Once, long ago, Elizabeth Edwards was a member of this site. It was right after the 2004 campaign. We corresponded briefly, mostly so that she could assure me that it really was her. She was a gracious woman who took my fangirl-ing in stride.

She died today. She was only 61, and leaves still-young children behind. (The less said about her ass of a husband, the better.)

Ms Edwards was a true inspiration to me. She was everything an American woman should be: smart, brave, independent, caring, gracious. SHE should have been the Senator, not him.

This country has lost a great woman, not least because we never got the full benefit of her. Godspeed, Elizabeth.

I remember when she posted here. I came straight here tonight to see if you would post about it. Thank you for coming through, Lynn.

I remember, too, Becky. Elizabeth Edwards was as I aspire to be. I agree with you Lynn: our loss is greater because we "never got the full benefit of her." Perfectly spoke.

Blessings,
Lenora
