Totally! blessings as the Goddess continues to embrace you Elizabeth.

God bless her and keep her pain free and happy, surrounded by those who love her!
St Peregrine wrap your arms around Elizabeth and guide her along her journey!

Always the lady. Too bad her ex wasn't a gentleman.

Just love. Lots of love for her. The very best. Gods blessings. Be strong Elizabeth.

I just finished reading her book "Resilence." She is a class act. My sister passed away with cancer and this brought back bad memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Elizabeth. She's definitely a classy lady.

May God bless this gracious and truly courageous woman.

A totally classy Lady, an inspiration to all, God Bless.

God bless you Elizabeth, the Lord will "hold you in the hollow of His hand". The world was a richer place because of you and women such as you.

If I can make half the impact on the world that she has I will be a happy woman. She is an inspiration and has been a blessing to this world.

I do believe in miracles and I will continue to pray for one. She has handled this and all the other adversity in her life with such grace. Please God - give us a miracle.

Too good for the "likes" of her husband. A very rare kind of lady.

Francois, I just have one question for you; Who hurt you?

This lady is dying of cancer and all you can spew is word cancer, you must be a very hateful person.

God bless you Elizabeth - may your ending be a peaceful one surrounded by those you love.

Brings back memories of my mother-in-law's own decision to end cancer treatment. Cannot help but cry. May her ending be as good as my mother-in-law's was. :(

God bless you Elizabeth Edwards. Your family is by your side during this time.

God will make certain you hurt no more.

Francois - C'est le temps pour vous partir. Comment osez-vous parler d'elle comme ça ? Vous êtes extrêmement impoli.

Francois - you had better hope there is no hell because if there is you will call it home.

Heaven holds a very special blessing for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth is an inspiration to all people.

It looks like she will move on with grace, dignity, knowing we all know how many people love and support her; Angels are beside her.

What a family tragedy. So much to give, and her ex-husband humiliated presented nothing but humiliation to his wife and sons. He is a chomp.

What will he do when it is over? No one does something like he, and feels no remorse. This may be John Edwards awakening, and his little Mistress Wife may get the boot. What comes around, goes around.

John Edwards is a stinker.

Elizabeth, lady of class, inspiration and mostly love always giving irrespective of her challenges, always strong in her faith. I saw you on the Nate show, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity since being introduced to you during the Kerry presidential campaign. You have survived so much and will leave so many memories on this earth... you have truly made a difference for your family, friends, faith and one more F, followers. God Bless You Elizabeth.

Cancer is a bitch and knows no boundaries. I wish her the best as I have seen enough of this disease in my life. We need to agressively find a cure.

To be given so many hard things to confront in life...let her passing be easy.

No more than a lot of us- BUT she has been placed on earth to be an example and encouragement.

"... she has been placed on earth to be an example and encouragement".

The statement begs the question, an example of what?

- - Is she an example of how far the morals of the USA have fallen?

- - Is she an example of how to "throw-in-the-towel" when encountering difficulty?

- - Are her actions "encouraging" to people who may face similar, seemingly insurmountable obstacles? I think NOT!

* I am sick-and-tired of the United States coddling those who are supposedly worthy of our support & sympathy.

* 2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

Take it somewhere else, Koatz. You clearly are posting just to demonstrate your cynicism. Elizabeth Edwards is guilty only of being too trusting, and no one deserves to get cancer. She has shown remarkable strength in dealing with all these tragedies. And BTW, she did not end her marriage. Her cheating scumbag husband did.

She has risen higher than anything her husband could of ever imagined. It was with sadness that I heard this today. I think though that she knows she is loved by everyone while her husband is now a person loathed and despised.

What a remarkable woman. Grace in the face of diversity.

Only up side of this situation, she will eventually be united
with her son Wade.

God bless Elizabeth and those she loves.

Koatz Elizabeth is not John. When you see people admiring the woman named Elizabeth you are seeing a woman worthy of admiration. What has she done that warrants that admiration? Among other things she is a woman of intellect whose focuse has always been on her family and career, written books, shown grace in ungraceful times and shown that she is a survivor of life.

She is not Jesus, Moses, or John. She is simply Elizabeth, a woman worth admiration in the final days of her life and a life that has touched many. You may require bigger than life for admiration, but a life well lived, a planet left better for having been here, a life lived with grace no matter what life threw at you is a large loss.

What you don't understand, I guarantee you will one day understand.

Indeed! May God grant her continued strength and peace during this her hour of need.

