14. The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation...
Edited on Tue Mar-07-06 08:46 AM by marions ghost
the only organization out there that gives real hope to severe spinal cord injury patients. Both the Reeves did so much to make a difference. May others carry on in their name.

26. Died of lung cancer, and never smoked a day in her life.
Somehow, that just makes it that much worse.

30. In an interview (might have been Larry King)...
she talked about her many years of singing in smoke-filled lounges.

Second-hand smoke does kill.

31. This is just devastating, especially for her 13 year old son. She had more
courage, grace, and dignity throughout the last decade than I can even imagine. This was no doubt her character always. She was sincerely a wonderful, remarkable woman.

32. That is so so sad. I feel for her son right now.
Bless her and her kind spirit. What a lovely lady.
Very sad. I was shocked, cause I hadn't followed how ill
she had gotten.
