Her spouse was at her side. Could there be a big inheritance in this picture?

He probably wanted to be there for his kids, not to mention they were married for a long time at least at one point he loved her and I can't imagine he wanted her to die. Anyway, she was a fine woman who showed a lot of strength when she was hurting the most. My prayers go out to her kids and other family members.

That was nice Mary1; I tend to agree.

Classy lady.

Both John and Elizabeth put their children first. They were still a family, no matter what. My heart breaks for all of them. Our world has lost a wonderful woman.

If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention it to them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift.

~ Elizabeth Edwards

Words like those are the mark of a person who has a deep understanding of life -- and of how to help people get through the painful parts of it. She would have made a great first lady.

I agree with Wendy. Elizabeth Edwards was a classy lady. I just read that members of the Westboro Baptist Church were planning on picketing at her funeral.

I heard that too, Vicki. I think we need to keep track of when any of their membership dies and picket the funeral.

I would rather see a crowd of wonderful people gather in front of the Westboro picketers to sing hymns of love and forgiveness. Let a chorus of beautiful voices drown out the ugly shouts; let a congregation of loving people block out the band of ugly haters.

No arguments, no confrontation. Simply a very peaceful demonstration of God's true grace. That's the most effective weapon against Westboro.

Maybe a bunch of us CULPERTS should attend...

I agree she put the kids first, he, on the other hand destroyed their family for his own selfishness.