I truly wish her children the best life will have to offer. With knowing that a void as great as losing your mother , the memories that are shared between them will never change. I personally endured that loss as an adult painfully so I cannot imagine being a young child going through such an impending tragedy. I know that LOVE is being surrounded by them throughout all of this and that Elizabeth can truly feel at peace knowing that will continue when she enters into HEAVEN.

Elizabeth is dying of cancer and she has three children who will miss her dearly. She lost her son at age 16. She has had enough tragedy to last a lifetime, and you have decided to pontificate on her worthiness? My goodness you are certainly self-centered if you think we need to hear this from you at this time...

Sorry, But this is not about you...but about Elizabeth dying...get over yourself!

All of you negative people get a life...This is about Elizabeth not John or you...

God bless Elizabeth and her famly. You people need a life...Who cares about John and what he did...That's between her and John not you people...

Having cancer does not make anyone a saint.

May she rest in Peace. Sad news. May her children and loved ones find peace. She is gone but will be missed.

God has called another one of his angels home.

Peace to her family. Bless them all.

Elizabeth Edwards passed away. Peace, and serenity Elizabeth. You will no longer have to endure the past from John Edwards who ruined your life.

Sleep peacefully. Condolences to the family and your wonderful children.

No more pain.

Farewell brave Elizabeth. You were a class act. You are embracing your oldest son in heaven now and are in no more pain. God Bless you.

Rest well.

She lived with courage and dignity. Rest in Peace. My condolences to the ones who remain behind.

flbikerchick. I don't think Koatz posted to show his/her cynicism but to draw attention which many readily supplied.

My heart goes out to her kids and John. This lady seemed like a very nice person and I could only hope more people were like her. This makes me think of my own mortality and how long I have left on this earth. Rest in peace..

If she knew it suggests that she was willing to do almost anything to make it to the White House.

Maybe she loved him, did you ever think of THAT? Infidelity happens, especially among politiciansm who have unique temptations. Not everyone shares YOUR particular values. Not everyone thinks it is automatically grounds for divorce if it happens even once. And not everyone is a jerk who is willing to speak ill of the dead!

for once, i find myself in agreement with you Oom.

Sad news. RIP Elizabeth. Condolences are in order for the entire family, including John.
They taught us a lot.

She sure is and will always be a fine Lady.

My sympathy to her family.

Elizabeth Edwards was a classy lady who lived her life well. She went through adversity with her head held high and showed the world what class looks like. She never whined about her illness or her challenges when she found John had been unfaithful. She taught her children well and showed them that life is for living; love for giving; and compassion for sharing with others. She is a bright light that will be truly missed.

Bless her and her family at this difficult time. I am lucky that I still have my parents and I see them every day - somethng I am appreciating more every day

please always remember..never put a question mark where god puts a period!

So sad!

A truly remarkable woman, who gave the gift of herself to all who knew her or knew of her. Every heart in America is with her family at this time.

mel...Did it ever occur to you that probably Elizabeth kept his infidelity to herself to shield her children? To spare them the public humiliation and hurt of their father's betrayal of their family? Or, she may have had hopes that John might wise up and pull his act together and they could reconcile before she died? I feel so bad for her children. Will they have to live with their father, who didn't care enough about them to even consider their feelings, much less their mother's? I don't feel one iota sorry for John Edwards. He deserves all the shame and guilt he should be feeling. HE was the one salivating for the White House. She stood by him and was loyal to him. Too bad he isn't man enough to have done the same.

What a brave and graceful woman. My blessings go out to her family and children who have lost such a vital part of their lives.

She was able to keep her grace and dignity in the face of troubling events within her family, all the while fighting a courageous battle with a incessant and terrible disease. I hope her family and friends find peace in life that is left behind without her.

Saddening, she was a nice lady and a decent and protective Mother in the face of adversity. To those who take the opportunity to attack her or John Edwards I can only remember a phrase form the 1950s....Have you no decency sir, At long last, have you no decency. May God forgive you.

@Marchant.

You don't know what happened in the lives of that family. No matter what happened, I don't think there is any doubt that he loved her. He is probably greiving as much as the rest of their family.

There are hundreds of courageous woman who die every year who have the same dignity but do not get the same recognition. So when you say a prayer for her then say a prayer for them all.

Elizabeth Edwards was courageous, compassionate and wise. Would that we had put you in the Senate instead of John!

Enjoy your reunion with Wade, Elizabeth. Prayers of comfort for your family. You were an inspiration.

