Cheyenne Broswell
Cheyenne Skylar Broswell, 9, of Yucaipa, died at home March 16, 2009, from brainstem glioma. She was born March 13, 2000. When she was diagnosed in December 2006, she was told she had only three weeks to live. Undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital of Orange County, she outlived her prognosis by more than two years. The family participates yearly in the Chino Hills Boat Parade, a favorite activity of Cheyenne's. The past two years their "boat floats" have been themed around Cheyenne, and this year won the Mayor's Choice Award.

Selling her drawings door-to-door and earning money by cleaning, Cheyenne purchased toys for other children undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital of Orange County and often baked cookies or cupcakes for her doctors and nurses on appointment days.

She is survived by her mother, Virginia Broswell; sisters, Jordhan, Regan and Devinlee; and grandparents, Craig and Debra Broswell of Chino Hills.
