I just found out Brooke passed away. She was an amazing, smart person. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. RIP

When the first movie about Brooke was on TV I thought, "This is an amazing person, I can only hope to be just as amazing myself." I am deeply saddened in the loss of Brooke and send my condolences to her whole family.

I recently learned about Brooke Ellison and watched a movie documentary about her plus, thought it was really cool and interesting movie about her. Plus, even though I didn´t know her personally but, I know she inspired a million people all over the world. I will never forget the inspiring lady who she became and I will keep her family and friends in my prayers during this time

It´s a shame there aren´t more people like Brooke out there, to fight for our rights & equality. But I´m glad that she was able to touch many hearts & help many others in similar situations.

I went to Murphy and Ward Melville with Brooke. I remember seeing her in the hallways with her mom every day. I had broken my arm and instead of walking up the stairs i was allowed to use the elevator during that time and would get to chat with her quickly during that time.

You have accomplished more than so many of us could have ever...

I saw Brooke´s story on Sunday Today. This jaw dropping tribute to this determined woman was inspiring and heartwarming. She contributed so much to the world that will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace, Brooke

I had never heard Brooke´s story till this morning on the Willy Geist show. I am in awe of this brave, brilliant woman. Her achievements in light of her disabilities will stay with me forever. I will think of her when I face what I think are impossible odds and hopefully push forward. A hero for sure... I am sorry for this enormous loss for those who loved and were inspired by her.

Such an amazing activist and author and overall staunch supporter of the rights of the disabled. Sincere condolences to the Ellison family, truly sorry for your loss. May God help you all as you go through this very difficult time.
