WYLIE — Healing was the theme at a Wednesday evening prayer service in Wylie, a city filled with hearts aching over the death of the child who remains unidentified. "Two weeks ago, this community was at odds because of political campaigns," said Donna Valentino. "This has brought this community back together the way it should be." Pastors from half a dozen churches took turns leading the prayers, said in part for the child who has become known as "Wylie's Angel," a six-year-old with a feeding tube found dead in this Collin County town two weeks ago. But the prayers were also for the living — folks like Fire Chief Randy Corbin, attending the service as a private citizen, but well aware of the stress felt in the department he leads. "It hurts every one of them when things like this happens," Corbin said. "Its a shame it takes tragedy to make us remember we're all in this together." Frustrated by the lack of clues in the case of the unidentified child, authorities are now turning to the TV show "America's Most Wanted" for help. A Facebook page devoted to Wylie's Angel now has 25000 friends. Page host Malorie Martinez is overwhelmed. "I just hope somebody sees this and knows his face and calls the number and identifies him so we can bury him with his name," she said. First Baptist Church of Wylie is sponsoring the funeral for the boy. They have scheduled a memorial service for Thursday evening. On Wednesday, residents prayed to know who the child is, but for now, that prayer <b>...</b>

General info about Hospital admissions representatives:Hospital admissions representatives, or admitting clerks, are both interviewers and customer service representatives. Interviewers obtain and verify information from individuals and businesses by mail, telephone, or in person for the purpose of completing forms, applications, and questionnaires, such as market research surveys, Census forms, college admission applications, and medical histories. They review the answers for completeness and accuracy and record the information. Customer service representatives provide a valuable link between customers and the companies who produce the products they buy and the services they use. They are responsible for responding to customer inquiries and making sure that any problems they are experiencing are resolved. Although most customer service representatives do their work by telephone in call centers, some interact with customers by e-mail, fax, post, or face-to-face. Many customer service inquiries involve simple questions or requests. For instance, a customer may want to know the status of an order or wish to change his or her address in the company's file. However, some questions may be somewhat more difficult, and may require additional research or help from an expert. In some cases, a representative's main function may be to determine who in the organization is best suited to answer a customer's questions. Some customer inquiries are complaints, which generally must be handled in accordance with strict company policies. In some cases, representatives may try to fix problems or suggest solutions. They may have the authority to reverse erroneous fees or send replacement products. Other representatives act as gatekeepers who make sure that complaints are valid before accepting customer returns. Although selling products and services is not the primary function of a customer service representative, some customer services representatives may provide information that helps customers to make purchasing decisions. For instance, a representative may point out a .....
