Elizabeth Edwards has died of cancer, NBC News has confirmed. She was 61. Gravely ill with cancer that no longer responded to treatment, Elizabeth Edwards was reportedly not in any pain and was surrounded by family and friends, including her estranged husband, at home in North Carolina. When rumors began to circulate that she had taken a turn for the worse, Edwards’ family announced Monday that her doctors had recommended against any additional treatment. “Elizabeth has been advised by her doctors that further treatment of her cancer would be unproductive,” said the statement her family provided to NBC News. “She is resting at home with family and friends.” John Edwards, from whom Elizabeth Edwards separated last year after he acknowledged fathering a child with a former aide to his unsuccessful vice presidential campaign, was with his wife and their three children: Cate, 28; Emma, 12; and Jack, 10.

Sad.

What? You didn't create a new 'ping list' for this topic. I'm disappointed.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
You just can't help yourself from using every opportunity, and especially this thread, to prove you are a pig.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
I hope her kids don't associate year end holidays with the passing of their mother.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I was reading about her yesterday, and how brave she was holding up for her family, I know she had to be afraid but she didn't show it, I can only pray that when my time comes to go, I do it with half as much dignity, grace, and courage as this lady. God Bless You, Elizabeth Edwards, RIP!

a woman of no importance whatsoever.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
When first discovered, her tumor was 9 cm, giving her a very poor long-term diagnosis. Yet another sad reminder of the importance of early detection, regular mammographies or MRIs. Someday we'll put an end to a terrible disease that strikes one in eight women.
You recognize a fighter and that is good Mammy. She got maximum coverage on the nightly news tonight.
Yep.

Sez O-pee, as he does more cranky attention flapping his tongue as if it were a wanker to pull on. We are all important on many level my little fascism groupie, even you. Suffice it to say, your post proves the opposite. Because she was important enough for you to try to reach out to punish people here for being human and showing love to a wonderful mother, wife and American who died with class, grace, and who suffered when her husband betrayed their wedding vows. It won't work. Your post fails its alleged intended purposes. And in the spirit of this woman's life, have a good Yule holiday, my fine feathered operative.
My Mom died of cancer 1 April 2002. She was in the middle of her third chemo session when the doctor came in her room in the hospital in Portland, OR and said, "Beverly, go home to Eugene." It was over. She and I did not get along. And as the oldest who with my sister Linda who she tried to punish for taking the role of calling bullshit on her alcoholism as we tried to shield our younger siblings from her angers and resentments, we were shunned and hated by her. Which meant she had deep love for us that no longer emminated from her in the right way. It took a long time to let go of my angers and to find love and to forgive her, and Linda too died the next year also from cancer. None of us get out of here alive. And we all have to realize that the key point to our collective purpose for being here is not ultimately to loathe and hate each other; but to find love and forgiveness. Even for ourselves; as none of us are perfect. And we all make mistakes and are human. We should honor her by remembering the spirit we all are supposed to have in this time of year and to take pause and to try to be a little kinder to one another, and to focus on remembering when lashing out at others, we too have the natural flaws of humanity and to not take ourselves too seriously. Attacking is easy. Hatred is an incredible intoxicant that helps us forget our own baggage. In honor of her and many people like this wonderful Mom, wife and citizen of this country we all love we should plant some seeds of hope and love. Even toward those we normally fight will. Cheers.
you're a good Christian humanist, Rodent. I used to think you were an eco-fascist, but you're just another moderate.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
Likewise, I'm sure.
sorry, rodent, I don't look at the world through middle-class spectacles I inherited from my mother.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
how many women died of cancer yesterday? wait, you're not mourning them too? Just the stupid, lawyer hag who waited too long to have kids to hold her philandering husabdn and brought the cancer on herself?
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
And here you are protesting too much. I know what that means, even if you claim you do not.
not at all rodent. I'm always annoyed when retards who watch too much tv get worked up when some random celeb passes. especially a bitch like edwards wife.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
Oviously this death is iconic of collective caring about the larger picture of all deaths like hers. And obviously you have a predilection toward the end of being Scrooge which compels you to bait and mock. ;-D
obviously the media is making a big thing out of it so the deluded cattle think it's a big deal. but no one would care, if the media didn't make a racket about it. And no, Rodent I don't despise, everyone. mainly your generation with it's so called left/right and their/your attempts to ruin the world, for future generations. A man just naturally gets annoyed at such scenes.
Long live the Taliban Freedom Fighters!
Nice post Mike.
At least he's not a rank hypocrite. You can't say the same.

Thank you go65, I hope that you and yours have a great holiday season.
Isn't she the woman who supported mass baby murder. Yes she was. Good riddance.
Nice post Mike. You have a good heart. Have a good CHRISTMAS!
You have a great Yule season too Stone. Don't work too hard. These are the times you will treasure when you are closer to my age range when you look back on the years your kids were growing up. Good luck, and don't work too hard.
It took a long time to let go of my angers and to find love and to forgive her, and Linda too died the next year also from cancer. The opposite of love isn't hate, it is indifference. It took me a long time too. You are a wise guy in the best sense.
