Socorro Ortega, 81, is overcome by emotions as she describes the final days of her husband's life, Juan Ortega, who passed away in May at the age of 86, due to complications from Alzheimer's Disease.

Ortega said that she and her children never lost their love for "Tata" even as his memory loss took away his ability to recognize them. "We still knew him" she said. "We knew him".
