Elizabeth Edwards dead at 61
Read Time:45 Second
A day after the news that doctors were stopping treatment of her breast cancer, Elizabeth Edwards died this morning in North Carolina at age 61. “Today we have lost the comfort of Elizabeth’s presence but she remains the heart of this family,” said a family statement. Estranged husband John and other family members and friends had gathered in recent days.
“The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered,” Edwards wrote on Facebook yesterday. “We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren’t able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It’s called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.”

A loss for all concerned. Now John will be responsible for raising those children. What a great example he is….
I always liked her and thought she should run for office. Cancer just takes the best people, way too young IMO.
A gracious woman has passed from this earth well before her time.
