  1. Chris,
    You and Brittany are very special to Pam and I. We are here for you and continue to pray!
    We love you
    Chris and Pam Ledford & family

  2. My Brittany! 💗 This feels so unreal to be commenting on your obituary. I’m really heartbroken that this happened to you. My friend, more like my family! I’ve been knowing you for 9 years and you were the sweetest person with the best intentions. I mourn you daily and I wish things would’ve turned out differently for you. Praying for your parents cause I know you loved them beyond life itself as you always talked about them. I love you unconditionally and I’m praying for your entire family 🐝

  3. Brittany, I am so shocked and saddened that you are gone. I have known you since you started at Zen and I knew just from that brief meeting, what a sweet, special soul you were. I followed you when you opened your own business. Hands down the best waxes & facials I ever had. Even after leaving Asheville 2 years ago, I still only came to you for waxing when I visited Asheville. You were always asking about my daughter and life and always had the nicest things to say. You were funny, bright and so special to so many. I will miss seeing you when I come to town, our chats, etc. I will be praying for your family, husband and your sweet puppies. Rest in Peace sweet friend.

  4. Brittany my beautiful daughter❤️ We all miss you more than you’ll ever know. You were a shining star, a beautiful bright soul and so full of life! I was always proud of you for turning your life around, opening your own business and always treating people with kindness. We will forever miss you and keep you close to our hearts❤️ May you rest in peace🙏 Love you lots, your family

  5. My sweet Brittany! I’m gonna miss you more than you know girl! My one and only wax lady!! I will forever cherish all these years of our time together! Thank you for always creating the safest space to say anything! You are such a joy and light in this world! Still doesn’t feel real girl. I love you! And going to miss you forever!

  6. I am so sad that you are no longer around. You were a beautiful person and I loved being around you. I hope you are resting in peace. I think about you often.

  7. Brittany, my beautiful cousin. So many amazing memories we all shared together growing up. Gran & Grandpas house for Christmas, picking eggs in their backyard on Easter, and us telling every kid at the country club we were sisters like Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen lol. You were always a shining star in this world and I will cherish every moment we had together. I love you to the moon and back. ♥️

  8. Brittany, my one and only esthetician. I met u 6 years ago when I moved to Asheville. I then followed u from Zen to your business. I always thought this girl is bigger than life itself. So beautiful on the inside and out. U were the best of the best and I really don’t know what to do without u. I want u to know that I am so glad God allowed our paths to cross. Never in a million years did I think my last time I saw u would be my very last. I want u to know that I love u and will miss u forever. The world is darker with u not in it. RIP beautiful

  9. Brittany, I may have met you as an esthetician at Zen, but you quickly became my friend. I enjoyed our conversations, it felt like therapy for us both. I enjoyed going out to eat, working out, and just having you in my life. You are missed and will never be forgotten.

  10. My Beautiful Friend Brittany. I am so devastated that you are not here. That I can not see you, talk to you, be the best friend I can be for you. I loved you so much. You were like a daughter. I never saw this coming. The tears will never stop. I know I am selfish you are not here present to share more adventures. God has taken you and I am grateful you are in “His” hands. I Love You. Marianne

  11. The angels shed their feathers this March—
    Soft rain; the skin of stars,
    White light illuminates at large,
    My beautiful sister,
    May you scintillate unmarred,
    Your aura on an angel card,
    For you, my darling, were an amalgamation of life and art;
    A loving soul with a heavenly heart.

    Brittany, my beautiful sister, the simplicity of your obituary does not come close to capturing the magnitude of your essence, nor does the short poem I have struggled to compose in your honor. The truth is, you were magnificently magnetic; a loving girl who saved herself from the depths of hell to cultivate an astounding life full of promise. You blessed so many with a charm and charisma that came naturally to you because you carried the soul of an angel. You were a fighter; a free-spirited force of nature who encouraged others to find the same strength within themselves. It was an honor to call you my sister, to be on this spiritual journey with you and watch you grow into the woman I always knew you would be. We had so many dreams together, from starting our own families, to having children, to raising them with the same kind-hearted compassion our own parents instilled into us. You always wanted to share your story, to guide others from the depths of darkness and bring them back into the light. Brittany, you were always the light, and I promise to never let your beautiful, bright, beatific soul ever be dimmed. I will celebrate you in all your glory, I will forever share the prayer of your story, for all eternity. Brittany, I love you, with every ounce of blood in my being, with every chorus the angels seraphically sing.

    Your sister, Nichole. 🕊️✨💫

  12. My little girl..I will miss your phone calls that always ended with I love you’s..I’ll miss our shopping together and all those rounds of golf when I couldn’t take my eyes off your beautiful swing.. but most of all will miss your beautiful smile, your energy and your determination to get things done. You were always confident about what you wanted to accomplish and were excited to go for it. I’ll miss you more than you know but will always remember the loving relationship that I had with my daughter..I love you..may you rest in peace…..DAD

  13. I was so sad to hear about Brittany. To think when I saw her in February it would be my last, so terribly sad. I have known Brittany since her first days at Zen. I liked her immediately. I played golf on the same league with her for a couple years because of her encouragement. She spoke so highly of her parents and how much she loved playing golf with her dad. So happy she went and spent time with her family in December into January. I truly will miss her. I can’t believe it.
