Having lost both his mother and father, plus his grandmother in the last 18 months, you could imagine that 13-year-old Will Reeve would be an emotional mess. However, Tour De France cycling champion Lance Armstrong says Will, the son of the late Christopher and Dana Reeve, is hanging in there.

"I would say that his spirits were pretty good considering that," Lance said. He has been a source of support for Will throughout Dana's battle with lung cancer, which ended last Monday. He even spent Wednesday just hanging out and comforting Will.

"All you can do is say, 'Hey buddy, I'm here if you want to go hang out, if you want to play games, whatever you want to do, I'm here," He said.

Dana, a nonsmoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer last August. Christopher died in 2004 from an infection. As for where Will will be placed, there has not been any word released on the Reeve's plan for their son in case of death.

Robin Williams will be taking Will in, according to this news story. He promised Chris and Dana that he would in 1995. Chris and Robin became friends while students at the Julliard School of Drama.
