The name for the St. Michaels medical team members, sitters, Brookdale community staff, Encompass Home Healthcare, Enhabit Hospice, and Superior Senior Care certified nurse attendants may be frontliners but a fitting name for them would be angels, too.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alzheimer’s Texas (www.txalz.org) or Habitat For Humanity.
