Octavia Boyd sits in her backyard, wiping tears and scrolling through pictures and videos from her mother’s happiest times.
There’s one of 68-year-old Rose Davis from not long ago, sliding across her carpeted living room floor dancing to R&B. In another, she’s showing off a fashionable Sunday church hat. And in a throwback, Davis is dressed in a white starched uniform decades ago, carrying a medicine tray at one of several Central Texas hospitals and nursing homes where she spent her 40-plus year nursing career.
“She was a beautiful person,” Boyd said, “always laughing, always telling jokes.”

THE resignations of five labour representatives from the National Tripartite Advisory Council (NTAC) have been accepted by the council s chair, Planning and Development Minister Camille Robinson-Regis.
A statement issued by NTAC on Thursday said that on April 20 Robinson-Regis wrote to Christopher Henry, James Lambert, Michael Annisette, Carlton Gibson and Joseph Remy. They had all resigned from NTAC on March 11.
In informing them that their resignations had been accepted, Robinson-Regis recalled for their benefit her first letter of response, dated March 16, in which the claims they made as the basis for their resignations were denied, and they were told the door was being kept open for their return to NTAC.
