    Death of an unsung heroine



    Dana Reeve died yesterday. There aren't many ladies like this around these days. I know because I am still looking. Character is the single most important quality to look for in another person (in my humble, unmarried opinion). It is always easy to find attractive people, but attractive people with character is a different story. She was certainly one of those rare few. I have always admired this woman's dedication to her husband, family, and philanthropy in spite of the unforgiving difficulty. May she rest in peace, and be reunited with her husband.

    Nice post Jake, she certainly was a unique, special woman...

    Still looking you say? I have the feeling you're not going to have a hard time finding a special lady yourself:-)

    It was a sad day and a sad week indeed. She was one heck of a woman! It's hard to find that quality in anyone... be it man or woman.

    Couldn't stop crying when I heard she died. It's nice to hear young men appreciate the important qualities.
