I'm sure her family is sad that she's dead... and I'm sure her family is proud of her accomplishments... but her do-gooding doesn't make her any better or any more deserving of sympathy than anyone else who died...
I'd much rather read about that unknown guy down the street that worked his butt off to provide for his family... than a celebrity.

But perhaps you could have quoted ALL of what I said. While I agree with your last sentence, I disagree with the middle part. Some people who died deserve no sympathy. It's possible that a child molester died today. Maybe a murderer or rapist. Perhaps someone that beat his wife or kids. Maybe someone that walked around the neighborhood beating and torturing people's pets. Those people DO NOT deserve my sympathy. So, when it's noted that a decent person has died, my heart goes out to their families and those they left behind. *shrug* Sure, I don't hear about every one of them... but not every person deserves to be known about.
