Brooke as an infant and little girl
From the moment she came into the world on July 22, 2008, Brooke Lynn Montoya was the object of immense love. Brooke came to live with her daddy, Josh, when she was 20 months old, and for the next three years she lived in Palm Desert or San Diego surrounded by family members who moved to the area. These included her Great-aunt Penny (Stacie’s youngest sister) and Penny’s husband, Bill, and their daughter, Kaylynn — who was a year younger than Brooke, and grew up like a kid sister to her.
Brooke’s Daddy and her Nana (Stacie) ensured she was always engaged — whether going for walks, visiting fun places like the zoo or aquarium, playing games, singing in the back seat, taking dance lessons, sampling buffets, or shopping at the mall.
