What a classy woman. She was dealt a tough hand many times over, but faced it all with grace. Rest in peace.

It amazes me that she passed so quickly after they chose to stop treatment (I think last week). It was the same with my mom.
May she find her peace.

What a sad, sad story. I hope she was at peace and with family at the end. I can't even imagine living out my last days in such a public and disgraceful way that her husband put her through.

My wife was saying the same thing. I had to remind her, that Cancer is only slow when you are trying to fight the disease. Same happened with members of my family and friends, after they ended treatment it was quick.

A classy lady who held her head high despite her husband being the scum of the earth.
You will be missed, Ms. Edwards.

It really just depends on how bad she was when they decided to stop treatment. When the doctor said that there was nothing else they could do for my mom, he said that once she started "hospice" care, it would only be 24-48 hours. That was emphysema though, not cancer. When they were saying on the news this morning that her family were all with her, I figured it wouldn't be long.

I just heard yesterday that Ellizabeth wasn't expected to live long - and thought, "Wow, she looks great for giving up treatment!" But maybe it was an old clip.
She always seemed so gracious and energetic on the campaign trail - what that must have cost her physically. May she finally have peace.

When I saw on WRAL.com last night that her health had deteoriated, I knew it wasn't going to be long.
She was such a strong and inspirational woman. She did a lot for the state of North Carolina. She will be so very, very missed!

Don't know how reliable this is, but supposedly the bimbo has been planning the wedding while John sat at Elizabeth's bedside: http://www.associatedcontent.com/art...ing.html?cat=2
If that's true, sick f***ing bitch.

That doesn't sound very reliable to me...
In a photo of her from September, she still looked pretty good. I suspect that the family knew this was a long time coming and didn't want to have a "deathwatch" by announcing that it was only a matter of time weeks ago. Also, while she died yesterday morning, the family spokesman didn't release a statement until early evening. That way, they avoided the circus and got to have that last time together privately. I can't imagine what they're all going through.

Ditto this! She was a very nice lady who obviously loved her family.
