Tuesday, October 30, 2018Her 88-year-old father has been caring for her mom for eight years.“To see there are others in the same situation is impactful,” said Sadeghi, of the Lab and Camp retail complexes in Costa Mesa. She hopes awareness will prompt Congress to spend more money on research. “I worry for myself because Alzheimer’s is such a burden on others.”Anne Grey, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Orange County chapter, whose grandpa died in 2001 after a 14-year struggle, said 16 million people are unpaid care providers for Alzheimer’s patients.“As the prevalence of this disease continues to grow, the cost of care is escalating into the hundreds of billions,” Grey said. “Alzheimer’s is destroying our families, our finances and our future. It’s time to end it.”Bolsa Grande High School volunteer Ivy Pham, 16, gets an impromptu hug from 4-year-old Genesis Thomas while cheering her on during the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Huntington Beach on Saturday, October 6, 2018.

Suit from Wildfang.?Hair: Lavish Looks, Sparkle BeelerKaitlan is from Cincinnati and Robin is from Louisville, so Red River Gorge was a good meeting point between the two locations. “Standing in front of the beautiful gorge with all of our friends and family was magical,” Robin says. “We had 60 guests and it was the perfect amount for us. We were able to give all of our guests personal attention, and by the end of the weekend everybody felt like one big family.“(Instagram is) great for initial inspiration, but we started to second-guess our planning decisions after seeing a gorgeous escort card table or fun food station. Trust your instincts and believe in your vision. And get a wedding planner. For real. Jeannie Smith, our planner and coordinator (AshBy Wedding & Event Planning), knew what vendors would be appropriate for what we wanted and, more importantly, knew the vendors that would be willing to trek out into the wilds of Kentucky.”This originally appeared in the Spring/Summer 2019 issue of Louisville Bride.

Retired educator, florist Sylvia Richardson dies at 76 - Richmond Free Press
Tuesday, April 16, 2019Sylvia D. Richardson loved the color purple. And the bubbly woman who brimmed with enthusiasm infused that color into her dual roles as an educator and a florist. During her tenure as principal of Bellevue Elementary School, Mrs. Richardson turned the historic building in Church Hill into a purple palace. She had the school’s entry door, hallways, classroom walls and building floors painted her favorite color. Purple also was the color of the house on the corner of Brookland Park Boulevard and Edgewood Avenue from which she operated a floral business, Bouquets by Sylvia, for nearly 25 years. “Purple was her chosen color because the color signifies royalty, and that was how Sylvia carried herself and also how she treated everyone with whom she came into contact,” Adeline Clarke, a longtime friend, wrote in a tribute.Mrs. Richardson died Monday, March 18, 2019, of complications from a fall at her residence, her family said. She was 76. Family and friends celebrated her life at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church on Tuesday, March 26. Born Sylvia Juanita Duncan in Cheraw, S.C., she came to Richmond to teach after graduating from Bennet... http://richmondfreepress.com/news/2019/apr/05/retired-educator-florist-sylvia-richardson-dies-76/
