Link to: New York Times story From the article: In 1999, Ms. Reeve edited “Care Packages,” a book of letters to her husband from strangers.

In its introduction, she wrote: “This book is a thank-you letter. A long overdue reply to all of the people who, during one of the most difficult and painful periods my family has had to endure, took time and wrote to us; faxed us; phoned or visited us; prayed for us; joined hands for us; sent us flowers, gifts, white light, religious tokens and talismans, books, tapes, drawings, funny stories and jokes that made us laugh, tales of overcoming hardship that inspired us and gave us hope.”
