Amazing Grace Bunke passes away after brave battle against cancer

Grace Bunke would have turned 15 on Monday.

Amazing Grace Bunke’s impact on so many lives will live on forever.

Her mom, Vicki Bunke, has shared that on this Palm Sunday, “Grace departed her earthly home for her eternal one.”

“Because today, love and joy and peace, but mostly GRACE won. Death did not. Nor will it ever. Through our tears, we will continue to remind one another what Grace’s incredibly beautiful life taught each of us...that love and faith and hope have no finish line. Nor will it ever.” (Story continues below gallery.)

She would have turned 15 on Monday. She had been battling osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer for more than two years.
