It's sad to see people take a soapbox proclaiming to be above the "celebrity hoopla" come into a thread that is meant to express people's sorrow and caring for someone that affected them.
I just think it says something about someone's character when they have to enter a memorial and talk about how the death doesn't affect them. Why then are you wasting your time and more importantly why do you feel the need to make others defend their positions and sorrow? In doing so you show no respect to either the person memorializing or the person whose life was taken.
This lady had a lot of class, a lot of soul and most importantly truly loved her husband. Loved the man enough to stick by him and in today's world that in and of itself is very rare and should be honored and respected.

Thank you, Pan! All this cleb stuff is Bullshit! The thread was started because ShaniFaye felt some sorrow that Dana Reeve past away.

"Despite never having smoked she was diagnosed with lung cancer last year.
She leaves a 13 year old son.
RIP, you've fought a long battle, not only for yourself but for Christopher and those like him too."
I appreciate her determination sticking with her husband, making his battle her battle, after his death she could have abandoned the cause but didn't. She was a strong intelligent woman well worth talking about.
I know first hand, I'm married to such a woman, I severed my spinal cord just one level below Christopher Reeve. I fortunately have the ability to breathe with my diaphragm. My wife is the amazing one, only married 6 months she has stuck by my side for almost 25 years, she is loving and caring. She works 50+ hours a week, helps me and hauls our teenage daughter all over. Just trying to live as normal as possible. I know she will never be written up in the papers but when a story like this can be told, it should be.
Dana Reeves help to raise awareness to spinal cord injury and continued supporting Christopher’s foundation, which may fund advances in research.
She was admirable.
May she peacefully rest.
