I believe that God brings certain people together in life for a reason. In a way I feel like God wanted me to meet Brittney and become friends with her because she had so much to teach me. I'm truely greatful for my friendship with her and know I'll never forget her. There were several things I always admired about Brittney. She was always completely honest, she said things how she saw them, and she is the strongest person I have ever met. She was always herself and didn't care what people thought about her. Those were just a few of the qualities about her that always amazed me. Through all the times we spent together I'll never forget the times we laughed until we cried and danced to our favorite music. Those good times still bring a smile to my face. Brittney Michelle Zenner will always hold a place in my heart.

Mrs. and Mr. Zenner,
I am so sorry to hear about Brittney. When I found out I just started crying. Brittney was an amazing person and truly gifted. She's always been a good person and did everything she could to help everyone she knew and didn't know. You should be proud of her. And she will always be in my memories.

Mr. and Mrs. Zenner,
Brittney was a great friend and companion since i met her freshman year. She has always had a positive attitude and i know she will be greatly missed by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her. She never judged people and had an open mind about everything. You truly did raise an angel.

Dear Al & Audrey,
Words cannot express the sadness in our hearts over your loss. Brittney was a very special young lady who brought so much joy to every life she touched. I especially loved her laugh and can remember many times when she was at my house and I could hear her and Melissa laughing upstairs and it would make me smile. No matter what she was dealing with in her life she always had a smile on her face. She truly was one of the bravest people I have ever known.
I truly believe with all my heart that she is now an angel with God and will be with you forever in your hearts and souls.
Please give a special hug to Mishu as I am sure he is missing her also.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
Love,
Sabrina, Melissa and Eric Feinberg

Its difficult to find any words that would adequately describe the sorrow I feel with Brittney's passing. Audrey & Al, Esther, Betty, and your loving families, please accept my most heartfelt condolences. Forgive me also, as I was absent for Brittney's memorial service last Tuesday. Out of this profound grief we all share with you, the celebration of a beautiful life lived, was experienced by the many family members and friends who knew and loved Brittney. Though it seems unfair that her time with us was short, Brittney lived a remarkable life, that set an amazing example for all of us to follow. My admiration and respect for this bright and courageous young lady will forever remain in my thoughts.
With sympathy and love,
Steve Rich

Brittney was the most amazing person. She was always incredibly optimistic in the face of everything she struggled through. She always looked at the best side of everything and everyone. I'm truly grateful I was able to know her for as long as I did, and I'm really going to miss her. I know I'll never forget her, and I'm sure she's watching over all of us now. My sincerest condolences.
