Christopher Reeve's widow dies at 44

i actually cried this morning when i heard this news. I mean, i don't even know these people, but she and Christopher were two people i REALLY looked up to and admired. My mom caught me crying and asked what was wrong and i told her. It's just so unreal.......

This is so sad.

Evidently, she had lung cancer - even though she was a lifelong non-smoker.

This was such a tragedy. They have one son, and he's 13 years old. There were some grown kids from previous marriages. Just seems like that family didn't even get done reeling from one tragedy before another one was staring them in the face.

they think she might've got it from singing in smoky clubs all those years. It IS possible for non-smokers to get lung cancer....my uncle got it and he didn't smoke at all. He died when i was 6 or 7.

How sad. I feel really bad for their family and young children.
