I am sincerely saddened for your entire family at this time. I knew Tanya from Reynolds Middle School and thought the world of her. She brightened up the room with her smile and laughter. I also knew Jeremy and Damion from school. I just want to send my deepest sympathy and will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to Hatfield family. LaTanya was a Joy to be around…I Loved her attitude she would tell it like it is and she too had that Motherly Love for me and others that she would encounter. Now she is at peace with God in Heaven so I ask God to let her legacy live within me for she was one of a kind…Love Ya LaTanya till we meet again.

I am so sorry for the passing of La Tanya. We were both members of Kings Temple and shared our love for GOD with each other. I will never forget how she showed us With a rose how our children fall apart and how we as parents need to stand by them. LaTayna loved children and wanted to make sure they were given a chance. What a beautiful rose she was and she will be missed.
My love and condolences are with the family and I pray for comfort now and in the future.

Adrian, we are family. I shared her as my sister and you shared her as your wife. You are a true example of your wedding vows said 45 years ago. “For better or worse, through sickness and in health”. Thank you for your care for Tayna. We will see her again one day. Love you. You are in my prayers. You are His very best. Jesus loves you and so do I. Brenda Woods (Grimes)

Deaar Adrien, Jeremy, Damian, Pam and other family members,
I was so sorry to read this obituary. I was not aware Tanya had been ill. I truly valued her as a colleague at Reynolds many years ago. Her sense of humor got all of us through some difficult days. I hope she passed peacefully. I know she is already entertaining others in heaven where she was welcomed by her daughter and brother. My prayers are with you as you face this loss in your family. Most truly yours. (PS If my health was better, I would be there for the memorial service. Please know my thoughts are with you.)
