"Being able to see the kids, you know, the smilies on their faces," Brown said. "I know that she would love this, I can imagine her bouncing around this room."
Jada's younger sister Jazz was only 3 years old when her sister died. She was by her mom's side for the toy giveaway.
"Jada would be very proud," Jazz said.
The toys came from corporate donations and from people in the community.
