My deepest condolences to the Bennett and Reeves family. Ms. Bennett taught me at Virginia Collage of Birmingham. She was is a beautiful soul that lights up a room with her smile and energy each and every day. The was a true leader and wonderful person inside and out... RIP Mrs. Reeves.... You will forever be thought of and missed always-Michelle Miller

I had the pleasure of working with SSG Reeves at the PDA, Fort Sam Houston. One of my fondest memories is our sharing of hairstyles and stylist info via texts to ensure we stayed within military regulations. Of course, the sharing of hairstyles led to brief discussions on kids and food. SSG Reeves was truly a ray of sunshine...she will be truly missed. COL Patricia A. Hull

With our deepest sympathy we will miss you so much cousin you will always be in our hearts ๐Ÿ’• love always Lisa Gilliam

Sending my condolences to the Reeves/Bennett family. SFC Reeves always had a smile on her face. She was one of the kindest, thoughtful and humble souls that I had the Honor and pleasure to work with. I will always remember your smile and how you made my day every time I was blessed to have a conversation with you. Thank you Hattie. Sincerely Mr. Washington, Edward

Hattie was a light that seemed to shine brighter than the sun. She never seemed to have a bad day, always cheerful, always friendly. Every room she walked into she led with a smile and that smile was contagious. I could never have a bad day when Hattie was in the office with us. Looking back it seems she new a secret, an obvious one that is right in front of us, although we often overlook it. It seems she knew to live each day to the fullest, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

It's understandable, for anyone who knew her to feel pain from her passing. I find it hard to understand why such a brilliant person, wife, daughter, mother, Soldier, would leave us so soon. But I do know that she would not want anyone to suffer for her passing. She would not want anyone to fall in to depression or make reckless choices or show biterness to others just because she left us. I think she would want us to carry on, to smile when we remember her. Although we might have a hard time to match the brightness of her smile, she would want us to try.

Sending my deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. May God give you peace during this difficult season. ~ Crystal Nelson

My sister/cousin forever..We were two peas in a pod..I'm gonna miss you! Forever in my heart๐Ÿ’”Nikki

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched โ€“ they must be felt with the heart. Hattie we all feel you in our hearts.

Condolence to my cousin Rosie Mae for her loss of her one and only lovely daughter. She was so wonderful she was always smiling a wonderful person to meet if anyone knew Hattie as her Granny would call her (Kisser) was so sweet and her laugh made me laugh too. She'll be very much missed. We as a family should come together more not just to Morn a family member passing. Love you'll and ๐Ÿ™ praying for the family. Cousin Shirley

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