Elizabeth Edwards was an admirable, courageous woman in many respects. She was not only highly educated, but she endured a parent's greatest devastation .. the death of her child. She moved forward and was a driving force behind her good-for-nothing pretty boy philandering husband as he sought national office and stood by him even when she knew he'd cheated on her. Did that make her greedy? Perhaps. But, imagine the public humiliation she and her children faced when pretty boy was exposed.

Now, add aggressive cancer to the mix. When faced with a potential death sentence, a husband who can't keep his pants zipped is the least of your problems.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est.

Her personal integrity, grace and loving ways will be felt in our hearts. WE ALL HAVE THE HOPE TO SEE HER AGAIN IN THE HEREAFTER. MEANWHILE HER ESSENCE WILL REMAIN IN ALL SWEETNES. NOW,, REALLY LIVE IN HEAVEN!!!

Koatz, I don't know if you would claim to be Christian or if you just want to throw them into a bad light; but your comments seem a little odd to me. E.g., accusing Elizabeth of immorality? Implying she gave up when doctors told her there was essentially no chance of curing her cancer? Are you criticizing her for her divorce when even the Bible okays divorce for infidelity? Also, your II Timothy reference is completely off topic as it refers to persecution. Do all these people who feel free to criticize actually know the Edwards?

MAY YOU HAVE PEACE NOW,Elizabeth.....peace,tranquility,no sorrows,no worries,love is enveloping you now...REST...REST......Thank you mam for your contribution to our society and the public in general.........

Elizabeth was the epitome of the word Class! Rest In Peace wonderful lady.

God Bless you Elizabeth and my God keep you in his grace as you make your journey into Heaven. You are a real class act.

Thank you for being the woman, mother, and leader that you are. You and your legacy will live on...

The the son that you so tragically lost is with you now and I'm certain that you both are happy :)

The people here who trash John Edwards for his indescretion apparently are saints. Most of us aren't. Although I was totally disappointed at his actions, it is clear he and Elizabeth found a way to deal with them and move past them. Although they separated (never divorced) he had moved back in to be with her and the children at the end. There is no doubt in my mind that he and Elizabeth shared a love that, in the end, moved past his failures and helped them face her death. My sympathy to him and to their children and friends. She wil be sorely missed.

W. Goin...I agree...Those who judge are doing a great dis-service to this lady and her family. It was her choice to forgive him. She knew that her children would need the support and love of their dad during this sad time and on into the future.

We should respect her wishes and keep our own personal thoughts to ourselves. Let this wonderful lady rest in peace.

think good thoughts and believe. I truly wish you the best.

Jee: God bless you.

As someone with cancer in his family - I wish you a peaceful and loved filled heart.

Thank you for all you gave Sweet Brave Elizabeth. May sweet peace be your journey.

F.P.: What a jerk you are. May you be judged by your callousness.

it takes a truly scummy person to drag politics into a story about someone dying

FP, this means you

Guys like Francois and Koatz (from the thread above) are nothing more than bitter, women-less scumbags who come here solely because it's the only place where anybody pays them any attention. Ignore them and they'll whither up and disappear.

But back on topic, while I never was a supporter of her husband (even before his disgusting infidelities), I can't help but admire the brave way Elizabeth has faced her illness. My prayers to her and her family.

RickBobby--I certainly hope you aren't married. You don't deserve to have any women in your life. What outrageous an thing to say. "In sickness and in health..."

Jee, Im so glad that you have the insight that you do. The last 20 months have brought two losses in my life that I will not bore you with. having said that may I suggest that you continue to love, laugh, and make memories. Godspeed.

Rest In Peace Classy Lady

I to have cancer and am goimg through treatment now. The is my third form of cancer and second time going through chemo. I was first diagnosed in 2005, this has been a lond struggle. This story has helped me see that I need to stay strong and have hope. I to have a great sapport sysytem. I have been having a harder time emotionally this time than in the past so even though I did not know Elizabeth her story has enspired me to stay strong. Thank You and God Bless the Edwards family for sharing this story and enspiring others.

Amber K (35)

Amber: I do not know you but please know I will keep you in my prayers. Please keep up your hope and faith and believe in miracles. I wish you courage and good health. Nine years ago I was diagnosed with thryoid cancer. I am fine now but each year when I return for my checkup I pray that cancer (if it is not gone) will continue to sleep. I thank God for every good checkup. I wish the same for you. Keep the faith.

Amber K...you inspire me! Stay strong and I will keep you in my prayers.

