She seems at peace with what is to be. She's surrounded by the ones she loves, and ready to begin her next journey. Godspeed, Elizabeth. You're a class act.

Re: The good fight
She has taught us many lessons about leading a life with grace and dignity, even in the face of the greatest of challenges. I hope, as she faces this, that the pain is minimized, and that she can spend some quality hours with her children.

I hope that when/if adversity strikes me as it has Ms. Edwards, that I will show as much grace and dignity as she has.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

Re: The good fight ends. RIP, Elizabeth Edwards.
When I was diagnosed in January, I used Elizabeth Edwards as my role model on how to handle the days ahead.
She was a class act. My prayers to her and her family.

Such a sad story, and such a loss to her kids.
