When Eileen and Richard Menna recited their vows almost 70 years ago, they promised to love each other through sickness and in health. Eileen, now living with dementia, and Richard joined five other couples to reaffirm their lifelong commitment at a vow renewal at Liberty Place, an Anthem Memory Care community located at 7200 Heritagespring Drive, West Chester, OH.
“This ceremony was a celebration of love’s resilience,” said Amy Snow, life engagement director for Liberty Place. “Dementia may bring challenges, but it cannot erase the special bond these couples share. We were honored to help create joyful memories for them and their families.”
