She died of a broken heart.
I wonder how much money the Ketchup King was able to suck up before he ditched her?

Too bad her daughters glommed onto stepmoney rather than their mother.

All of the rich and famous women have been married to John Kerry at some point in their lives.

From Wikipedia:
Kerry was married to Julia Thorne in 1970, and they had two children together. Alexandra Kerry was born on September 5, 1973, days before Kerry began law school. A graduate of Brown University, Alexandra received her M.F.A. in June 2004 from the AFI Conservatory. Vanessa Kerry was born on December 31, 1976. She is a graduate of Phillips Academy (like her grandfather) and Yale University, and is currently a student at Harvard Medical School. Vanessa was active in her father's 2004 Presidential campaign.
In 1982 Thorne, who was suffering from severe depression, asked Kerry for a separation. They were divorced on July 25, 1988. According the Washington Blade: "Kerry and Thorne finalized their divorce in 1988... After Thorne requested an increase in alimony in 1995, Kerry sought an annulment of their marriage from the Catholic Church, a move observers saw as retaliatory. Kerry eventually received the annulment from the Boston diocese despite Thornes vehement objections." [41] The marriage was formally annulled by the Roman Catholic Church in 1997.
"After 14 years as a political wife, I associated politics only with anger, fear and loneliness" she wrote in A Change of Heart, her book about depression. Thorne later married Richard Charlesworth, an architect, and moved to Bozeman, Montana, where she became active in local environmental groups such as the Greater Yellowstone Coalition.
Kerry and his second wife, Teresa Simões-Ferreira Heinz, the widow of Pennsylvania Senator H. John Heinz III, a Republican, and former United Nations interpreter, as well as a Bonesman legacy, were introduced to each other by John Heinz at an Earth Day rally in 1990.

In a telephone interview, John Kerry called Ms. Thorne "a great friend to a lot of people" and spoke with emotion of her accomplishments as a parent. "She was the best mom two daughters could want," he said. "She was completely committed to the kids and their future." That's why I dumped her and tried to have the marriage annulled, even though we had two children. Hypocrite!

''I don't have a single reservation about this man," she said in 2003. ''He is an extraordinarily astute politician."
I presume Ms. Thorne was being politic in making these remarks. Surely, she was not this naive?

I guess that is why he missed his interview with BOR the other day.

"She was a phenomenal mother"
I don't know. From what I have seen of her daughters, I haven't been that impressed.
I don't care how old my daughter is. If she had shown up to an event with her boobies showing, I would have given her what for.

FIRST, thoughts and prayers to her family. The question that may be heartless and,to use a recent term, "too soon", but must be asked, is that since her death was caused by a "cell"-related condition, how long will it take for the Left (be it a Democrat or Republican) to ramp up the language about stem-cell research, and to make it a campaign issue (again)?
Especially considering that Ms. Thorne was the wife of one of the most prominent Leftists in our government, and ran as such in his FAILED campaign for president?

The marriage was formally annulled by the Roman Catholic Church in 1997. That's just wrong. The Catholic Church should be ashamed. Eighteen years of marriage invalidated *just like that*.

How very sad. She was not an old woman by any means.

Kerry and Julia. Strangely, their faces resemble each other!
