1. This is incredibly sad...

Wow, I didn't realize how sick she was.

2. she had lung cancer

both her and her husband are truely inspirations

3. Poor kid

Their son is 13, what a loss.

I'm hoping there is an ever after and she and her husband have reunited. They both offered so much here on earth and stayed such a short time.

5. Dammit.

This is so tragic. She was a great woman ... Her poor son -- to lose two parents in such a short time ...

6. 1 in 5 women diagnosed with lung cancer never lit a cigarette

R.I.P.

9. I was so hoping someone would point that out.

R.I.P., Ms. Reeve.

7. I know it was hard for her to let go

with a young child to raise. Rest in peace.

8. Bless her and her son and family

It must have been very, very hard to leave. We have to end this disease.

10. her poor family, especially her son

She bore her troubles with grace, as did her husband

I hope their son has the same inner strength--I'm sure he must, after growing up with their example--but I also hope he lets himself break down and cry sometimes and doesn't feel as though he has to be strong all the time, just because he's his parents' kid.

11. I pray for her, and by extension, for all of those who die too

early, in a tragic manner, and leave young children behind.
