I truly admired and respected Elizabeth's fortitude, class and courage and am very saddened by her death today at the age of 61 from cancer. No matter what side of the aisle you are on, I think we can all agree that Elizabeth Edwards was truly a beautiful person and an inspiration to us all. :rip: Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Edwards Dies at Age 61

Elizabeth Edwards died Tuesday after a six-year battle with breast cancer, The Associated Press and ABC News reported. She was 61.

On Monday her family announced that Edwards, who was briefly hospitalized over the Thanksgiving holiday, had stopped all cancer treatment.

She had been resting at home surrounded by family and friends.

Edwards, the estranged wife of John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator and one-time presidential candidate, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004.
She recently wrote a message on her Facebook page that would end up being a farewell.

"You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope," she wrote. "These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined."

I didn't notice that today. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I agree, many things transcend politics. This is absolutely one of them. I hope and pray her family is comforted through the holidays especially.
