A 2nd grader from Camp Mystic is among the latest victims of the horrific Texas floods

Three newly minted second graders, including 8-year-old twin sisters from Dallas. A camp director who served as a surrogate father to the girls under his care. These are a few of the scores of victims lost in devastating flash floods in central Texas.

The flooding originated from the fast-moving waters of the Guadalupe River on Friday, killing more than 100 people. Authorities say search and rescue efforts are still underway, including for campers missing from a summer camp for girls.

Mary Grace Baker

Mary Grace Baker, who had recently celebrated her first Holy Communion, was among the victims at Camp Mystic from the flash foods, her school announced.

''Mary Grace was a bright light in our close-knit school family, known for her kindness and friendship to all, her joyful spirit and her love for her faith and family,'' St. Anne Catholic School in Beaumont said on its Facebook page. ''Her giggle was contagious, as was her spirit.''

Mary Grace had just completed second grade. The school's post described her as a ''girls' girl who loved pink sparkles and bows in her signature angelic ringlet curls.'' The school asked its community to place pink ribbons in trees in honor of Mary Grace after she went missing following the floods.

Hanna and Rebecca Lawrence

The girls had just finished second grade, their parents said.

''Hanna and Rebecca brought so much joy to us, to their big sister Harper, and to so many others,'' John and Lacy Lawrence said in a statement. ''We will find ways to keep that joy, and to continue to spread it for them. But we are devastated that the bond we shared with them, and that they shared with each other, is now frozen in time. ''

David Lawrence, the girls' grandfather and former publisher of the Miami Herald, said ''it has been an unimaginable time for all of us." He said the girls gave their family, including their sister, joy.

''They and that joy can never be forgotten,'' he said in a statement.

University Park Elementary School, where Hanna and Rebecca attended, said on its website that ''numerous'' students were in the Texas Hill Country during the flooding and had to evacuate. The school did not immediately respond to a message left Monday morning.

Reece and Paula Zunker

Reece Zunker was described as ''a passionate educator and a beloved soccer coach'' by Tivy High School in Kerrville, Texas.

''His unwavering dedication to our students, athletes, and the Tivy community touched countless lives and will never be forgotten,'' the school posted online Sunday.

Paula Zunker was a former teacher at the school. ''The care and impact she shared with her students continue to be felt, even years later,'' the post said.

The couple's young children, Lyle and Holland, were still missing, the school said.

Dick Eastland

Among the dead is Dick Eastland, the Camp Mystic director.

Paige Sumner, a former camper, described him in a column in the local paper, The Kerrville Daily Times, as ''the father figure to all of us while we were away from home.''

Sumner spent one summer working in the camp office, balancing accounts for the commissary, where campers bought snacks and other essentials like stamps. She wrote that her desk was outside Eastland's office.

''He still put campers first in every situation,'' wrote Sumner, who is now the head of philanthropy at a community center in Kerrville. ''If an issue of any kind that needed attention came over the walkie-talkie, even a camper with a minor injury or the dreaded snake in the river, he would bolt out of the office and jump in a golf cart to get there as fast as he could.''

''If he wasn't going to die of natural causes, this was the only other way, saving the girls that he so loved and cared for,'' he wrote.

In her column, Sumner noted that the camp had plans for rain.

''Usually,'' she explained, ''it means they deliver a special breakfast of sweet rolls to each cabin or singing songs in the Rec Hall. This level of flooding was unprecedented.''

In a brief telephone call as she grappled with the flood's aftermath at her own office, Sumner was reluctant to add more than she wrote in the column, saying the camp wanted privacy for the families.

''We are still holding out hope,'' she said. ''They are broken; they are in shock.''

Chloe Childress was among the counselors at Camp Mystic who died in the devasting floods. Childress, 19, ''lived a beautiful life that saturated those around her with contagious joy, unending grace, and abiding faith,'' her family said in a statement.

''Returning as a counselor to the place she loved so dearly, Chloe was looking forward to dedicating her summer days to loving and mentoring young girls at Camp Mystic,'' her family said.

Childress had just graduated from the Kinkaid School in Houston, which praised her as deeply invested in her community.

''Chloe had a remarkable way of making people feel seen. She was wise beyond her years, with a steady compassion that settled a room,'' Jonathan Eads, the head of the school, said in a letter to the school's community on Sunday. ''Whether it was sharing her own challenges to ease someone's burden or quietly cheering a teammate or classmate through a tough day, Chloe made space for others to feel safe, valued, and brave.''

Janie Hunt

Her mother, Anne Hunt, confirmed her death to CNN, while her grandmother Margaret Hunt confirmed it to The Kansas City Star.

