I met Mrs. Tate when she was staying at Diamond Ridge for a bit and got to know her and Mr. Tate from their time spent visiting during the pandemic. She was a very sweet lady who was very devoted to and by her loving family. She was a bright light in a dark time and I know she is rejoicing in her new soul state, shining that light back to all who knew her.
