The death of Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, who sought the Presidency in 2004 and 2008, is a tragic loss to the nation! ๐
She died of cancer, which she fought for six years, and while suffering the humiliation and upset of her husband cheating on her, and fathering a child with another woman.
Elizabeth Edwards was a brilliant lawyer, a tremendous advocate for her husband as he sought the Presidency and ran for Vice President with John Kerry in 2004, and a woman who was a tremendous mother, but also an advocate for the powerless in society!
She could have been a political candidate in her own right, and she will be remembered as one of the most appealing wives of a political candidate that we have seen in our lifetime!
May she rest in peace, and be remembered as a woman of renown and accomplishment, who her children will remember as a loving parent!
