Brooklyn was fiercely passionate about the people in her life as was evidenced by the time and detailed attention she gave everyone. Her outgoing, fun loving personality influenced everyone around her for good. Brooklyn, a free spirit, found peace and calm by being in the sunshine and by the beach.
