BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - âI think the bracelet really was a lifesaver, Iâll put it like that.â
Pell City resident Edith Word said she got the location transmitting Lifesaver bracelet for her now late husband Harvey after a scary few hours when he went missing.
âBefore my husband was actually diagnosed with Alzheimerâs, he was a big walker. One day he decided to go a different way or explore, and he got his self lost. It took me almost two hours to locate him,â Word said.
