Brooklyn was a tough,brave,kind,loving, courageous, beautiful young girl with big dreams.She was very athletic and had artistic talent as well. She had a smile that could light up a room and dreams to become a nurse. On June 1st, at just 14 years old Brooklyn and her family found out she had Hodgkins lymphoma. For 2 years her and her family battled this aggressive disease.Brooklyn was known for her warrior spirit... fear the warrior that fights with a smile was key to her battle. Brooklyn and her family never gave up on each other, or on God. Just a month after her 16th birthday she won her earthly battle and went to be with the lord on October 18th 2017.
