Dana Reeve, Devoted Caretaker and Advocate,
Is Dead at 44

"Ms. Reeve will be seen on March 29 in a PBS program, "The New
Medicine," which was taped in November. In its introduction, she says,
"It has become clear to me that high-tech medicine, with all its
wonders, often leaves out that all-important human touch."

Her interest in preserving humane approaches to life in the face of
disability was reflected in her work at the Christopher Reeve
Foundation.

"She navigated the difficulties in their lives, so she decided she
wanted to do something to help people living with paralysis and
established the Quality of Life grants program," said Maggie Goldberg,
spokeswoman for the foundation. The program has awarded $8 million to
nonprofit organizations that help people with disabilities, Ms.
Goldberg said.

"Chris was all about research, research, cure and treatment," Ms.
Goldberg said. "Dana said, 'We need to worry about the here and now.' "

~ * I Heard It
Through The Grapevine * ~

"Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew
'bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys you know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Dontcha know that I

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else
Instead I

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Dontcha know I

Heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Honey, honey, I know
That you're lettin' me go
Said I heard it through the grapevine
Heard it through the grapevine"

~ * Stand By Me * ~

"When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No i won't be afraid
Oh i won't be afraid
Just as long
As you stand, stand by me
So darling darling stand by me
Oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky
That we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains
Should crumble
To the sea
I won't cry, i won't cry
No i won't shed a tear
Just as long
As you stand, stand by me
And darling darling stand by me
Oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
And darling darling stand by me
Oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me"
