Kelly Preston, Wife of John Travolta, Passes Away RIP

[FiveRinger]

Preston was 57, and succumbed to breast cancer. I was not aware that she was ill. That family has been through a lot. Prayers to John Travolta and his children. RIP

Kelly Preston Dies of Breast Cancer at 57: 'She Was a Bright, Beautiful and Loving Soul'

Kelly Preston died on July 12 following a two-year battle with breast cancer

"Choosing to keep her fight private, she had been undergoing medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends," the family rep says. "She was a bright, beautiful and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time."

Preston is survived by her husband John Travolta and their children: daughter Ella, 20, and 9-year-old son Benjamin. Son Jett died at age 16 in January 2009.

Didn't know she was ill.

Didn't know she was ill.

It appears she and her family kept that information very private.

Rest in Peace, Sweet Kelly.

So sad. Sorry to hear this. RIP to Kelly. My heart goes out to John and their two surviving children. ♥

There are so many people leaving us these days, more than ever. It was unbelievably sad to hear about Broadway star Nick Cordero's death recently from complications of the v i r u s. His wife, Amanda Kloots, and baby son survive him. I unexpectedly suffered the personal loss of a younger relative recently too.

I have been a fan and admirer of Kelly since she first broke through in the movies as a teenager. Her premature death really makes me feel old since we are of the same generation. RIP.
