CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Remember that some plants can help you repel mosquitoes naturally.
âThese plants are not going to just repel mosquitoes just standing here by themselves,â said Wyatt Page of Gill Garden Center. âYou have to find a way to release those essential oils. The way that that happens is you have to put them in place where they are going to get brushed up against. Where the wind is going to move their foliage together. That is going to release those oils. When those oils are released into the air, that is what is going to help to repel mosquitoes.â
Last year, at Christmastime, then-12-year-old Wyatt Page of Eagle Mountain knew that he would soon be passing away.
However, rather than focusing on his own trials, Wyatt was busy worrying about how his parents would spend their time after he was gone and trying to make a difference in the lives of other children like him â children battling cancer.
Wyatt passed away on Jan. 14, 2020, after battling ependymoma brain cancer. Twenty-two months before that, a tennis ball-sized tumor was found in his brain. During those 22 months, Wyatt underwent five surgeries and 96 radiation treatments.
In September 2019, it was discovered that Wyattâs cancer had metastasized.
