Poor woman. R.I.P.
 
She's been through a lot. Her husband is a cad. RIP
 
Dear sweet lady. G-d rest your soul. Thank you Elizabeth. :frown:
 
Holy Cow, that was quick!

It seemed like it was only a day or two ago that she announced treatments were going to be futile.

RIP to her, and thoughts out to the kids.

I heard yesterday that she had months to live, but perhaps that was a comment made some months ago. I heard she was spending her last days at her home with family and friends.

She seems to have been a remarkable person. I heard a commentary on the radio this evening as I drove home, so I wondered given the tone, if she had passed away.

RIP. Condolences to family and friends.
 
I've never heard of her, of course, since I'm not a resident of the USA, so I had to pull a Google. It's never pleasant to learn of someone expiring, though. My condolences to those who knew her and cared for her.

Anything for press and notoriety. Those loons have no respect for the dead, nor the living who grieve them. Sad.

But on Saturday just five church members (two of them children) showed up to picket, waving hateful signs about Mrs. Edwards and the United Methodist Church where the service was held...

It seems that the "church" has lost its momentum.
