On the other hand, if there is no afterlife, then it don't matter what you say on your deathbed.

No Forgiveness for John Edwards
The National Enquirer reports that when John Edwards realized that the end was near he begged his betrayed wife for forgiveness, but Elizabeth refused to relent.
On her deathbed, a hurt, angry Elizabeth screamed at John, saying ‘You ruined my life — I’ll NEVER forgive you!’
Reports say that John Edwards repeatedly broke down in tears, and actually doubled over with grief at Elizabeth’s bedside. But she showed John no remorse. Nothing he said could change Elizabeth’s mind.
The only concession Elizabeth was willing to grant her cheating husband was to pray with him that God would give him the strength to protect and raise their two young children, Jack and Emma Claire, after she was gone.
Cutting John Edwards Out of Her Will
Not only did Elizabeth refuse to forgive John as she neared death, she informed John that she’d changed her will to cut him off from part of their $53 million fortune if he married his mistress, Rielle Hunter, after she died.
As she lay dying, Elizabeth Edwards also unleashed her anger at Rielle Hunter for destroying her marriage and ruining the bright political future John Edwards had.
According to reports. Elizabeth also had a few choice words for Rielle before she died, screaming to John that Rielle…. will 'rot in hell!
A source close to the Edwards family reported that when it finally dawned on John that the end was near for Elizabeth, and that she would never forgive him, he collapsed.
No doubt John realized that the stress of dealing with his infidelity, and the bitterness and rage she felt about his betrayal served to hasten Elizabeth Edwards’ death.
The animosity Elizabeth harbored for his mistress, Rielle Hunter, was probably a contributing factor , as well.
Elizabeth Edwards' deathbed words will probably haunt John Edwards for the rest of his life.
I think John popped open a bottle of champagne when Elizabeth passed.
When he married, he took a vow to Elizabeth.
Well, you've certainly demonstrated class in your response. Have a blessed New Year, FRiend.
Tony Randall had the same problem. He actually said that he hoped that Bush and Cheney wouldn't be allowed to come to his funeral, because he hated them.
The best revenge is to outlive those you hate and piss on their grave. That’ll learn ‘em!

Again, seriously??
Why is this gossip/blog crap posted under "News"? Presidio, you know better.
And I can't stand any of the Edwards. But again, seriously? Shame on you.
On the other hand, if there is no afterlife, then it don't matter what you say on your deathbed.
And this crap, which is not even sourced at the popup-ridden site, is writted by the "Examiner"'s in-house "Celibrity Infidelity Examiner."
Seriously??
If FR has to host this, can it be hosted under Bloggers or Chat or maybe under a newly formed "Gossip" category?
Ping to my rant at #168. Guess I need some Midol....
-———young trophy test-tube kids they produced.
Mean,mean,mean.
Gossip may not be one of the Big 10. But I'm pretty sure false witness is.
Gor a better source for this than the "Examiner" blog's "Celebrity Infidelity Examiner"?
After all, the 10 Commandments are there for a reason.
I couldn’t agree more!
True, true, true.
But mean of them to do that to two innocent kids, who now don’t have a mother and have a scumbag father. What’s to become of them?
I don’t ever click on these links anymore.
Does it still look like a dope head’s MySpace page?
He’ll raise them,I’m sure.
Not a good guy but may be an okay father.
No one plans on dying before the children are raised,but it happens.
I wish the young ones well.
Me, too. Sincerely.
Every child deserves better than they’ve been through, so maybe the future will be so. The older sister may be a source of stability.
Oh, God, yeah. You can see the viruses crawling all over the page.
“I don’t think there are any good people in this story.”
