Kerry on the Passing of Elizabeth Edwards

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) today released the following statement on the passing of Elizabeth Edwards:

“This is very sad news, and the fact that it isn’t a surprise makes it no easier to hear. Elizabeth Edwards was an incredibly loving, giving, and devoted mother, and Teresa and our entire family are grateful for the time we shared getting to know her in 2004. We have many wonderful memories of those days traveling the country and seeing firsthand Elizabeth’s great affection for Cate, Jack, and Emma Claire. Today all those moments are rushing back.

“The same day our campaign ended at Faneuil Hall, we saw Elizabeth head off to Mass General to confront this terrible disease. America came to know her in a different and even more personal way, as she fought back with enormous grace and dignity. She became an inspiration to so many. Teresa and I, along with our family, send our prayers and deepest sympathies to Elizabeth’s family and the children she loved so much.”

RIP Elizabeth.

8. Interesting

The Kerry statement mentions Elizabeth's family (which could be taken to mean her brothers, sisters, etc.) and her children, but does not mention Johnny...
