To the family and friends of Mike (Songbird) Tate, my condolences and prayers. Mike always made the people he was around happy, always smiling regardless of what the situation or circumstance from the time I met him in the early 70's to the present he always had a good word friendly fashionable and a presence that was unforgettable. Loved by all, he will be missed. Take care family and continue to spread the love he shared!
