In Memoriam: Natasha Richardson

Natasha's untimely death should remind all of us of the need to live more in the moment and grasp some happiness each day - and to love others each day - since we truly do not know when some freak accident could change everything in literally hours. As someone who grew up snow skiing, her accident and death sends shivers down my spine. My thoughts go out to her children and family.

On Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009, she had attended an amfAR gala to kick off fashion week and to raise money for AIDS research. Richardson was also on the board of the charity amfAR, The Foundation for Aids Research. According to the Guardian, this statement was issued by amfAR:
*
"Natasha's passion for the cause and tireless efforts gave hope and inspiration to the scientists and healthcare workers on the front lines of this deadly epidemic, as well as to the millions of people living with HIV/AIDS around the world. "The board of trustees and staff of amfAR are deeply saddened by this loss."
