    That is so sad. Such unselfish love and devotion she gave to her husband.

    I hope that somehow, somewhere, Dana and Christopher are together again...

    Dana and Christopher Reeve... here is a classic example of why I don't believe in karma.

    They were two of the most kind, caring and generous people on earth.

    Yeah, but what if she really IS in a better place? Maybe she's with Christopher.

    Does anyone know if she smoked? I doubt it, but had to ask.

    No, she didn't smoke -- another thing that makes it so sad. Truly an innocent victim.
