Alzheimer’s disease has stalked Paula Acosta Marks of Austin since birth, and now she knows: She will be the last member of her immediate family left to remember what it did to them.
Alzheimer’s first attacked her mother, whose death in 1982 was attributed to a form of mad cow disease. Paula was just 5. Now, she is watching her two older sisters, ages 38 and 48, lose their memories to the same rare, inherited form of Alzheimer’s disease.
