I had the good fortune not only to meet Elizabeth Edwards during the last presidential campaign, but to speak with her for a few minutes as well. I found her to be a warm, yet fierce, woman. She was determined about what she wanted for this country, and absolute in her desire to keep working toward that goal. I said to her at the time: "I wish you were the Edwards running for president" -- and I meant it!
An avid fan of new media, Elizabeth posted this to her Facebook page on Monday: “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 added: “The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that.”
Condolences to her family and close friends. And may you rest in peace, Elizabeth.
