:( very sad. I don't think that I knew she had cancer. :(

ETA: I guess I did know (per the other thread in N & P)

My thoughts are of their son. Being 13 is hard enough and add to mix losing both parents. The poor kid. :(

I said the exact same thing in the other thread; I cannot imagine what the kid must be going through right now.

That's the first thing I thought when I heard the news this morning.

Yes!

Sad all the way around.

It really is so sad. But if that kid is anything like his parents, he has great strength and will persevere.

Wow... and I thought she was reported as doing well.

How sad.

So did I.

I just read it via yahoo and my thoughts immediately went to their son. Poor kid. To lose both your parents at such a young age and plus, hasn't it been less than 2 years since Christopher died?

I believe he died in 2004 so that'd be right. So tragic. What an amazing couple.

I was very sad when I heard it on the evening news. Condolences go out to the family, especially Will.:( :(

This is the saddest news ever!! I can't believe it! I feel so sorry for their 13 year old son! WHat is he going to do?

I saw that on tv today! Poor Will, hopefully he can go live with his half sister or brother!
