Brooklyn touched many lives in her short time here on earth; she brought us so much joy and taught us by her shining example about unconditional love, acceptance, courage & compassion. Despite her challenges she was a free spirit with a zest for life who found enjoyment in the small things and lived every day to the fullest. She loved music and dancing, and had a great sense of humour; it’s her laughter we’ll miss the most…but take comfort in the thought that she’s ‘dancing with the angels now’.
RIP Lil Missy, xxo
* as a tribute to Brooklyn her family requests that everyone attending her celebration wear something in one of her favourite colors; pink or purple.

“Perhaps they are not stars,
but rather openings in heaven
where the love of our lost ones
pours through and shines down upon us
to let us know they’re happy.”I am thinking of you all in your loss of Brooklyn.
Sincerely,
Christine

Sharon Crawley Brooklyn was such a sweet, happy little girl and everyone who met her couldn’t help but love her. I was so amazed at the progress she made under Wendy’s & Claude’s loving care, it was so evident to everyone how much they all loved each other.
Brooklyn had been thru so much in the last few months, yet she was so courageous and a real little fighter right up to the end. She was taken away far too soon, but her suffering is over and she is at peace and with her Nan.
Wendy & Claude now have their own little angel to watch over them!
I will always remember what a little sweetheart she was and will miss her!
Much love,
Auntie Sharon
