Speaking of Gracie-Ann's death, they said: "I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that she’s gone; it’s hard to believe.
"She was so young. She had a bright future ahead of her."
Gracie-Ann "was such a wonderful child."
The family are understandably "lost for words" after the harrowing loss.
"How she was returning from a birthday party and all of a sudden she’s gone," their cousin asked.
They said Gracie-Ann was wonderful and creative and a joy to be around.
Gracie-Ann and Jayden were travelling back from a birthday party with their parents when the accident occurred.
The van driver, 41-year-old Martin Newman, appeared in court this week.
He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
He has also been charged with two offenses of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Mr. Newman will appear in court again on February 21st.
