Dana Reeve, Christopher Reeve's widow, died late yesterday of lung cancer. She announced just 6 months ago that she was diagnosed with the disease.
Dana had become the chairwoman for The Christopher Reeve Foundation which "funds research for new treatments for spinal cord injuries and works to improve the quality of life for people suffering from paralysis" and founder of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center.
I feel horribly for her 13 year-old son who, within a year and a half, has lost both of his parents. My heart goes out to him and the rest of her surviving family members.
