There are many Australian members on this site, and I'm sure those of you in the UK and some in the US will know who Belinda Emmett is.
She was an actress on Home and Away (Australian soap) and this is where she first found her fame. She was diagnosed at the age of 24 with breast cancer, went into remission, and after a few years was diagnosed with secondary bone cancer.
Last year she married one of our most popular comedians and television celebrities, Rove McManus. Theirs was a beautiful love story. I am terribly sad for him, he adored her.
Over the past years Belinda has become increasingly thin, frail and fragile. The media, for a wonder, left them and their relationship alone, out of respect for their love and their personal battle. I was shocked to hear that she died this morning - clearly she had been dying for a long time, but I didn't realise it would be this close.
I would like to ask everyone to say a prayer for Rove and her family, and for Belinda herself, who was too young to die, at 32.
Rest In Peace, beautiful Belinda Emmett (1974 - 2006)
