Superman's Widow Dies

This is really sad:

Dana Reeve, the widow of 'Superman' star Christopher Reeve, died last night from lung cancer. The 44-year-old nonsmoker faithfully stood by her husband's side after an accident left him paralyzed and later poured her energy into the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, which funds research on paralysis and works to improve the life of the disabled. The couple's 13-year-old son lost both parents in less than a two year period.

I grew up as a big fan of the Superman movies -- particularly the first one. Dana and Christopher Reeve both lived up to the Superman name after a horse-riding accident left Christopher as a quadraplegic. Truly a sad and touching story.

Please remember their 13-year-old son, Will, and the rest of their family in your prayers.

For those who care to do so, donations may be made in Dana's memory to the Christopher Reeve Foundation, 636 Morris Turnpike, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078 or online at www.ChristopherReeve.org.
