Elizabeth Edwards' will leaves everything to her children
By the CNN Wire Staff
January 6, 2011 2:27 a.m. EST
In Elizabeth Edwards' will, there is no mention of her estranged husband, John Edwards.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
* Catharine Edwards is named executor of the will
* Elizabeth Edwards died on December 7 after a battle with breast cancer
* Edwards has three children -- Catharine, Emma and John
(CNN) -- Elizabeth Edwards left everything to her children, with no mention of her estranged husband, John Edwards, in her will.
"All of my furniture, furnishings, household goods, jewelry, china, silverware and personal effects and any automobiles ... to be divided among them ..." Edwards says in the document dated December 1.
It names her daughter, 28-year-old Catharine, as the executor of the will.
Elizabeth Edwards died on December 7 after a battle with breast cancer. She was 61.
Edwards has three children -- Catharine, Emma and John. Her son, Wade, died in a 1996 car crash.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after her husband lost his bid for vice president in November 2004.
In 2006, after her initial cancer diagnosis, she wrote "Saving Graces: Finding Solace and Strength from Friends and Strangers," which chronicled the aftermath of her son's death and her battle with the disease.
In 2008, months after withdrawing from the presidential race, John Edwards admitted that tabloid claims about an extramarital affair with former campaign videographer Rielle Hunter were true.
Eventually, he also admitted to fathering a child with Hunter -- an allegation he initially denied even after conceding the affair.
John Edwards said the affair happened in 2006 while his wife's cancer was in remission. He said he informed his wife at the time and asked for her forgiveness.
In an interview with the Detroit Free Press after her husband admitted to his affair, Elizabeth Edwards said the incident helped her focus on resuming her role as an advocate for the poor and for health care reform. She also said it pushed her to refocus on her role as a mother.
In a September interview on "The Nate Berkus Show," Edwards was asked what she sees when she looks at her estranged husband, John Edwards.
"I see the father of my children, and that's very important to me," she said. "Particularly since I have a terminal disease, this is the person who at some point will take over the primary parenting, and it's important to me that he heal, if he needs to."Elizabeth Edwards' will leaves everything to her children

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., known for picketing outside military funerals, brought a small group to picket near the funeral service for Elizabeth Edwards Saturday, but they were far outnumbered by a group that organized a counterprotest in support of "promoting proper respect for funerals."
As the Edwards funeral began, three adults and two children from the Westboro church were on one side of Edenton Street, holding signs denigrating Edwards.
On the other side of the street, in front of the Justice Department building, several hundred counterprotesters gathered in the drizzle. Signs in the crowd said, "God loves Elizabeth Edwards," and others, in pink, said simply, "Hope" and "Hero."
The crowd supporting Edwards sang Christmas carols, the National Anthem and "Lean on Me," the Bill Withers classic. Other supporters circled the block in cars, playing country music as the crowd cheered.
Some supporters brought American flag umbrellas to pass out to the crowd, and one man brought a poster-making kit.
Among the Edwards supporters was Bob Krasnicka, who came from Wake Forest to help.
"I'm sick of hearing about these people going to funerals and spreading their hate," said Krasnicka, 48, referring to the Westboro protesters. Of Edwards, he said, "I know she has young children who don't need to be seeing this kind of hate."

A Kansas-based church known for its high-profile protests of service members' funerals is planning to show up at the memorial service for the late Elizabeth Edwards, the group said Thursday.
The Westboro Baptist Church's website said the group will hold a protest from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. at a memorial for the Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of former Senator and 2004 vice presidential candidate John Edwards. Edwards, a lawyer and health care advocate, died Tuesday after a six-year battle with breast cancer.

"They coveted things that were not theirs - and presumptuously thought they could control God," the Westboro Baptists said in a news release. The church also said Edwards "meddled in matters of the womb," an apparent reference to fertility treatments she reportedly received to conceive her two youngest children. The WBC also apparently took issue with Elizabeth Edwards' books and her struggles with her own faith after the death of her 16-year-old son, Wade, and her own cancer diagnosis.
