Walk to End Alzheimerโs to take place virtually on Saturday
The Walk To End Alzeimerโs will take place this Saturday, Oct. 10 and the woman organizing it knows all too well how difficult this disease is. My dad passed away from COVID on July 19 and my mom passed away Aug. 4,โ Gibbons said. She doesnโt want the fight to end Alzeimerโs to end. โAfter seeing my parents go through it, we understand, so itโs all gonna be virtual,โ Gibbons said. There will be a ceremony for the Walk To End Alzeimerโs and the walk will take place at 9:30 a.m.โThey can walk wherever they want to, it doesnโt matter where they live, they can live out of state and still walk with us,โ Gibbons said.
Mission Park Cemetery hosts 5K for Day of the Dead celebrations
SAN ANTONIO โ More than 100 participants ran through the Mission Park Cemetery in south San Antonio to honor their loved ones who have passed away. For Dick Tips, co-owner of Mission Park Funeral Homes and Cemetery, Saturday's race is a chance to continue with their mission of compassionate care of the departed and their families. Some runners had never been to Mission Park Cemetery, but others, including Janie Gonzalez, say they know the burial park far too well.
