I've just learned of Brenna's death. We knew each other about 20 years ago. Her beautiful and playful spirit have been remembered by me often over the years.

Brenna will be so missed. I am saddened by her passing. I met her in June 2011 when she adopted NutterButter from my rescue (Little Nuggets Rescue). She even sent one of her clients to me for another adoption. We have stayed in touch periodically through Facebook. Tonight, I checked in on her and saw the news. My heart is broken! Peace be with you! <3

Someone very special was needed at the entrance to The Rainbow Bridge; Dr. Segal was called for the job. She is there showing comfort and compassion for all those who arrive and are lost. Her work will continue at The Rainbow Bridge and she will never be forgotten.

Brenna, we had known each other for fourteen years. You introduced me to many things. I got to come down to Atlanta and stay with you during Pride. I remember you talking me into doing the Digging Dykes for Decatur... a memory I shall treasure. Hiking was a must when you came to visit... I cannot believe you are gone. I treasure the fact that I had the chance to meet the most kind hearted soul, whose only passion was for animals. You have touched many lives, although your bright spirit soared from this Earth too soon. Left for all who knew you are touched by your infectious love for animals.... I miss you, my friend; however, I shall keep memories of your inner zest for living in the moment... all my love, friend. May you Rest in Peace. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Most times I met Dr. Segal I was in my own state of emotion dealing with illness, seizures, or worse with my kitties- especially Muffin. Her kindness, compassion, patience and reassurance can't be measured. I am so deeply saddened by this news.....and hope that she is in peace surrounded by loved ones- both human and furry. Prayers to her family, and the staff at the clinic at this most difficult time.

May 26, 2016

Dr. Segal, gone much too soon. Thank you for taking such good care of the cats that have come into my life since you took over the Cat Clinic of Cobb. You will be sorely missed by all the lives you touched, both human and feline. I'll miss seeing your little red car with the cats on it on my way home from work every day. My deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of Dr. Segal.

Its hard to find the right words, my sympathy and thoughts go out to family and friends. I am very saddened by the loss. I helped Dr. Brenna buy the Cat Clinic of Cobb a few years ago. She was also a student of mine at UGA CVM. I know her staff and clients will miss her.
