I sure did enjoy listening to Alice tell stories about when she was growing up. Will miss her at the West Reunion.

To the Bobby, Delores, & family...I am so sorry for your loss. Ms. Alice Tate was one of the most sweetest ladies I have ever met. It has been an honor to care for Ms. Alice while she resided at Abingdon Place. I am so glad I took my daughter (Harley) in to meet her last week...so she could see just how sweet she was. Ms. Alice always had a smile on her face and she knew what to say to make your day better. She will be missed and loved by so many. I will be praying for Tate family
