The wife of Christopher Reeve has died of lung cancer. I loved her and her courage of being with Chris and keeping up the hope for paralysis support.

I feel like I lost a friend, just like I did when Princess Di died.

I am just in tears.

I heard this too this morning and I'm shocked. The last I had read about this, she was responding well to treatment. If you read the article on yahoo news it says the same thing. I wonder when she took a turn for the worse...it just seems like she went rather quickly. I'm so sad for their young son, having lost both parents in a short time....

My heart goes out to her son, who is now an orphan. The thought of him growing up without his parents truely saddens me.

I was deeply saddened by this news. My heart goes out to their son. I have no doubt he's inherited the grace and strength of both is parents. God knows, he's going to need it.
