Huline & Lee Goodman, Sorry for the loss of your love one. Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers.

My deepest and most sincere condolences for Rheatis's family, and many friends.

I was lucky enough to get to know Rheatis when we worked together in Downtown Brooklyn. Her decades of dedication to her community are unprecedented. She had an incredibly kind heart and a knack for connecting with the people who needed it the most.

One rainy day Rheatis noticed I didn't have an umbrella. I returned to my desk after a meeting and a new umbrella was sitting there for me.

Rheatis and I met for breakfast at the local diner, and she came to my baby shower. Even after working together we stayed in touch through the holidays this year.

The advice she gave for motherhood was to really listen and pay attention to our children and their needs. I will miss her dearly.

Most of all I will her sweet voice. Her slight southern accent reminded me of my late mam, and that was a great comfort for me.

I am not surprised to see so many beautiful messages here.

All of my love to everyone who knew her.

Bethany

I am so honored to have worked alongside Rheatis. She had a quiet yet kind and strong presence and was beloved by all. I feel thankful to have known her. -Ariana Hellerman

Another link in the family chain is now missing! My cousin Rheatis and I grew up in the Jordan community where we played together as children, attended Jordan Elementary School and then on to Manning Training High school riding the bus every day into town! We were a close knit family back in the day and then we all went out separate ways after graduation. I only got to see her at family reunions and when we were in SC visiting family and friends. I never got to know her daughter or granddaughter. My heart goes out to both of you as well as her sister Lil and other family members.May the God of all comfort give peace to your soul and strength to your heart during this most difficult time. She will surely be missed by the family. Love, peace and sympathy. Your cousin Dot House-Henson and daughters, Ashley and Dana

To the Family of Sister Rheatis Brown. Sister Eugenia Gaither sends my deepest sympathies to all of her family and friends she and I have been in the same Church for 45 years plus We became friends she became like my Sister anything I needed to know I would ask her and if she did'nt have the answer she could tell me who how and where I could get it. She was a true friend in and outside the Church. She was a true Christian and one of the nicest persons you would ever want to meet I am so happy I had the pleasure of meeting her when I first came to New She and I were involved with all the committee's and running of the Church her demeanour was nice and calm everyone loved her in the Church. We were hard workers in Messiah until we both became ill and retired from our jobs. We called each other weekly to check on each other I am truly going to miss her she was like a Sister we shared so much. My dear friend Rheatis take your rest with the Master and the Angels you are very deserving of it. No more sickness and pain I. But God called you home he has more important work for you to do. I Love you my dearest friend Rheatis. Amen❤❤

Words can't really describe this particular feeling... Within times like this all you can do is hold on to memories, moments, laughs, hugs and love! With back to back losses within weeks and months my heart goes out to the family in these difficult times of mourning. You can't prepare for things like this. But we can trust the Lords will and decisions and hold steadfast in prayer, faith, and love. My condolences and heart goes out to the family 🙏🏾❤️🕊️ -Asa-

It is with great sorrow that we are extending heartfelt sympathy to the family. Her late sister, Ernestine was one of my dearest friends. We are praying for the Lord to comfort you all in this your time of bereavement and in days to come.

Don't think of her as gone away Her journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, from the sorrow and tears, in place of warmth and comfort with no days or months or years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, that nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much. Thank you Sis Brown for your encouragement over the 53 years I have known you. Rest in peace Deaconess Bette Durham

To Chandra & Amber with deepest sympathy the loss of your mother & grandmother. She love both of you, the family & friends. Unconditionally in her life journey she shared with family, friends, and strangers. A believer in the holy spirit & God. She said my daughter is a strong caring woman. I can depend on her. I am proud of Amber. She earned her college degrees. She is busy but always find time for her grandma. Especially when the weather is bad. Amber brings dinner and run my errands Rheatis treasured time with her girls. To her sister Lillie B. & James, nieces, nephews you all have a special place in her heart. For me & my family we will always be graceful to Rheatis for opening her home when I need a place to stay in New York. Several years ago my brotherJames WAS sick, and doctors request a family member in attendance. I live in Pembroke Pines, Florida. My call to Rheatis in hope she could help me find temporary housing. With no hesitation she says, you come stay with me, come see about your brother, we are family. She welcome me with open arms, and we prayed together for James. On her journey into eternal life be assured she is surround with love of Aunt Bernice, Uncle Perry, Joe, Ernestine, Ike, other family & friends. Let's celebrate her life and give praise @ homegoing Union Cypress AME Church. I will miss our daily morning greetings, our prayers together, and worship by phone-internet.

I had the pleasure working with Rheatis for about 5 years and in that time we grew close.

We spoke about our individual visits to the Carolinas and I often shared pictures of my children and their milestones in life. We both liked to order Shirley Temples with a cherry at our company events. Rheatis was such a pleasure to work with and so respected and loved. She was not only a colleague but a bonus grandmother in my eyes. Sleep in Peace RB. Condolence from the Knox Family
