“The way he looked at her, the way he held on to her, the way she smiled, I can’t really imagine one without the other,” Barbara Walters said when she spent time with Patrick and Lisa in December 2008. Walters was there filming a TV special titled Patrick Swayze: The Truth. “That marriage is extraordinary.” Isn’t that what we all want? (That’s a rhetorical question!)

Don, Patrick’s younger brother, has recently claimed that Lisa was always Patrick’s rock during the last year of his life while he battled pancreatic cancer.”You can see Lisa put her husband before herself and fight back emotion,” Don told PEOPLE in 2008. “It’s very admirable, but you know she’s got things going on inside that she’s not expressing because she’s staying strong and positive for my brother… He looks into her eyes and he sees nothing except, ‘Everything is going to be OK.’ No matter what he’s going through, it’s OK. She’s just there.”
