This Morning Tate Herman went home to be with the Lord.  If you had the opportunity to meet Tate, you knew how much of a chill, loving, funny, talented, young man he was.  Tates life was cut short, and all of us here on earth are feeling the loss of his amazing presence.  His family is going through enough right now, to have to even worry about the financial burden this loss has caused. As  friends to the entire family, we need to be strong and help pull them through. We need to come along side, and give where we can give, and stand in the gap & pray when they dont have the words to speak. I ask you stop now what you are doing, and pray, donate, feel your heart as it guides you to help during this painful time. This is something no mother or father should ever have to worry about, and we can help ease the pain a tiny bit by being there for them.   Thank you & God Bless you all.
