TYLER — A couple of noteworthy events are on tap as the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County observes National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. The “Light a Candle of Care” service is set for November 14 from 2:00 till 3:00pm at Marvin United Methodist Church. Alliance spokeswoman Jamie Huff says that’s a time for reflection “on loved ones that have passed away with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, as well as just praying for those and remembering those who have the disease currently, and remembering their caregivers.” Huff appears on this week’s KTBB “Staff Meeting.” She also says National Memory Screening Day is set for November 16 at sites throughout the county. Who should come? Huff says “anyone in the general public who has memory loss issues or concerns of any type.”
