“She’s literally one of the best people ever. She’s so sweet and kind. She was so warm-hearted. When she met me, she was like the most wonderful person ever,” said Jazlynn Ramos, Breanna’s friend.
Breanna’s friends say she had the biggest smile and could light up a room when she walked in.
Diana Alvarado is one of those friends.
“Breanna was very kind. She was like the sun,” Diana told us.
Some of these friends have been by her side since sixth grade.

Her joy left an impact on her neighbors as well.
“We’re actually her neighbors. Her father called us, and he told us about everything that had happened so we’re just really sad,” said Sanchez.
Ari Sanchez has lived next to Breanna and her family for over ten years.
“I just hope they can get past this,” said Sanchez.
Breanna’s brother Rob didn’t want to talk on camera, but tells us his sister was kind, hardworking and had big dreams for her future. He said he’s incredibly proud of everything she accomplished and always prioritized the happiness of people she cared about.
“Her hugs were so warm,” said Alvarado.
