John not a speaker at Elizabeth Edwards funeral

Font Size:

Plans are set for Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral Saturday.

Mourners will hear tributes from her daughter and two close friends – but not her estranged husband, former senator and presidential and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, reports CBS News Correspondent Elaine Quijano.

The funeral will be held here at the Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, N.C.

The service will celebrate Elizabeth’s life. She succumbed to breast cancer this week at the age of 61, after a six-year battle.

Two close friends and the Edwards’ 28-year-old daughter, Cate, will pay tribute.
