   I don’t know where to begin only to say I wish life didn’t end so early for you. My dear sweet and loving friend who saw life with her heart and with loving eyes. I will miss your energy and sense of humor. The laughter and giggles we shared at the judges table, your amazing appetite for food and your words of encouragement whenever I felt guilt eating all the cake with you saying “there is nothing wrong with eating” and “don’t feel guilty and just enjoy it!” Your training tips you gave me is still so precious to me cause I know you thought out my program based on my need. Your commitment to judging you took very seriously, seeing you first hand painstakingly take notes on each competitor, taking time to give your critique, and spotting out a potential future pros.

   I kicked myself for not keeping contact with you after I moved on to judge cause I know you were a true loving and caring friend, this is the first thing I thought after hearing news of your passing. My heart still aches for our friendship and I miss our talks. Thank you for your heart, your loving soul, your smile, the laughs, and the friendship… I will forever miss you and cherish our time. Gone too soon…Aloha oi’ – Love until we meet again!

   I comment here for all of us at The Village that knew and loved Zhanna for the wonderful light she was in our lives. So full of love, energy and kindness. Her passing is incredibly painful and there is not a day that goes by without me thinking about her, missing her and talking about her with my wife and my teenage daughter, who Zhanna helped on so many occasions. Zhanna will be missed forever but she will also be in our hearts, minds and souls as an inspiration and guiding light of life well lived and well appreciated.

   We miss you sweet angel and we will never ever forget you.
   Now can you please kick ass in Heaven and make sure they stay in shape there too.
   Love from all of use here my darling and wishing you eternal peace.

   A tragic and sudden loss to all that called Zhanna a friend, companion and inspiration.
   May you now rest in peace and merge with the omniscient spirit

   Zhanna had a unique ability to make us competitors not feel judged, but admired. Seeing her warm, reassuring smile from the stage always made me feel so good about myself regardless of my placing. In those moments she poured confidence into me. When I look back on my competition days, I’ll always remember her smile.

   I had the privilege of speaking to her after the Masters USA show and letting her know how good she always made me feel on stage and thanking her for that. She immediately gave me a big hug and spoke words of encouragement to me.

   While I did not have the honor of knowing her personally, these moments I had with her will be treasured.
