Okay, we already had the big sob fest here when Peter Jennings died last year of lung cancer.
Earlier today I posted about a Minnesota hero who died at a tragically young age.
Now ... Dana Reeve. That's ReevE, not Reeves. Widow of Christopher Reeve. (Again, no "S" on the end.)
Lung cancer. In a non-smoking woman who was the stepmother of two, the mother of a 13 year old who already lost their dad. She was 44. Man, sometimes life just really isn't fair.
I SO feel for those kids.
ReplyDeleteI was interviewed by a local radio station on Reeve's death. They wanted to know if the secondhand smoke (she was a nightclub singer in NYC in the years before the ban) caused the cancer.
ReplyDeleteOf course, we can't say for certain. But Dana wasn't working around radon or other known cancer-causing agents, so the list of suspect narrows...