I do not know you, I even do not know your face and I do not have cancer... but I wish you the best and sincerely hoping you will win and be healthy again!!! I love your positive attitude... so graceful... you can be proud of who you are!! Never give up!! I send to you a friendly UGE HUG!!! Laure.

Jee- I will pray for you to over come your cancer and you will get better. As for Mrs. Edwards, She was a brave and strong woman. While I also don't agree with what John did, I am glad to read he was by her side to the very end. I know that she will be missed by her family but tonight she gets to sit with her son at the Lord's table. God Bless the Edwards family and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

To Francois and RickyBobby,

Your mother's must be so proud to have raised such caring and good people (insert sarcasm) Seriously, you two are the scum of the earth. Your trolling means nothing here so why don't you both go take a nap or go to the penny candy store or something.

Robin: Andre Rieu is a conductor of an international orchestra and singers. But, like you, I don't see WHAT that has to do with Elizabeth Edwards and your comment. Francios makes no sense whatesoever. If he/she was trying to be clever.....he/she missed the target. You got it right...what a dumbassity.

HEY, maybe Francios is John Edwards consort posting under a fictitious moniker?

thanks for the heads up. No wonder I didn't know. Not my cup of tea it doesn't sound like. I got what he was implying though. Funny, now my post was collapsed. I was just giving the ahole a dose of his own venom. But oh well. Glad you got the dummassity part! :-)

I don't think John Edwards is that callous. He might be a jerk who was easily misled by his own shortcomings but Elizabeth loved him and she forgave him. I think I can take her lead and let it all go and move on without worrying about him ever again. Her teaching on the stage of life was to do just that. To honor her is to get what grace is all about.

I just wish we didn't have to hear anything about him or his life from here on out but we know inquiring minds want to know so because of that--there'll never be a end to hearing about John Edwards and his bad or good decisions from here on out. What a sick society we are.

God bless you Mrs. Edwards, you have indeed been a positive influence in this world.

I may be on the other side of the isle politically. To fight the battles on two fronts Elizabeth has and continues to fight. May her remaining time in this life be filled with peace, joy and the love of family. May the lords light shine upon her and fill her with his grace. So she may find everlasting peace.

God bless Elizabeth.

I took care of a man's wife. He had cancer of the colon and liver, and he was still alive, after five years, even though his wife died.

Well said, may she find peace in the Lord's arms.

TDUB: the woman was diagnosed with cancer in 2004, went thru surgery and chemo. It reoccurred and but, she kept campaigning and supporting him in his quest while she was undergoing treatment and his pay back was to have an affair. And, you want to blame her? No, he was a weak, kneed jerk during a time he should have been supporting her,

"Sure he cheated......... too often women forget to do their part and get mad when someone else does it for them."

It appears to me you're confused about who forgot to do their part.

It totally blows me away when someone blames the woman for a cheating husband. Or blames a man for a cheating wife. We are all responsible for our own decisions and behaviors. Regardless of whether she "forgot" to do her part, HE had no business finding someone else! What a despicable attitude!

God be with you, Elizabeth, and with your family.

TDub - Speaking of self-control, why don't you exercise some here. The final stage of cancer is so incredibly horrible and to make a negative post is the lowest, crudest behavior imaginable.

I totally agree with you, these people who are making all these negative comments are as low as they come, especially in the Edwards family in time of need. I pray thay our Lord and Savior will comfort her entire family and friends and fans. I do also pray the "He" will let this time be pain free and quick. May the Lord continue to bless this blog site and the entire Edwards family and friends.

Ms. Edwards role in her marriage has been analyzed by much more professional people than you, she has been open and honest on Oprah, her book, and other persons she has interviewed with. Marital dysfunction is never one person's fault, however, it does not give one the excuse while in a legal relationship to default. In a time where Divorce is not looked down upon as it was "Pre-sixties mentality," John Edwards could have shown his family and children the "RESPECT" they deserved by leaving his wife and filing for a divorce. However, he wanted it all; the educated, beautiful, feminist wife, the family, successful career, run for the Presidency, and a younger, less intelligent, clinging girlfriend to pump up his obvious low self-esteem. The worst part of this scenario is that she wasn't the one who ran for President. Elizabeth through a life-threatening ordeal tried to maintain her dignity with someone despite his education is clueless as to how to spell, use or comprehend the word! Elizabeth Edwards has endured the unbearable for a woman, she lost a child, has fought Cancer, been embarassed and humiliated by a man she loved, and then, hurt again by the birth of his illigitimate child, and the countless media publications that explore and exploit "the other woman." My heart goes out to Elizabeth, she will be sorely missed by many women who have shared much of her sorrow. My prayers are with her children.

