It's been 8 years since Miss Tate's passing. I was her student in 6th grade when she passed, and I wish I could tell her all the things I've accomplished since she's been gone. Joining the army, getting into MCHS, finally achieving the goals I told her about as a little 11 year old sitting in the back of her science class. She was always a motivating person for me and her classroom was where my love for science really started. I won't ever forget that.

Ms. Tate, I still carry you in my heart. You were so nice to me and you cared for me, like so many others as if they were you own. For that I thank you. I will always love you.

You'll always be in my heart!
Dear Ms.Tate, I've missed you still. It has been forever, and I appreciated you entered my life, even if it was just a short time. I love you Ms.Tate and I will always miss you because you will always be in my heart. I still remembered on Monday when the announcement came on in the morning, I didn't understand what it was saying but all I heard was "Andrea Hope Tate..." and I didn't understand what was happening and asked my classmates what is going on but no one answered until Ms.LaBlanc...

It's been a little more than 3 years now... You helped me through everything. You put up with me when I was hyper or crazy. You didnt let that distract you. You supported me through your class.... You were the best person I knew and loved.... Im still in denial..... You can't be gone. It's not possible.... Come back....
