I'm just stunned...she was so young. And their son is so young. What a difficult life he has had. :guilty:
 
Very sad.
I used to go to a charity event every a year that she and Christopher would be at. :( This is shocking. I didn't even know she had lung cancer.
 
I don't know why I am shocked, but I am.

My heart goes out to her poor children. They have been though so much in their young lives.

Too weird, last week, three 80+ people died, now 2 people in their mid-40's. :sad2:
 

No! That is awful. so sad... their poor children... :sad2:
 
I know, I just saw, I can't help thinking about her son.
 
That just seems so unfair. I feel terrible for their son.
 
How very sad and tragic especially for their child
 
I just saw this on GMA. How very, very sad. :( Her poor son. :(
 
This is so very much uncalled for. I didn't know she had lung cancer. Such a tragedy for this family.

Hope the children are taken care of by a loving and caring family member(s).

My prayers for the remaining family

Edited to remember: I did know - but had just forgotten - guess the treatments didn't work too well or was advanced too far
 
Wow, I am shocked. I was just thinking about her the other day and wondering why there hadn't been a update on her health since she was diagnosed. :sad2:
 
I was hoping she'd survive her cancer. My heart goes out to her children. :sad1:
 
How terrible. Her poor son. I can't even imagine. I remember when she announced that she was sick but I didn't realize that she was still battling. Lung cancer is so hard to beat. Christopher's death also seemed quite sudden.

Just sad.
 
seems like yesterday i was watching her talking about her husband on oprah. shocking and sad :angel:
 
I'm shocked & saddened - I knew she had lung cancer, but did not know that it was progressing so quickly. When I heard she was ill, I guess I thought "she's such a fighter, she's been through so much" that she would surely make it. My heart goes out to their family.
 
So sad...I cried as I just saw the montage the Today show put together. I feel so bad for their son...
 
I gasped when I read this. So sad. :sad2:

Sometimes I just don't understand why the good die young. :confused3

That family has been thru so much. :grouphug: Just not fair or right.

I thought the same thing, she fought so hard with Christopher...that I figured she would beat the odds and be ok with this. That combined with the fact that we hadn't heard any updates led me to think she was doing ok. I feel so sorry for their son, plus Chris's kids from his earlier relationship.