LadyRev, I don't know what happened in the Edwards house. I hate bringing this up on this thread, but so be it. To begin with, I don't have these problems. I'm the sounding board. I have a friend, great, great guy. 18 months ago his wife locked him out of the bedroom. Literally. He lives in a different part of the house. He has suggested counseling and doesn't know what's wrong. He has been without a marriage for 18 months. Another friend went from making about 200K per year to 100K per year during the recession. He took a second job to make ends meet. He too has been cut off from his wife. She's frustrated that her friends husbands make more. All I'm saying is without knowing don't be too quick to blame. God bless Mrs. Edwards.

WhoopT, I didn't make a negative post. I responded to one.

TDub: sounds like you have a personal horse in this race. Trying to justify your own infidelity? I think you chose the wrong thread. An now, like a miserable drunk spouting foolishness at the sickbed, I'll politely ignore you.

Tis true about marriage taking two. I'm not here to question who was at fault in theirs. I think it's pretty obvious Elizabeth understood her husband a lot more than many would want to or admit they did. They lost a child. In that, marriages suffer. I know my feelings about Elizabeth are personal in that many of my family members have died of breast cancer. I have born witness to this tragedy too many times. I have friends who have tragically lost their child or children at young ages or far before they were to have an adult life. I have friends, both men and women who have cheated on their SO's and for varying reasons, right or wrong, who was at fault doesn't matter. They healed and grew from their experiences no matter the ending. Elizabeth lived thru this for good and bad times. She may have lived a life on stage but all this happened on stage and she confronted it all head on. What's not to admire about courage?. She's courageous and brave and I wanted to give thanks for that in my own way. (we are all well aware she'll not hear us but its the energy thing and a respect of it.) I do hope her journey is of peace. I had nothing else to offer in the way of a nice religious remark as I don't believe in life/death the way many posting here today do. Even most bullies can understand that unless of course they have the maturation level of a 5 year old.

Thanks for collapsing the jerkwad. I read most of his posts. The guy's a drive-by troller who spouts the same stuff whereever he goes. He's just a bully. I said what I said AFTER I read him to give him a shot at his own poison arrows. (rat's ass and losers are his regular terms to everyone he's remarked to at the NV. oh, I guess I could have thrown in imbecile and a few other expletives to really capture his failing attempts at wisdom.) There is no benefit from a person like this. Best to just put him on ignore if he decides to grace us with his toxic BS again. He's a drive-byer, so I don't expect much. But, we will see. Bullies typically can't stand not getting in the last word. ;-)

Oops, I misspoke. There IS too a benefit when confronted by bullies like Francois Troublemaker. They teach us what we never want to be. In that, there's good and quite possibly, purpose. He's an Eddy Haskell on crack.

TDub- I'm sorry your friends are going through such terrible marital problems. If they are remaining faithful, I applaud them! I believe there is still no excuse for infidelity. 2 wrongs don't make it right. Perhaps, instead of seeking counseling, they should be seeking a Legal Seperation and move on. It negates the need for lies and secrecy in an already tenuous situation. My prayers are with these fellows. Dump these self-indulgent women and move on.

He's an Eddy Haskell on crack.

Hey, old Eddie has done alright. I believe he's a retired cop now, and does lots of community good.

Seriously!? Ken Osmond was never a bully-- but he played one TV.

Yeah, I think he was a motorcycle cop in SoCal for a few years. Think he has an eating establishment somewhere, too~~

I am shocked that she has passed on so quickly, since yesterday's announcement. Blessings to her family during this terrible time.

SHAME on you Francois!

@!$%# off francois.

I think Francois is baiting everyone for a response. Just ignore him/her.

I never liked John Edwards from the start. He always seemed like a phony to me, with that contrived toothy smile and slick talk. However, I have the highest regard for his wife, Elizabeth, who still comes across as a classy lady despite the garbage of a husband she chose as a life partner.

There is always one in a crowd. Being a "Francois" says it all.

Yes- for heavens' sake- this will be read by thier children! Think!

Francois,

Let me hazard a guess. You and Rielle mus be doing the vulture dance....

Of course they are. Lowest form of human consciousness. Unfortunately, these kind of vultures are a part of our reality.

It's called 'Death Trolling' and it's the lowest of the low.

What, and you can run the 201k marathon on water or something, frenchy? Nobody's perfect and walks on water, case in point, your dumbass posts.

