The poor woman.  There have been too many deaths in Congress this year, I hope this isn't the next before the end of the year.

That's really too bad.  She seems like a nice lady.

This is tragic news for the Carson family. I hope she can achieve a miraculous recovery.

I hope her final days are peaceful and filled with family and friends.  Is she going to announce her retirement soon as well?

How sad. It'd be a real shame for a fourth member to die from cancer.

However (and I know this may sound a little callous), she really should retire. This district has gone far too long with a part time Congressmember.

It's indeed a shame maybe she will pull through though?

Not sure what to say. (I mean, what do you say to someone who knows that you know they're about to die?)

Wish them the best and that it's not painful.

It's cancer. Cancer deaths are painful.

My thoughts go out to the family and her. She really did a lot of good things for her state and the nation.
