Mother Tates was one of the sweetest persons I've ever known. She would always greet me with a smile! I enjoyed just being around her. I could always see the spirit of the Lord in her. She will be missed but never forgotten! I am praying that God will comfort and keep the family in this time of bereavement and throughout life. God Bless! Till we meet again Mother Tates!
