced that beloved director of Camp Mystic, Richard 'Dick' Eastland, 70, died while trying to save girls as a month's worth of rain dropped in a matter of minutes. One week before the tragedy, the camp shared videos on social media of the campers happily prancing around on stage during their first term chorus and dance production. The youngest campers slept on low-laying 'flats' inside the camp's cabins, whereas older girls slept in cabins on higher ground, according to the NYT. Most of the missing girls are from the younger age bracket, who were sleeping just yards away from the banks of the Guadalupe River. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that some 750 girls had been staying at the camp when the floodwaters hit. High-school soccer coach Reece Zunker and his wife Paula were also among those who died in the devastating floods, while their two young children are still missing. With additional rain on the way, more flooding still threatened saturated parts of central Texas. Authorities said the death toll was sure to rise.

Chiefs owner's wife confirms loss in Texas floods
The wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt (pictured) has confirmed the tragic loss of a family member as a result of the devastating Texas floods. The total death toll has risen to 82 after the Guadalupe River flooded and surged by up to 30 feet above its usual water level on Friday. 68 bodies have been found, including 28 children. Clark's wife, Tavia, revealed that Janie Hunt (pictured)- a young cousin in the family - was among the Camp Mystic campers who died during the incident. Taking to Instagram, she wrote: 'Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives — including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend's little girls.' Eleven girls are missing from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, and five of their fellow campers have died after the rushing waters destroyed the all-girls private Christian summer camp. Beloved director of Camp Mystic, Richard 'Dick' Eastland, 70, died while trying to save girls as a month's worth of rain dropped in a matter of minutes. One week before the tragedy, the camp shared videos on social media of the campers happily prancing around on stage during their first term chorus and dance production. The youngest campers slept on low-laying 'flats' inside the camp's cabins, whereas older girls slept in cabins on higher ground, according to the NYT. Most of the missing girls are from the younger age bracket, who were sleeping just yards away from the banks of the Guadalupe River. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that some 750 girls had been staying at the camp when the floodwaters hit. Abbott also vowed that authorities will work around the clock as they continue to search for missing people and later declared Sunday as a day of prayer. In a statement, he said: 'I urge every Texan to join me in prayer this Sunday — for the lives lost, for those still missing, for the recovery of our communities, and for the safety of those on the front lines'. Relatives of the missing have started arriving in the Kerrville area from across the Lone Star State to provide investigators with DNA samples. The federal agency issued a flood watch on Thursday at 1:18pm, estimating up to seven inches of rain on Friday morning in South Central Texas . A flash flood warning was issued at 1:14am on Friday, with a more extreme warning coming at 4:03am, urging people to immediately evacuate to high grounds as the situation became 'extremely dangerous and life-threatening.' The estimate of the dead is vastly different than the message state officials are projecting publicly, insisting that they are still searching for people who are alive , and refusing to say rescue efforts have shifted to recovery of remains. 'Our state assets and local partners are continuing to search for live victims,' the head of TDEM W. Nim Kidd told reporters at a press conference Saturday. 'Our hope and prayer is that there is still people alive that are out there.'
