Email from a Class Family Edwards
We are simply heartbroken by the deaths and injuries suffered at Virginia Tech. We know what unspeakable, life changing moment this is for these families and how, in this moment, it is hard to feel anything but overwhelming grief, much less the love and support around you. But Love and support is there. We pray that these families, these students, and the entire Virginia Tech community know that they are being embraced by a nation. There is a Methodist hymn that gave us solace in such a moment as this, and we repeat its final verse here, in hope it will help these families, as it helped us.

In our end is our beginning; in our time ,infinity;
In our doubt there is believing, in our life,eternity,
In our death, a resurrection; at the last victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

Our dearest wish is that this day could start again, with the promise of these young people alive. Knowing that cannot be, our prayers is for God's grace and whatever measure of peace can be reached on this terrible day.

John and Elizabeth Edwards

3. Clinton and Obama also have nice messages on their websites
That message is also on Edwards's website.

They are all being classy.

7. I'm for Edwards but
I hope eventually someone public will come out and address the gun laws we have in the south in this country. It won't be Edwards, it won't be Webb, and that's a shame. Why does someone need an automatic rifle to hunt deer in Virginia, I ask you?

11. That is Elizabeth's voice and style. I wish she were able to run. I'd
vote for her in a heartbeat.

The woman has soul. And John Edwards had the sense and good fortune to marry her.

He goes up in my estimation ten-fold for that reason alone.

I haven't decided on whom I'll support yet, but Elizabeth is a very valuable asset to Senator Edwards.
