I read about this beautiful young woman and her baby today, through a post on Facebook. It is Mother's Day 2013. Fitting. To her family & friends: May you have God's peace and comfort, until you meet in Heaven.

Robin,
Words can't express my sadness and shock for the loss of Brittany and your grandson little "Zeke". I have two daughters and can't imagine what you must be going through. Words are little comfort to you at this time, but I want you to know that we all love you and are keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers. Love Rhonda, Heather and Lauren Cooper

Brittany was a lovely lady and a sweet friend in college. We traveled to Australia together and I will cherish those memories even more now with a grateful heart to have known such a beautiful, caring, funloving and thoughtful friend. Praise the Lord that she and little Zeke are safe in the Everlasting Arms or our Heavenly Father. And to the family and friends that are mourning her deeply still, please know that you are in my prayers and I am joining in asking God to bring justice and closure, and to bring peace and comfort to you. "For we know that in all things, He works together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." With heartfelt love and compassion, Valarie

My beautiful friend. When I had the worst days of my life, all you had to do was smile. So glad I got to see you before you left us. Those last memories are what I will hold on to until I see you again. It's better to hold baby boy in heaven, than here when you don't have to suffer.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I did not know Brittany and only she knew "Zeke", but felt like I did because of all the wonderful things that her family and friends said about her. Her smile says a lot. God will give you strength if you let him. There will come a time when you and your family will remember the good things and funny things that Brittany either said or did which will comfort you. Bless you, your family, and friends of Brittany.

brittany and i spent many many days at the boys and girls club talking about what we were going to do when we grew up. i looked forward to seeing her everyday and anxiously waited for her to get off the bus so we could hang out and practice our cheerleading. Lol. we lost contact over the years but i have nothing but fond memories of her and her beautiful smile. i love you brittany and baby zeke. two lives taken away from us way to soon. although i know she is walking with our heavenly father now, its still never easy to mourn the loss of a friend or loved one. i will continue to pray for peace, comfort, and justice for her loving family. love you all!!

May you guys and your family always be in our hearts.

I had the pleasure of knowing Brittany for many years at Chilhowee Hills when I worked on staff at the church in the student ministry. She was indeed a beautiful young lady with an infectious personality, and a love for life. She will be missed greatly. I hope you take comfort in the fact that she and Ezekiel are now safe in the arms of Jesus. I will continue to pray for your family and a peace that passes all understanding.

Brittany, I'll never forget our instant bond in middle school after seeing the movie "Superstar." Since then, we grew up together sharing so many memories through all the waves our lives brought. You were such an influence in who I am today and I am so grateful to have been close friends with you for the majority of my life. When I think of you, I remember your contagious laugh-- how you used to laugh until you cried. Tonight my tears are in rememberance of your precious soul and your sweet baby Zeke who we never got to meet. All of my love and sorrows for this tragic loss go out to family and friends.

I'm overwhelmed with sadness, but I will never forget our memories. Back in the third grade, it would have been hard to imagine the women we would become, but even then, it was clear that the world was a better place for having you in it. Now, we have lost an amazing woman, but gained an angel. I am a better person for having you looking down on me, and will see you again someday. Love you very much, Britt.
