Elizabeth Edwards
If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died-you're not reminding them.

Elizabeth Edwards
Every parent has gone through a period when their child wasn't so happy with them.
Elizabeth Edwards
The way campaign funds are distributed are all a matter of record.
Elizabeth Edwards
My heart goes out to the grieving parents who lost their two-year-old or their newborn.
