Been 19 long years since the tragic passing, and about 22-23 years since saw you last, back in Beijing. Though it was for a brief period, you made an everlasting impression. Thinking of you much.

Hi Zeynep,
Though we studied together briefly back in Beijing of 2000, every year this time I recall our times together, be it after class or clubbing in the weekend.
Knew you briefly but you left an impression.
Always in my thoughts...
Udi,

Though I knew her only briefly from our studies in Beijing, I have not forgotten her and every March I think of her. 16 years have passed already and I can still recall our good time in China. I light a candle for her here in Israel every year.

Dear Mr and Mrs Barnes,
I knew Zeyno well for a year while both of us lived in Beijing. We celebrated New Year 2003 together here in my town of London. I have only spoken with her a couple of times since then. Friendships at long-distance are hard to maintain and one always thinks that one can send an email tomorrow. I am sorry that this is not now possible. Zeyno was a wonderful free spirited person who brightened the lives of those she met. We will all miss her. May her spirt be remebered and held as an example by those that knew her, so that although she can no longer be with us her spirit may reside in our hearts.

Dear Barnes Family:
I had the pleasure of having lunch with David and Zeynep. It was easy to recognize that she was Dave's kid because she had the same good humor and nice disposition. I struggle to find the right words of comfort and I just can't. Just know that I am always here for you!

I miss you, Zeyno. I just went through some pictures of new years 2004 at the yp in wormleysburg. I wanted to post some but we looked so silly I knew you'd be mad :) I love you and miss you lots!

Dear Crystal,
One of the best memories (there are many) I have of Zeyno does not actually include her. I remember in 8th grade you and I were managing the high school girls soccer team, and we were watching them practice. We were asking each other all those 'what if' questions and you asked me "If you could be like anyone on the team, who would you want to be like? I answered Zeyno. I asked you the same question, and your response was the same, too. Even at 14 we knew she was amazing.
I know this is such a difficult time for you, David, and Vahide. You all are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Please know that I'm here for whatever you need. I loved Zeyno and I will miss her very much.
Zeynep is 2nd from the left...we were happy to have her for 25 years.

Zeynep was one-of-a-kind who's passing will be a loss to everyone she knew...some significantly more than others. This picture is from a dinner for her 25th birthday.

I would think that in some language Zeynep means potential. I trained and worked with Zeynep at Commerce Bank. I know her to be extremely intelligent and well rounded. Her experiences abroad coupled with her professional interests made her fascinating.
Glenn Stephens
April 10, 2006
I shall never forget the excited way Zeynep looked at life, the lunches we shared with her Dad, her visits to the office and Dave and Vahide's obvious pride and interest in their daughters. Those shall always be especially inspirational for me. Her tragedy touches us all very deeply and I find strange comfort from those I wish I could more adequately comfort: the brave and noble statements of her family. I'm so sorry!
April 4, 2006
Dave, Vahide & Crystal,
We remember Zeno as a vibrant, beautiful young lady. We have fond memories of her growing up in Camp Hill. We hope you find some comfort in knowing many share in some way the loss of such a special person.

Zeyno's voice sang. "Hi Mrs. Socolow!" is what I hear vividly --the many times she called for Samantha when they were growing up together and later when they were home on college breaks. My memories go way back -- to Mrs. Wortley's Ballet Class in 1985 -- so earnest! And later making a huge wonderful mess with holiday cookies, or being goofy while cooking eggs, or laughing and watching movies, it seemed Zeyno and Samantha were always beside each other, sharing their lives like sisters. I miss her like my own daughter and will devote a garden full of sunflowers to her. When I think of Zeyno, I think of the warm bright sun that brought music into our home.

Barnes Family:
I was in shock when I heard about Zeyno, in fact, I still am. Even though we had not seen or spoken to each other in awhile, until recently, I feel a void in my life knowing that someone as special as her is gone so soon. We played soccer together when we were younger, for the Lower Dauphin Goalin' Girls. I feel very fortunate to have played with her - she always had a huge smile on her face, and was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I have such fond memories of her. Please know that your family has been in my thoughts and prayers since this tragic accident occured. She will be missed...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Barnes and Crystal - I just learned of Zeyno's death and am shocked and saddened. Zeyno was a student of mine at CH and I always enjoyed her quick mind and clever wit. You raised a wonderful young woman and she, as evidenced from the many messages, touched many lives in such a positive way. Though I know these words can be of little comfort, may the many thoughts and prayers of others help to ameliorate and sustain you in these difficult times. And may the many memories you have of Zeyno bring serenity to you. With sincere sympathy,

Barnes Family & Friends,
I was very lucky to get to know Zeyno for too short a while at Skidmore. She stood out for her style, smile, & genuine nature. All of the people and loving words on these pages are a tremendous testament to her spirit, and yet represent only a fraction of those touched by Zeyno's rich life. She will be remembered.