Francois, move on you troll! Living in NC gave me another perspective about Elizabeth, but God be with her now. There is no point in trying to disparage her many good works now. So LAY OFF! Let her rest in peace now and you go hide under the bridge, where you belong! Her poor children are grieving, and so is John!

Francisco - you've spent a lot of time making hateful comments on this thread. You're that lonely and in need of attention? It appears so. I can't imagine what a twisted place your mind is. Oh, you succeeded in angering me so you can feel fulfilled. Maybe you can set a kitten on fire and get some sexual satisfaction as well.

Francois is the latest troll to hit Newsvine. It has been on several articles causing grief...........

I'm sure he's thrilled at the responses. What a hatefilled miserable jerk.

I'm okay with losing a day at the vine for stating that truth.

You are the tool! Judge not .... and politicize not.

I hope she is comforted by those around her 'till the end.

Francois...your heartless. She is sick. This is what is about. Praying for the sick...keeping positive thoughts.

Francois Profitendieu-Be nice, just because her husband is a slimeball dosn't mean you get to bitch out a sick woman.Have a heart and show some compassion.

Francois - I am visually impaired. I got your name wrong when I said what a miserable, twisted excuse for a human being you are. My apologies.

FP - you clearly are a sick, dememted person. Elizabeth Edwards was a woman of class and integrity. You clearly possess neither.

God bless you as well Noel.

I'm sorry. There is so much pain in the world.

Noel Park:

My sincere condolences on the loss of your dear wife. She had you by her side, during the most trying time in her life. That is what a good partner does. Support, admiration, great love, sacrifice, giving one's self up for years to protect their true love, standing behind them in life's most difficult end...

Most people don't have this kind of companion, husband, or partner in their life. You were truly blessed. So was she.

Mt prayers go to her children. My husband of 44 years passed away in September from cancer.

I work in hospice too and truly hope Elizabeth is getting the comfort care that she needs. I wish her safe passage and send her my thanks for allowing us all to witness her grace in adversity. May God bless her.

My father suffered with cancer and when it was time to call upon Hospice...all I can say is that the nurses who tended him were wonderfull. They gave us the knowledge of what to expect as he moved toward his next live with the Lord. Knowledge is power. God Bless the Edwards family during this time.

The Nurses, Doctors, and Staff at Hospices are gentle souls. All of you are exceptional. Thank you for giving families comfort, hope, and support.

I always knew when a person had passed away. The Hospice Staff left a candle burning in their room in rememberance. Everyone who stays there is an important patient and person.

Thank you so much for making the end of life easier for all. Gratefully yours.

We lost our father earlier this year after his long battle with a debilitating stroke and cancer. His last days and our time with him were made more comfortable by the loving people (nurses, doctors and staff) from the local Hospice. Our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Elizabeth at what I know, firsthand, is a heartwrenching time in their own lives. God be with you, and all those experiencing similar struggles in life/death.

I lost my mom to lung cancer a year ago and in her last few weeks, she was tended by wonderful Hospice nurses. She was transported to the Hospice care facility when her illness put her in the final comatose state. She was handled so gently and lovingly by these special nurses and they were all so kind to my sisters and me while mom drifted away.

It takes a special person to choose this career because it always ends with the death of a client. Please support your local Hospice with donations in the name of your loved one.

god bless this wonderful lady, and such class she has. i lost my cousin at 49 to breast cancer. she had class the same way. we love you lizabeth. may you pull through this with the grace, and class you have. we all love you. and your family.!!! i know you will beat this elizabeth.!!!

My Mom's prayers have interceded for me- she would call two churches, which also is 400 people besides her praying- I got over so many problems- the last one, was shingles on my nose! I got no blisters, though- it did not get awful - though had terrible face and a head of pain and twisted my glasses into a pretzel before just puting them down- But I only had it for a week! Because of prayer from her and my family to God.

(sigh) This is such a sad story, for so many reasons. What a courageous lady, and what a truly sad ending. My own mom died in a similar story involving cancer.

But, I'll never understand why bible-thumpers always, CONSTANTLY, have to come into stories like these, and use them for a soapbox to start pounding their ridiculous, mythical cult nonsense into everyone... pray this, and bless that... criminy! have some self-esteem. enough already!

Agreed--she fought worse battles, and at least this one, she went out her way, and that's admirable.

RIP Elizabeth...

What an ugly thing to say. Actually anyone who truly believes in prayer has prayed that she would be without pain and happy and that is what she is experiencing now. She is at peace!

RIP Elizabeth.
