ELIZABETH EDWARDS’ deathbed wish has finally been granted.
A magnificent marble tombstone featuring doves taking flight now stands at her gravesite next to the final resting place of her son Wade.
Before cancer claimed her at age 61 in December 2010, Elizabeth summoned the same sculptor who created Wade’s monument, Robert Mihaly, to her bedside, and described the monument she wanted, said a source.
“Elizabeth was very weak, but it was very important that she talked to Robert so she could describe exactly what she envisioned for her tombstone,” a family friend revealed.
“Elizabeth said she wanted her memorial to honor a woman’s spirit. So she asked Robert to create a sculpture of doves taking flight. It also echoes her desire to catch up to her son and be connected to him for eternity.”
