"He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said; "Look! I am making all things NEW................"

Brittany,
You were so full of life and I could always go to you for a great laugh. You were so funny and I still can't believe you are gone. You will live on through all of us in our memories and the times we shared with you. I'll see you again one day, my friend.

Evelyn and Bruce, I had not met Brittany personally just through stories from Evelyn. I know that with parents like you both, she was a wonderful person. The memories you have made will carry you through. Memories last forever. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers today and always.

Brittnay
I am pretty sad that our paths only crossed one time. But I'm also glad that you were having the time of your life working and playing at the great Indian Mountain where the hospitality is real and the people there are genuine. The "younger generation" of our Arctec team was happy to finally have a female comrade from their age group who could keep up with them, often pass them and keep them wondering just how much adventure you were capable of exploring. You were truely a breath of fresh air to all who were lucky enough to get to know you.
Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with us. You will not be forgotten and hopefully your presence in our world will teach many of us to practice your passion for life and adventure.
Wishing peace in the hearts of all family and friends.

Brittany! I could never begin to say enough good things about you! You're service was beautiful, and I know you were looking down from heaven at all of your friends and family gathered today. I am so glad that I was able to of had the chance to call you my friend and enjoy our memories from 7th grade and beyond. I will miss you greatly and never ever forget about you! You thought me many things in life and the most important one being to be yourself and never be concerned with what others thought of you as long as you were doing good in your own life. I am so proud of the person you became! Anyone who had the chance to know you has been blessed. God received a wonderful angel on May 26th and I am pretty envious of him. I know we will meet again and I look forward to that day greatly! God bless you Brittany Conklin! May God be with all of your family and friends during their time of grief! I love and miss you more than you will ever know! My prayers will be with you and your family!

I will miss Brittany. She was always happy and was a very enthusiastic worker who was always willing to give 100% in work and when fun was happening like riding snow machines or 4 wheelers. She will be missed. Prayers to her family and God be with Brittany.

She will be truely missed at Arctec. My prayers and blessings go out to her family and loved ones. May God bless you in this time of sorrow.

Brittany! Your vivacious spirit will be greatly missed! It amazes me how you took time out of your schedule to maintain contact with family thousands of miles away. You always had some cheerful remark about life and I enjoyed this past year via Facebook getting to know you even better than previously- Your love for life was evident in everything you did! You will be greatly missed! Rest In Peace!!

I never really knew Brittany. I was lucky enough to meet her when Mr. Hageman gave her and a few other "newbies" a tour of our Operations Control Center. I remember being impressed with Brittany's friendly smile and warm handshake. Several weeks ago I was collecting donations for one of our retiring travel agents and though Brittany was still fairly new to the company, she sent me a handsome contribution. At the time she was out on one of the sites but she ensured that I received her donation via friendly email and bank transfer. I thought to myself, "what an incredible young woman". "So friendly and down to earth". I only got to see a small glimpse of Brittany and I only wish I'd gotten the chance to know her more. God bless her and her family during this very sad time,

Thank you Brittany for sharing a small piece of your life with us. Though I never met you it is clear you loved life, other people and the responsibility of your job supporting this great nation. I "love" your last Facebook entry. I have a daughter the same age as you and I pray for you all the good things I pray for her. God bless you and your family. Buzz
