To all the family, I wish to send you my condolences. Elizabeth’s passing hits very close to home as my mom died from the same cancer 13 months ago to the day and she had many similarities with your mother including an incredible strength of character. I wish you all peace and comfort during this hard time and in every step you take in the future.
Mrs Edwards, may you now rest in peace with no more suffering. You will always be a very special lady in the eyes of the American public with that beautiful smile and personality. You held your head up high through allot of turmoil these past few years and that makes you number 1 in the eyes of us all. sleep well fair lady and god bless
My heart goes out to Sen. Edwards’s and his family during this deep loss they are experiencing. You are in my prayers. God bless you is my prayer. My mother also died of cancer when I was the same age as Cate. It is such a loss.
To the Edwards Children,
I just want you to know you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. But always know that the love of your mother will live in your hearts for eternity.

She inspired a nation, a world, a gender, a movement.. She made me proud to be a woman, a survivor, to be ALIVE..RestInBlessedPeace, you are much loved & missed Miss Elizabeth
I learned so much from Elizabeth Edwards. Her grace, courage and true inner beauty is an inspiration to me. I could hear her voice as I read her book. She and her family are in my prayers and thoughts.
I am just so at a loss… Feel like I lost a sister… I learned so very much from Ms. Edwards yet never had a chance to tell her… Knowing what a gracious and giving person she was, I hope that I can continue my work (domestic violence) helping woman to make better choices for them and their families…
We all must continue the “Sisterhood” in her honor and be there for one another…
To Ms. Edwards children, no one can and will ever replace your Mom… Know that she is with you everyday in spirit..
My thoughts regarding Mr. Edwards I will keep private for his childrens sake…
why would you bring up something that is not your business mrs Edwards forgave him and thats all you need to know rip ms Edwards you were one great woman pay no attention to selfish and nonsense remarks from small people Edwards family
I did not know Elizabeth personally but I am so inspired by her poise and grace through everything!! She is the epitome of a strong and beautiful woman!! You are now at peace and your legacy will live on forever!!!
My dear wife’s last 4 years mirrored Elizabeth Edward life.
She had breast cancer that eventually turned to bone and liver cancer.
I feel very deeply your pain, it will eventually heal in time.
Rest in peace Elizabeth Edwards
To the Edwards family, thank you for creating a place for those of us who loved and admired Elizabeth to come and honor her. I never knew her personally, bet felt like I did. She touched me in a way I cannot explain. Her loving tribute to Wade in Saving Graces was written as only a mother could write. The love she had for her family was clear. She is an inspiration to me and others, and I have learned so much from watching and listening to her. It’s hard to explain the deep sadness I feel for someone I did not know. To her family, I wish you love and peace in the coming days.
I did not know her but she is an inspiration to women everywhere. She handled everything with such grace and was so brave. My heart goes out to her children know your mother inspired many women with her widom, grace, and honesty.May God bess you all, rest in peace Elizabeth with your son.
I only met Elizabeth through the reading of her books. Her words moved me deeply and have often sustained me through difficult times. I wish I could have known her personally.
My deepest condolences to her family during this very sad time. I hope you are able to find comfort in how much hope, love, faith and courage she brought to the life of one reader.
It is such a strange thing when someone that you know only through the media reports, effects you such a way, that their passing devastates you. Elizabeth had a light about her that can only be explained as heavenly. She was not only an extraordiary woman, but also human being. RIP Elizabeth.
I did not know Elizabeth personally but this has truly effected me with such sadness. She had so many hardships in her life and a very tragic ending. I hope her family gets a little comfort knowing she is with her son. I admire her for her strength and courage all these years and how she stood by her husband after everything that happened. She is definently a role model for all of us to learn not to judge, but to love and respect one another. May god bless and watch over the family in this horrible tragic time. My prayers will always be with you. <3
I didn’t know Elizabeth personally, but I almost felt like I did know her after reading her books. She is absolutely refreshing in her honesty and optimism. She made such an impact on my life. And if I ever find myself in similar situations, I pray I could handle myself with the same amount of courage and grace. Her family was truly blessed to have her.
Well done, good and faithful servant!
How saddened I was to hear about the death of Elizabeth Edwards. I never knew her personally, but did follow her. She was such a strong and determined person. Elizabeth touched many hearts and gave us the courage to push forward during hard times. May she rest in peace.
I was fortunate and honored to read resilience. In my opinion it was a book written from the heart. It helped me be accepting of bad situations. It just confirms how strong women are and we just don’t know it. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your strength.
I know you are happy in heaven with your son Wade in eternal life.

And to the family, It was a true pleasure knowing Elizabeth, and the joy in knowing that every time I saw her I couldn’t help but smile.

Elizabeth, I admire your ability to sustain your passion for what is important to you, while most people’s passion dims or fades.
You inspire me still . . .to rekindle my passion to make the right to health care real in the United States.
