I didn't even know she was ill. Was her cancer diagnosis made while Chris was still alive? If so, then her having to struggle with both of their conditions and with all the media and public scrutiny showed quite a bit of heroic grace.

What a shame..
March 7, 200620 yr Ugh, horribly sad. At least her and her husband are together now in a better place. And they always come on 3's......not sure who is next, but they will probably be in their mid 40's.
