Elizabeth Edwards, Wife of Politician John Edwards, Succumbs to Cancer, Age 61

By Douglas V. Gibbs

This morning doctors determined Mrs. Edwards had but weeks to live. Before the day was out, however, family members of Elizabeth Edwards reported that she had died of cancer. She was 61.

At first I wished to hammer on John Edwards about this, saying things like that he deserves the pain he is going through for cheating on his wife like he did. But, in the end, I actually feel sorry for the man. My heart especially goes out to Elizabeth, and the ones who loved her.

May she rest in peace.