The Chiefs franchise declined to comment. But Clark Hunt's wife, Tavia Hunt, posted on Instagram and urged people to rely on their faith.

''If your heart is broken, I assure you God is near,'' Tavia Hunt, wrote in the post. ''He is gentle with your wounds. And He is still worthy — even when your soul is struggling to believe it.

Tanya Burwick

The last time Tanya Burwick's family heard from her was a frantic phone call about the floodwaters as she headed to work at a Walmart early Friday in the San Angelo area. When Burwick didn't show up for work, her employer filed a missing persons report and sent a colleague to look for her.

''She lit up the room and had a laugh that made other people laugh,'' said Lindsey Burwick, who added that her mom was a beloved parent, grandparent and colleague to many.

She and her brother Zac said the day was especially difficult because it happened on July Fourth as they were working at a fireworks stand that's been in the family for generations. As word of Tanya Burwick's disappearance spread, people from Blackwell, a small community of about 250 people, showed up to the stand that's run out of a trailer painted orange.

''People came to our aid,'' Lindsey Burwick said.

Police in San Angelo said more than 12,000 houses, barns and other buildings have been affected by the floods in the community of roughly 100,000 people.

''We ask that the public continue to keep the Burwick family in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this heartbreaking tragedy," the San Angelo Police Department said in a Facebook post.

Jane Ragsdale, 68, devoted her life to the Heart O'the Hills Camp, a summer camp for girls in Texas Hill Country. She was a camper and counselor there herself in the 1970s before becoming a co-owner. By the 1980s, she was director of the camp in Hunt.

''She was the heart of The Heart,'' the camp said in a statement. ''She was our guiding light, our example, and our safe place. She had the rare gift of making every person feel seen, loved, and important.''

Since the camp was between sessions, no children were staying there when the floodwaters rose. The camp's facilities, directly in the path of the flood, were extensively damaged and access to the site remained difficult, according to camp officials. The camp has been in existence since the 1950s.

Camp officials said Ragsdale would be remembered for her strength and wisdom.

''We are heartbroken. But above all, we are grateful,'' the camp said. ''Grateful to have known her, to have learned from her, and to carry her light forward.''

''I loved every minute of camp from the first time I stepped foot in one,'' she recalled.

Videos of Ragsdale strumming a guitar and singing to campers during a recent session were posted in a memorial on the camp's Facebook page: ''Life is good today. So keep singing 'til we meet, again.''

Sarah Marsh

Eight-year-old Sarah Marsh from Alabama had been attending Camp Mystic in Texas, a longtime Christian girls camp in Hunt where several others were killed in the floods. As of Sunday, afternoon, 11 children were still missing.

Marsh was a student at Cherokee Bend Elementary in suburban Birmingham.

He said the community — where about 20,000 people reside — would rally behind the Marsh family as they grieved.

Her parents declined an interview request Sunday ''as they mourn this unbearable loss,'' the girl's grandmother, Debbie Ford Marsh, told The Associated Press in an email.

''We will always feel blessed to have had this beautiful spunky ray of light in our lives. She will live on in our hearts forever!'' Marsh wrote on Facebook. ''We love you so much, sweet Sarah!''

She declined further comment.

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama also noted the girl's tragic death.

Blair and Brooke Harber

Sisters Blair and Brooke Harber, both students at St. Rita Catholic School in Dallas, had been staying alongside the Guadalupe River when their cabin was swept away, according to the school.

Pastor Joshua J. Whitfield of St. Rita Catholic Community, which shares a campus with the school, said the girls' parents, Annie and RJ Harber, were staying in a different cabin and were safe. However, their grandparents were unaccounted for. Annie Harber has been a longtime teacher at the school.

''This tragedy has touched every corner of our hearts,'' the church said in a statement Sunday.

Blair, who was enrolled in advanced classes, was involved in numerous school activities from volleyball and basketball to speech and drama. Brooke was a rising sixth grader and a student athlete in volleyball and lacrosse, among other sports. She also participated in speech and drama, according to the church.

''We will honor Blair and Brooke's lives, the light they shared, and the joy they brought to everyone who knew them,'' Whitfield wrote in a Saturday letter to parishioners. ''And we will surround Annie, RJ, and their extended family with the strength and support of our St. Rita community.''

The church held a special prayer service Saturday afternoon and offered counseling.

''Please keep the Harber family in your prayers during this time of profound grief,'' Whitfield wrote. ''May our faith, our love, and our St. Rita community be a source of strength and comfort in the days ahead.''
