Ballwin's Kyndall Brown Survives Through Others

Ballwin-Ellisville, MO Patch | Chase Castle

A 17-month-old from Ballwin who died in a tragic household mishap offers new life thanks to the enduring efforts of the young girl's family and their aid with organ donors.

The family of a Ballwin toddler met with friends and loved ones Sunday to do holiday decorating, but the centerpiece wasn't a Christmas tree or outdoor lights for a home. Instead, it was an opportunity for the family honor their daughter, Kyndall Brown, who died at 17-months in 2003 after choking on lunch at her sitter's home.

“She never regained consciousness,” said Kyndall’s mother, Jennifer Brown, 37. “We waited and hoped for two full days at the hospital before they pronounced her brain dead.

She looked at me and gave me a hug and said ‘I love you too, momma.'”
