She deserved a better outcome.

May she and her loved ones have peace. She showed herself to be a class act.

From everything I read and heard about her I think dignity is the adjective that comes to my mind. We could use more people like her in this world.

So sad - may she rest in peace.

She was in one of my classes when I was in school in Chapel Hill, N.C. What I remember back then was that she was intimidatingly bright, and very friendly.
Rest in peace dear lady.

Only the good die young.

Talk about a contrast in character...I just had CNN on, Larry King's show led with the Elizabeth Edwards story. He played video of her on his show taped after she and John had split, and she was saying she kind of cringed thinking about her time of dying being a time John Edwards would be pasted for his shortcomings. She opined that he had to answer for his errors, but he had to remain a good father in his kid's eyes, and she said that he had been a very good father in so many ways.

Cut to commercial and with the next segment on comes Wesley Snipes and his lawyer (dressed like a pimp or gangster), Snipes whining that he will not be allowed to stay out of jail a few more weeks for tax fraud, so he could spend Christmas with his kids and family, "to get them ready" for his being sent to (I suspect a cushy pen) somewhere for a few years, how he was framed/mistreated/victimized, etc, blahblahblah. Never mind he has known for weeks that he will be reporting to jail...

One lady faces her premature mortality and remains so dignified and one man whines as he has to serve his time for being a cheat. I had to turn the wackyvision off.

To John Edwards......"The supply of good women far exceeds that of men who deserve them."

Just when you thought those arsehats couldn't stoop any lower.........

"A church that pickets funerals to protest what it calls American immorality says its members will be picketing the service this Saturday for Elizabeth Edwards, who died of breast cancer on Tuesday.

Based in Topeka, Kan., the Westboro Baptist Church said it would be outside the Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, N.C., during the funeral for the former wife of one-time vice presidential candidate John Edwards.

Westboro members, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, have also picketed military funerals to make their point that U.S. deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are punishment for Americans' immorality, including tolerance of homosexuality and abortion.

Signs like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" have been raised at military funerals, and the church announced its latest action with a press release titled "God hates Elizabeth Edwards."
