Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite computer games as a child was Ecoquest: The Search for Cetus, where Brittany voiced Delphineus the dolphin. I felt like she was a friend even though I didn't know her, and I wish I could have met her when she was alive so I could have told her how much I liked the game. I hope she's in a better place now.

In loving memory. May her light shine bigger and brighter then all the rest.

Benov Family ~ So sorry for your loss. There are no words that anyone can say to make things easier. I just want to send my thoughts and prayers your way for Miss Brittany. I will always cherish those memories closest to me from our "pageant years"! She was one of my closest pageant sisters. I will miss her! Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love ~ Tiff

Brittany-
She was a lovely girl. I had the pleasure of cheering with her at RHS for the time she was there. I remember one cold day she invited us into her moms RV while we waited for practice at the school. She was the most flexible and talented girl in our squad. She was always cheerful and smiling. I will always remember her kindness. I apologize for the late entrie I did not find out about her passing until yesterday. I can understand the family's pain. I lost my father January...

My mom reaches me at work one day to tell me that "some girl" I went to school with had passed away. As soon as she told me the name, I was shocked- people your age aren't supposed to be in the obituaries. When I read the obit at home, I was even more shocked to see that it was mental illness that led up to everything. Even though we had gone to Computech together and had a few mutual friends, we never actually knew each other...yet the loss saddens me. I know she'll be missed by everyone she...

DEAR BENOV FAMILY, WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO SEND OUR CONDOLENCES TO YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. WITH SYMPATHY, PAUL, LINDA, JOSH AND ERIN HEATH

My deepest sympathies to Brittany's family and close friends.

I had the great pleasure of dancing with Brittany at Fig Garden Dance Studio in Studio 3 and I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. She was a very sweet girl and I remember having fun with her at reharsals. Whenever she took the stage to sing or dance she electrified it with her talent. She will be missed by many for sure. My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

Dearest Benov Family,

When I first heard about Britt I couldn't believe it and my heart sank immediately. When I started at Forkner Britt was one of the first people to welcome me and take me in as a friend. Then again when I started at Computech she was there to welcome me to a new school once again. She would always smile with that beautiful smile of hers and extend her hand of friendship to me and that is something I will never forget. Over the years I would run into Britt...

My deepest sympathies to the Benov family.

I only knew Britt for a short while from Forkner, and at the age of eleven and twelve you knew she was going to be a star. I remember doing talent shows with her at Forkner, and her helping me with my tap routines. Britt was meant to touch peoples lives and thats what she did. I only knew her for a short time, but she made an impression that will last forever.
