    I certainly wasn't expecting it to be just one day after they announced they were going to stop treatment!

    Just saw it. Had committed yesterday to pray for her spiritual condition. Encouraged others at another forum to do so. The report said that she had a few weeks.

    My prayers will now transfer to her children.

    It is a shame what her husband put her through while she was fighting this.

    Wow. I was sincerely hoping the time frame was an extremely cautious shortening of the time possibilities. :tear:
    Glad she's free of it now though...and truly free of the dirtbag who left her in such a horrible way as she battled this.

    Gina! Dirtbag is soooo appropriate.

    I've been thinking since I heard this afternoon about how much she *seemed* to have when Edwards was running for president. Appearances can be terribly deceiving.

    I was saddened, not surprised, but saddened when I read of her death. She deserved much better than she received from her husband. He should hang his head in shame!

    She is now free of pain. I expect she is having a wonderful time being with the Lord and with those she loved who had gone on before.
