Raleigh, North Carolina (CNN) -- More than 1,200 mourners, including hundreds who loved and admired Elizabeth Edwards from a distance, packed a Raleigh church Saturday to pay respects to the activist and estranged wife of a failed aspirant to the presidency.

Elizabeth Edwards died Tuesday at the end of a six-year battle with cancer. She was 61.

"She has been a light house to all of us. She's always been that source of light to us. Every lesson she has taught us has become part of our ethic," said Edwards' oldest daughter, Cate, in a eulogy to her mother.

Among those lessons, Cate Edwards jokingly said, was "you'll always regret prints, you'll never regret solids."

Cate Edwards read from a letter her mother wrote her children in anticipation of death. She said her mother was always more concerned about others than she was herself, and had even tried to cheer up friends and family about her cancer fight and impending death.

1. Cate was wonderful to me when we met.

The times I spent with that campaign and those people were some of the best of my life.
