    Geez that was fast.

    And I think we can all agree that Dick is 100,000,000% right on the idea of a "positive attitude" during a cancer battle being a hunk of shit.

    Hope Edwards' family finds peace, even that scumbag of a husband.

    Damn. I had much respect for her, before and after the campaign and marriage fiasco.

    Too young and too classy to pass away.

    She showed class even when confronted with such devastating news, whether with her idiotic husband or the cancer diagnosis. God bless her and her family.

    Sorry, you're right. It's never fast to family members. Well, it is, but it's excruciatingly slow at the same time. I just meant fast as in the amount of time that lapsed between her announcement that she was stopping treatment and her death.

    And Dick, I completely agree. Nobody wanted to live more than my Mom, and nobody was dealt a crueler fate. So spare me the positive attitude bullshit (not directed at you, obviously). It doesn't matter, not one whit.

    I don't think that's what he was getting at.

    I quite honestly wasn't sure either but decided to give John the benefit of the doubt, though he doesn't deserve it.

    Good on her for being honest to the end, thereby denying John the chance to stand up at the funeral and tell everyone how wonderful his sham marriage was. He was going to emote to Little Girl In The Drain levels for that one.

    Like others have said, seemed like a classy person who deserved better.

    RIP.

    RIP.

    As someone who just lost a close relative to breast cancer, this is hard to see.

    I know you posted this before we knew she had died. But on the worst day she ever had, she wasn't in the same ballpark as being a bully as Hillary is.
