Very sad. I just read in the paper today that she only had a few weeks to live and that treatment was stopped. Guess the doctors overestimated her time. Especially sad to have these happen right before the holidays.

RIP Elizabeth.

It is common soon after treatment stops,my mother had the similar request to stop treatment because it wasn't helping anymore and they said you will have a month at the most but it was a week later she past away.Rest in Peace Elizabeth,give mom a hug for me.

Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church will be dispatching members of its congregation to protest the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards this Saturday, CNN reports.

The church has generated controversy with its confrontational and offensive demonstrations. "God Hate Fags" has become an unofficial calling card of the group, a phrase they say the world "needs to hear more than it needs oxygen, water and bread." Another Westboro sign, "Thank God For Dead Soldiers," is frequently displayed at military funerals and has created its own share of outrage.

In a promotional flier for the upcoming protest, the church references John and Elizabeth Edwards's son Wade, who died in a car crash in 1996:

"When they were visited from the Most High God with the death of their 16-year-old son, they did not humble themselves before His mighty hand. They reared up in rage, decided they would show God who is boss, and meddled in matters of the womb, resulting in 2 more children -- now motherless."
The church goes on to claim that she is now a "resident of hell, where her rebellion and rage will take full flower."

Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards, died earlier this week at the age of 61 after a long battle with cancer. She is succeeded by her husband and three children.

Here's the Westboro Baptist Church's memo on their protest:

Wow. Here's hoping the Patriot Guard and/or the town people turn out to block those nut-jobs from view.

RIP Elizabeth. You got a lot of stuff you didn't deserve. Thanks for trying to change things.

We need to stop wasting our time with these people. Don't put what they are going to do on the news. We need to inform people of their moronic moves in order to protect families but that can be done privately. Once these people stop getting their name out they will eventually die out.

I am utterly disgusted at this church and its teachings. Way to take things out of context.

I wish this funeral was being held in Phoenix or within driving's distance. I would so be there to represent the other side.
