I am glad the protestors were kept at bay. They stayed only a few minutes when they realized that hundreds showed up just to block them. They didnt care about their message, they cared about blocking the edwards view of the nonsense they were spouting. They stayed a very short time and left as they had no effect on anyone in the crowd and were not going to be allowed access to anyone they were aiming at.

I think she was a classy lady, and the candor and behavior of her children show how hard she worked to put a foundation under her kids. I was happy her ex chose to not speak. I was happy her daughter did speak and shared that letter to her kids.

If John Edwards ever did anything that showed good judgment it was this. He needed to keep quiet.....especially at this moment. It wasn't about him. It was about Elizabeth, her children and her family. She was a class act.

Exactly! no matter what his sins, opinions, political leanings or glories, it would have been in bad taste to say a single word at this womans funeral. He did the exact right thing. Attend quietly. Support your kids and shut up. I was proud of him.

I just read that Elizabeth left John completely out of her Will. Her oldest son, who is a lawyer, is the Executor and all her assets were left to her children. I knew she was a smart woman.

Not her son, eldest daughter, Catharine Elizabeth Edwards, as the executor. She is also named as guardian for any minor siblings. I don't think Jack is a lawyer since he is only 11.

That's right, I heard her lovely eulogy.:)

:o Oops.....thanks for the correction. :)

Way to stick it to the old man...gotta love Elizabeth!! Bless you, dear!!:hug:

But so sorry for the kids...
