VERY SAD NEWS, From Brooke's Facebook page (posted by her brother), on February 4, 2024:
Saying Goodbye -
It is with great sadness that we, the Ellison family, share the news of the passing of our cherished Brooke. She lived an extraordinary life and the world lost a truly incredible person today.
Her friends and family were everything to her, and we want to say goodbye to all of you on her behalf. To quote Brooke herself, "My friends and family have made my life and all of the events in it either more bearable when they were difficult or more beautiful when they were not. I love you more than I can quantify or, despite my love for words, could ever fully articulate."
Details regarding funeral and memorial arrangements will follow in the days ahead.
