Gone Too Soon: Christopher Reeve's Widow Dies of Lung Cancer

Dana Reeve, the widow of the late Christopher Reeve, died Monday of lung cancer at the age of 44.

She won worldwide respect for her strength in caring for her actor-activist husband after his spinal cord injury eleven years ago. He died in 2004 and she had carried on his crusade to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.

She leaves behind a teenaged son and two stepchildren.

May she rest in peace.
