Brook'Lynn loved to make friends. She was a social butterfly at Worth County Elementary School. She was our Tik-Tok “Princess” and loved to dance, sing, and she was very artistic. Brook'lynn was loved by so many of her teachers, classmates, and friends. To know her was to love her. She most definitely left a lasting impression on so many love ones, friends, and the community of Worth County. She was absolutely genuine, outspoken, sassy, ridiculously funny and most definitely beautiful. She will continue to stay with us through memories and the laughs she forced us to endure whether we were in the mood or not. We are so proud of what Brook'Lynn accomplished in her short time on Earth. She will forever live in our hearts. Brook'lynn will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
