Please accept my deepest and most heartfelt condolences on the passing of Felicia Reeves. During this difficult time, I pray that God grants you comfort, strength, and peace.
Was saddened to read that young Felicia had left this world at such a young age. My and my family's deepest sympathy is extended to all of you of whom I have the highest regard. I remember how fond Hueene was of Felicia as well as Yvette's close friendship and mother Linda and brother Von and all of you, we wish you healing and warm memories to fade the grief. Hueene was at the top of our list for so many things and was a model of happiness and joy to others. We now are in an independent living retirement setting in Iowa where Meg and her family live with Emmie and her family three to four hours away in Wisconsin. Bill Jones

She was one of the most kind and thoughtful people I have ever known and I'm so grateful to have known and worked with her.

You will be greatly missed. Always full of energy and smile! It was privilege working with you. You will be remembered for positive impact you had on people around you. - Praveen Mohan
Felicia was a mathematics student of mine at Austin-East. What a beautiful, mannerly, smart young lady!! She was both exceptionally nice and highly intelligent, combining sharp cognitive abilities with deep emotional intelligence. Felicia could navigate complex problems while treating those who struggled with profound empathy, humility, and warmth. I've noticed from the tributes that she carried these attributes into adulthood. Such a profound loss here on Earth. Such a win for those in Heaven. I'm sending deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.
I meet her at the park i work at new harvest she was such a happy and beautiful lady ๐

Working with Felicia over the last few years was truly an honor. She was an incredible leader and person who always encouraged and inspired those around her. I am grateful for the time I had working with her and will always remember the positive influence she had on my life and career. We had some good laughs.

I am so heartbroken to hear about Felicia's passing. In the 28 years of knowing her, she became more than a friend; she became family. We laughed, prayed, and cried together through this struggle, but God had a better plan. Revelation 14:13 reminds us, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord... that they may rest from their labor, and their works follow them." Now she can truly rest!!
My prayers are with her entire family. May God surround you with comfort and strength during this difficult time.
My heart is broken, but I'm glad her struggle is over. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her. ๐ฉท
This is truly heartbreaking news. Felicia was an extraordinary personโshe served the State with deep commitment and brought compassion, kindness, and a genuine desire to help others in everything she did. Her impact on the people around her was unmistakable. May the Lord bring comfort, peace, and strength to her family during this difficult time, and may Felicia find eternal rest in the loving arms of Jesus.
I want to thank you for sharing Tony " Pops" with me. You've been more of a sister to him than a cousin could ever be. I looked at you as a great influence of energy, love, & kindness. Your mom and you were a great example of mother daughter goals! I love you so much and you will definitely be missed. You prepared me for college after high school and always were supportive near or far! You can rest and keep smiling and being the brightest person you've always been. Tell Mua & Lena Mae. I said hey and that I miss them so much. Until later my favorite ๐๐
I'm lost for words Felicia was a childhood friend we lost touch over the years but she was still was a friend, to her mom I'm so so sorry for your loss.
I am away for an extended time and was shocked and saddened to learn today of Felicia's passing. I had checked on her about 10 days ago and knew, even though she didn't say so, that she was struggling. My sweet, fierce, bright and beautiful friend, I will miss you so very much. I pray God's peace for all who loved you, and I am holding you in my heart.
Felicia was an inspiration to all who met her. Her spirit never wavered even during times of struggle, and I admired her strength most of all. I selfishly prayed every night that she would be returned to us whole, and in better health. God made her whole again, and brought her home where she belonged. I pray for peace and comfort for the Reeves family, and all who will miss her like I will.
Although I had only gotten to know Felicia well in the past few years, I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know her better and to work more closely with her. She was a bright spot in my day and interacting with her always made things and me better. She was exceptionally smart and was incredible at her job, but she was an even more amazing person. All of us at DHS were profoundly impacted by her work, her kindness and her joyful spirit and her loss is significant. Condolences to her friends, family, as well as to the DHS/STS community.
I was so sorry to hear that Felicia had passed away. I remember back in our DHS days so many years ago working with her. She was a very kind and outgoing person and was a pleasure to be around. I pray for all of her family, friends & co workers for comfort & peace.
On behalf of the entire team at Indigo Consulting, we offer our deepest condolences to Felicia's family, friends, and colleagues.
Felicia was much more than a partner to us; she was a true champion, an absolute joy to work alongside, and a bright spot in our day-to-day professional lives. She brought an unmatched kindness, understanding, and fun spirit to everything she touched, and she always went out of her way to support and uplift those around her.
We are all deeply saddened by your loss. Felicia was a rare and wonderful soul, and she will be incredibly missed. Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss and praying for your family in this time of sadness. She was a wonderful woman full of life and laughter and will be truly missed by all who knew her.
This is a tremendous loss. I will keep your family in my thoughts. Felicia helped guide me in my career and was a gentle soul who brought joy and light. I am glad our paths crossed and am better for it. The world is a darker place now that her light is out. May she rest in glory.
Felicia, we shared a long history and had many memories here at the State. You were the most courageous person I've ever known. No matter what illness did to your body, it couldn't touch your spirit. I will never forget the example you set of grace thru adversity, your positivity or your radient smile. It breaks my heart you had to leave and it hurts - but I am going to do my best to cry less and to rejoice more because you've been promoted to Glory. Today, you are free and doing better than any of us. Until we meet again, Lady.
My sincerest condolences to the Reeves Family. You are uplifted in the prayers of many. May the Lord strengthen and sustain you. May your cherished memories of Felicia bring you comfort at this time of deep sorrow. May peace find you gently, and wrap you in warm moments... May you always know that love is always stronger than loss.
