I will miss our weekly talks and daily text !
Thanks for the educational support you gave me when I was a teen. May your Huge Heart rest in eternal peace.
You were an inspiration to many! I will miss our weekly texting, especially after Kip passed away. You were a valuable connection to him that I cherished beyond words. I will miss you terribly.
Bonnie was my teaching colleague. She kindly shared her wisdom and experience with me which I appreciate. We had the opportunity to take several work-related trips together. I fondly remember those occasions. I will miss Bonnie’s presence in this world and send my sincere condolences to her family.
We love you Bonnir,
you will be greatly missed.
Love

I will miss all of the roles in played in my life: my 2nd mom, sister, friend, and confidant. You were such an inspiration and shining example as an educator, mom, strong Black Woman, and community change agent. Thanks for teaching me how to sew my first outfit and for the continuous encouragement to always let my reach exceed my grasp. Thank you for teaching me the meaning of perseverance. Rest well and I know you and Dot will watch over all of us. Love ? You Tammy
I thought about Dr. Hatchett and decided to seek her out. I was saddened to learn that she had passed. I met Dr. Hatchett as a graduate student at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI). While there, she took me under her wing. I greatly appreciated her mentorship, as well as her generosity. She allowed me the opportunity to serve as a co-author on several of her manuscripts; as a result, I earned tenure.
Thank you Dr. Hatchett. Your support has been immeasurable.
