I feel so bad for their son! To lose both parents in such a short span of time. He's so young too!

That's just so tragic for their families. Her getting sick was like one of those 'Of course, what else can go wrong?' moments. She really was pretty brave through it all though.

It's so sad. She was so young. But apparently it's a common thing for widows/widowers to die shortly after the spouse has passed on.

RIP Dana Reeve
