uber cynical mode here:

She's getting attention because she was married to a celebrity... There are people who take care of their loved ones every single day, and 'fight the good fight' every single day... while working full time jobs because they don't have millions in the bank... Good people die every single day... they don't get front page news on CNN when they do die... I'm sure her family is sad that she's dead... and I'm sure her family is proud of her accomplishments... but her do-gooding doesn't make her any better or any more deserving of sympathy than anyone else who died...

I'd much rather read about that unknown guy down the street that worked his butt off to provide for his family... than a celebrity.
