RIP: Elizabeth Edwards

The sad news today is that Elizabeth Edwards has lost her battle with cancer and is dead at the age of 61. May she rest in peace.

I can't do the obituary justice so please click here.

The family released a statement following her death:
Statement of the Edwards Family
Elizabeth Anania Edwards, mother, author, advocate died today at her home in Chapel Hill, surrounded by her family.

Today we have lost the comfort of Elizabeth's presence but she remains the heart of this family.

We love her and will never know anyone more inspiring or full of life.

On behalf of Elizabeth we want to express our gratitude to the thousands of kindred spirits who moved and inspired her along the way. Your support and prayers touched our entire family.
