Brittany has been placed in the lives of many, where she has been a joyful inspiration and has set the tone of being a strong fighter. The simplest pleasure of life is all she ever wanted to be a part of. Being the chosen one as a Godmother to her babies, Montrey Sanders, Maurtaven “Son” Reed, La’Shiya Thomas, Nason Benoit, and Parker “Sugg” Adcock, was a great deal of joy for her and she embraced every moment with them as they brought her peace.  She is and will forever be “Baby Cakes” and “Cutie!”
