Sadness

This is so so sad, especially for their 13-year-old son, Will.

Dana Reeve, the widow of Christopher Reeve, passed away of lung cancer late Monday.

What's more troubling is that Reeve was one of the many non-smokers afflicted with the terrible disease.

The Christopher Reeve Foundation released the following statement:

"On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and staff of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, we are extremely saddened by the death of Dana Reeve, whose grace and courage under the most difficult of circumstances was a source of comfort and inspiration to all of us. Dana will always be remembered for her passion, strength and ceaseless courage that became her hallmark."

So sad.
