Don Thomas said their marriage was ideal. They had challenges, but they faced them together. They never got to a point that they couldn’t get over together. “It’s awfully easy to say ‘I’m out of here’ and you can do it,” Don said. “It wasn’t that way for Louise and I. I think you’ve really got to try hard.” Their relationship now has faced its biggest challenge in 60 years of marriage. Louise was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2005. Don noticed warning signs several years before she was diagnosed, but he didn’t see them then as quickly as he does now, in retrospect.
