And she didn't smoke.

Sometimes life is so not fair.

Seems the Reeves family couldn't catch a break. I'm sorry to hear of this. Thoughts go out to the children.

Would you mind explaining why it was "not unexpected"?

Dana appeared very healthy to me!

That is so sad! They have a son who's still pretty young, don't they? That poor kid!

It's not unusual for a loving spouse to die soon after they lose theirs; especially when you have a caretaker situation. I've seen it happen many times to the older generation of men/women in my family.

But I'll bet Chris and Dana are whoopin' it up in Heaven right now, riding horses and having a great time. :)
