Extremely well stated!

Christopher Reeve accomplished more in the last nine years than most
people do in a lifetime, despite unreal suffering and overwhelming odds. He
authored books, directed and acted in movies, and worked relentlessly as a
speaker and advocate. In his situation, despite the money and fame, I
would have withered away. His spirit seemed indomitable, and it pains me to
hear other quads question his motives and criticize his outspokeness.
He was a true hero to me and millions of others. I thank God for
Christopher Reeve and I thank God that he did not go gentle into that good
night. He raged against the dying of the light until the very end. Perhaps he
did not make a "declaration of faith," but if anyone deserves to be
sitting -- No, make that standing! -- at the right hand of God today, it is
Christopher Reeve. I thank god for his life and undying spirit. This world and
my heart both have a huge empty space today at the loss of our leader -- free
at last.
