Elizabeth Edwards has lost her battle with breast cancer:

She was truly an amazing woman. Unfortunately, lots of spouses cheat on their ailing mates. It is a sad reality that for her was so public. I find her strength and her ability to actually LEAVE him amazing, so many political wives are bullied into staying. She was truly brave in many ways.

I liked her so much better than John. She and her family did a lot of charitable work. I hope provisions were made to continue that work.

May she rest in peace.

I admired her for many reasons. She was so very down to Earth to Me.. whether she was speaking of her marriage ending.. or the battle she fought against the cancer that overtook her.. or her family and friends that she loved fiercely... or the causes she championed and poured her heart into... she was a true lady.

I agree with Gemme, I hope they have made provisions to keep her charitable work alive.

May she now find comfort and solace.

She fought a brave and valiant fight but once cancer gets into your bones it's a hard thing to fight off. May she rest in peace.

I have admired her for years, and feel so sad over her death.
I hope her family, including her errant husband will find peace.

A life filled with personal struggles and challenges yet a class act to the end. I was saddened yesterday to hear the end was near for her and my prayers go out to her loved ones.

Elizabeth Edwards endured what I consider the most difficult thing in life and that is the death of your child. She took her greiving and healing process into a venue many nary to venture. She wrote a book to share the depth of pain that had been brought to them. She then lost her valiant battle with cancer. She had lost her husband to another woman. This was a woman of true resilience (also the title of her book). Only she, John and God know if they reached a peaceful, final parting. Learning of her grace and dignity in the face of gloom my guess is that she left this earth as a serene and peaceful soul. I imagine she died like she lived.

Rest in peace, Elizabeth. Your voice shall be missed.
