An autopsy is currently underway to determine what caused Gracelyn’s tragic passing.

This heartbreaking loss is the third time Vicky Lynn Hutcherson, Gracelyn’s mother, has had to say goodbye to a child in just a few short years — a level of pain no parent should ever have to endure.

In the wake of this unimaginable sorrow, Gracelyn’s school and the surrounding community have come together, offering their support, love, and prayers to help lift the grieving family.

Though her time was far too short, Gracelyn’s light continues to shine in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Rest peacefully, sweet Gracelyn. You are deeply missed.
