Bubble release for gunned down Sheffield mum will be held at Ponderosa Park
“She lit up every room she walked into and was loved deeply by everyone”
A bubble release in memory of gunned down Sheffield mum Shanice Brookes will be held this weekend at Ponderosa Park.
Attendees are asked to bring a bottle of bubbles rather than balloons in keeping with the nature and animal-lover’s concern for the environment.

The 30-year-old mother died after a shooting on West Street in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday.
She is thought to have been an “innocent bystander” to an altercation and was simply enjoying a night out in Sheffield city centre over the long weekend when she died.
In a Gofundme campaign to pay for funeral costs Shanice is described as having the “biggest heart, the most infectious humour, and a beautiful soul that touched so many people”.
The post added: “She lit up every room she walked into and was loved deeply by everyone lucky enough to know her. “
Another tribute from the city’s Steelpointe Theatre Arts, where Shanice supported young people and shows, described her as having an “infectious” laugh.
The company wrote on Facebook: “She had a massive impact on our dance community from chaperoning to lots of behind the scenes things that she did for us.
“Shanice brought so much love, passion and commitment into all that she did, she had an energy that would light up the room. “
Shanice’s bubble release will take place between 2pm and 4pm on Saturday (June 6).
