Sad, Sad, Sad

It’s such terrible news about the death of beautiful, talented Natasha Richardson. What a wonderful actress (and Tony winner), with a devoted family, you may remember her from the Christmas episode of this season’s Top Chef, when the cheftestents catered a party for amfAR. She was on the Board of Trustees of this AIDS charity and had raised a lot of money for them over the years. Apparently, she was also an excellent cook and loved cooking for her family and friends. It’s such a shame.

This is just heartbreaking...

Lys, it really is. She just seemed like a perfectly lovely person and who doesn't love Liam Neeson?

Sad indeed. It's hard to believe someone so young could be gone so quickly when she was hardly a live-fast-die-young type.

It hits home a bit with me because I participate in a sport where one's head is quite at risk. It reminds me of how easily I could die from a seemingly harmless fall.

Hey Rach,
You be careful out there!

You're right about her not seeming to have lived life in the fast lane. Life can really be unfair sometimes.
