Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
December 7, 2010
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Elizabeth Edwards. America has lost a passionate advocate for building a more
humane and just society, for reforming our health care system, and for finding a cure for cancer once and for all. But
the Edwards family and her legion of friends have lost so much more -- a loving mother, constant guardian, and wise
counselor.
Our thoughts are with the Edwards family at this time, and with all those people across the country who met Elizabeth
over the years and found an instant friend--someone who shared their experiences and offered empathy, understanding and
hope. She made her mark on America, and she will not be forgotten.
