A thread of support for Cate Edwards and her siblings

I don't know if Cate reads DU as her late mother did, but after reading about the trial, I just wished there was something we could do to show support for her. These past few years must have been terrible for her. I hope she and the other Edwards children will soon see better days.

She had to deal with losing a brother, having a mother with a terminal illness (and dying), having that father, being responsible for her sibs. I wish her strength and all good things.

...Edwards. I don't know where one would send them, either, though.

6. A very good point -- agree. Sorry for that apparent omission.

Although Quinn is one of the Edwards children, it is true I did not have her in mind, but should have.

If only the innocents could be spared any further ordeal and pain.
