'We were all devastated. It was very devastating,' Tiffany Sanchez said of her sister's death.
Tiffany remembered her little sister as someone who tried to provide the best life for her children, but a fatal car crash cut that life short.
'It's really hard because she had so much life to live, and she brought a lot of laughter to the house. She joked a lot. To think about her kids not having their mom,' Sanchez said.
According to the North Las Vegas Police Department, Brittany was ejected from the vehicle, and a passenger in that car was taken to the hospital.
Tiffany told 8 News Now she is taking care of her sister's children for the moment, but it has been far from easy. The children ask about their mom.
'She would make me laugh. She would play with us,' 8-year-old Nesta said of her mother.
8 News Now has requested a copy of the crash report from the North Las Vegas Police Department. In a release from NLVPD on the day of the crash, police said speed was a factor in the crash, which occurred when the vehicle traveled at a high rate of speed before it left the roadway and rolled over.
