Bridget Zinn was one of the sweetest, kindest, bravest people I’ve ever known. She was the embodiment of hope—fighting cancer, beating so many odds. Any of my problems seemed trivial when I talked with her because she never dwelled on the negative. She talked about the future. About life. And she loved life.
I’m heartbroken that the world didn’t get more of Bridget—33 is far too young to be taken. I’m heartbroken for her wonderful husband and family and friends. But I know that Bridget is watching over us now, and that even here, she is still that embodiment of hope to me. A beautiful soul. I’ll miss you, Bridget.

Also, Bridget's agent Michael Stearns has a great post with a video of Bridget that really does capture her beautiful spirit HERE.

I miss her.
I'm sorry for your loss. While I didn't know her, the spirit she left behind has been felt by many, including me. Praying for her family and friends.
So sorry to hear about your loss. My sympathies go out to you and her family *hugs*
sorry sweetie - she was awesome and will be missed.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Suzanne. Bridget sounds like a beautiful person. I didn't know her, but I admire her spirit and courage.
Sending healing thoughts your way.
I'm sorry to read of the death of Bridget Zinn. Although I didn't know her or her work, we need our writers with us for as long as possible. We will never know the great unwritten stories she departed with. However, I am glad she will live on through her works that were published. Each work published is a living legacy to Bridget Zinn. My condolences to her family and friends.
The day this announcement was posted, an odd thing happened.
While scrolling through my Favorites, my cursor stopped on the link to this blog. I was unable to remove my cursor, so I clicked the link. Reading about Bridget Zinn saddened and bothered me. Yet, I felt I was called to read this post about her. I knew I would have to come back to say a few words.
Such a tale is fine in a horror or suspense story, but in real life, it's hard to know what these mysterious moments mean. I am a fan of this Blog and its author, but don't come here as often as I once did. So, if I can give some small meaning to that moment that brought me here again, let it be this:
Especially all you ladies, but men and children too, get regular and thorough health check-ups and take good care of yourselves. Bridget Zinn was young. Too many are departing this world too young. When I left this site, two or three days later in a chatroom I learned of a father even younger than Bridget dying of a heart attack. None of us can say how long we will live, but while you are young enough to change your health habits, do so, please. You are important. Take care.
