"I used to always say, particularly with the kinds of roles that Patrick liked to play, he always liked to be the hero," she said."I always say, ‘You give him a sword, a cape and a horse, and he’s a happy man.’ But I tell you, when it came to fighting his illness, this disease, you really saw he… was a hero."
"It was a beautiful day and his eyes glistened, and he said, ‘I want to live,’" she recalled."I know that everybody else out there that is dealing with this disease and their families feel exactly the same." Lisa Niemi Swayze and Patrick Swayze were married from 1975. They remained together until the star's death in 2009.
