elizabeth was an inspiration to women of all ages, for her courage in health and personal issues. god bless and keep her children safe, healthy and happy.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Edward family. There is nothing like a Mom and she cannot never be replaced. John, your children will walk in her image. She has left a legacy for them. May the Edward family be blessed and may God watch over them each and everyday for the rest of their lives on this earth.

I never met Elizabeth, but I was so saddened by her passing that my heart got a catch in it and I began to cry. I told my sister who had not heard and she started to cry , too. It was our consensus that Elizabeth died of a broken heart and had lost the will to live. Rest in peace, Elizabeth, no more suffering, no more hurt, no more pain. cbjack

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to the family of Elizabeth's family and friends. I understand no words, advice or comfort may releive your pain and sorrow. Remember the good times when you are able,they are stored in the wonderful place we call memories. I understand your loss and the pain of watching a loved one suffer from cancer. My wife of 18 years passed away in "03" from breast cancer and she fought it for six years as well. She left behind three daughters. May the the good lord bestow peace and love upon the family during this time of sorrow and bring Elizabeth home to dwell in heaven forever.

I am sad for Elizabeth's passing. She not only showed us how to live, and enjoy life despite what comes along, she taught us how to die. My heart and prayers go out to her children. She will always be with them in spirit.

To the family of Elizabeth: May God grant you peace and bless you today and always. I was trully hoping for Elizabeth's recuperation. Death is a mystery and so difficult to understand, may God helps us to accept it. Rest in Peace Elizabeth. Sincerely Cruz Sanchez Reyez, from San Juan, PR

The loss of a mother is a wound that never heals. The scar stays with her loved ones for the rest of their lives. Death's river is one, that one day, we will all have to cross. Will we have the courage she put forth to the world? What a comfort it must have been for her to know that she would be leaving her two young children in her daughter's arms to help them grow up and carry the torch of hope and pride that she had instilled in her oldest daughter. While tears will be shed for this wonderful woman, tears will wash away the pain of watching their mother's suffering while she put up a fantastic front with all the sorrows she had endured in her life. The loved ones she lives behind will cerish her legacy. Even in death's final blow, her smile and her wisdom lives on. May we as human beings throughout this world, learn a lesson from her life. A lesson of forgiveness to all who have wronged us and courage to face uncertain days ahead with a positive attitude.

In my heart I knew last night when the comment said she was home resting, turned to my boyfriend and said she will soon pass. I get back from my mini vacation my mom told me that she passed. She was a strong women, with some great amazing children, in my heart goes to the ones left behind. And to her family, Her sprits is there guiding you threw life and days.

I'm impressed by the grace and dignity that Elizabeth Edwards showed throughout her illness and the ordeal with John Edwards. Best wishes to her family. What a lovely woman.

To the family of Elizabeth Edwards: How blessed you all were to have had such a wonderful mother, daughter and sister. She was an accomplished individual, both professionally and personally. She was the perfect example of grace in action. She leaves the world a beautiful legacy in her children. Now, she is free of pain and in a better place. My deepest sympathy to all of Elizabeth Edwards' family. Sincerely, Eileen Slade, Midlothian, VA.
