Colorful pinwheels recognize those who battle Alzheimer’s

DeKALB – The writing on one purple flower’s petal read, “Dad, I miss you every day.”

Other flowers “planted” in a memorial garden at Hopkins Park honored grandparents or other relatives, mentioning loved ones were “gone but not forgotten.” Some notes mentioned hope for finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.

The flower pinwheels were given to caregivers, supporters and family members of those with Alzheimer’s during Sunday’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
