6. Hi Bluedaqg - I was thinking the same thing!
When he gets up there will he get the real scoop on things that were and are to be? He was a very religious man they are saying and also did a lot of charity appearances. He was very devoted to his family too I hear.

What more can one say about a man then he was there for his family and his faith and loved what he did for a living!

9. I raise my glass of Cabernet to him and K&R. nt
He was a part of my Sundays, a part of the fabric that makes up my experiences in this life. It could be said, as an understatement, that there were many times during the last several years that I was disappointed in Meet the Press; however, right here, right now, Tim Russert will be much missed by this viewer.

12. Here's to Tim
I just poured a glass of cognac.

There were times I've disagreed with him, but I've always thought he tried to be independent and fair to all sides.

17. may we each remember how fleeting life really is- and
look beyond "politics" to see that when death comes, we are all just 'people' trying to make our way through this world.

Godspeed Tim-
Comfort, peace and healing to this world~