Dear Barnes Family,
It is with great sorrow I learned today of Zeyno's passing. I worked in the CHHS office when she was a high school student and remember her - always with a smile. I also remember sharing stories of motherhood with you, Vahide, and looking forward to your visits when you picked the girls up for appointments. We lost our son, Billy, in 2002, just before his junior year. I am well aware of the feelings surrounding you and all of those to come. Please count on me to help you in any way I can. I will contact you soon. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Barnes Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Zeyno was always a good friend to me throughout high school. We were in Chorus together, and she was always so much fun. She was a great source of wisdom beyond her years. I was always impressed with her integrity and love for people. It is obvious how many people's lives she touched. Crystal, my deepest prayers are with you as well. I also lost my oldest sister a few years ago and please know that it will be hard at first, but with time you will see how much she is still around you in everything you do. If there is one thing to take away from all this, it is to know that she was well loved by the many people she touched in her life.
My family and I are praying for you at this time.

Zeyno,
I will miss your smile and laughter that I often caught glimpses of through hearing wonderful stories from Crissy. When I first met you I knew that there was no question you were someone I was honored to have met, and someone that was rich with enthusiasm for living. So smart and full of life. Thank you for being a wonderful sister to my Crystal and a wonderful daughter to two of the best parents I have come to know...be at peace Zeyno but know you will be missed...

I don't know where to begin. I can't stop looking back at our yearbooks and remembering Zeyno. What a passion for life she had. Some of my greatest childhood memories involve Zeyno. She always had a smile on her face and a fire in her spirit. Even more recent memories of hanging out with her...so laid back and easygoing. What a magnificent person. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Barnes family.

I am so sorry for your loss. Zeyno was such a beautiful soul whose spirit and love touched all who knew her. There are so many wonderful times that I will never ever forget. My very first sleepover was shared with all of you....Zeyno kept me calm during the scary parts of the movie "The Mummy". I will always cherish all of those wonderful moments. She could never be forgotten for her energy and passion for life has rubbed off on everyone I know. My love and support are here for you......

I cannot express my grief and sadness for the loss of Zeyno. She was a unique light in this universe. I've never known anyone like her in my life. She was a dear friend of mine ever since we played soccer together as children. When she went to China I lost touch with her, and I have always regretted losing her in my life. I was so shocked and saddened when I heard the news, but I am sure she will stay with us in spirit always. I wish your family all the best. You are in my heart and prayers.

Dear Mr&Mrs Barnes and Family,
I am not sure we ever met but I knew Zeyno through her being a classmate of my daughter, Maggie, who graduated with her from CHHS.
On behalf of my wife and my daughters, I send you my deepest sympathies and prayers. We too lost a child and brother, Flynn, now just three years ago. The loss of a child is so profound, so inexpressable in its depth and its pain. I grieve for you as I write this.
If I can be of any help now or in the future, do not hesitate to call or contact me.

I can still picture Zeno in tights flying across the school stage. To lose a spirit like hers is heartbreaking. You all have the Samsels deepest sympathy. You are a good family. She was a very loved person and I hope you take comfort in that. Listening to the news is upsetting and can never capture the essense of your child, just know that those of us who know what your family is about, know what a treasure she has been to you and honor her memory. In the difficult times ahead feel free to reach out to us, we keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Peace, Allie, Don & Aaron Samsel

I first met Zeyno when she played soccer for me at Camp Hill HS. She was an unbelievable individual and a very inspiring person. Always with a smile on her face and a laugh to follow, she truly lived life to the fullest. I thank her for the time she gave and the lives she touched. In meeting her, I was then able to make connection with her family and also another fine player in her sister Crystal. I want to pass along my deepest Sympathy to the Dave, Vahide, and Crystal and let you know that I will be thinking of you in these difficult times.
