3. This is so terrible.

[Blue Diadem]

5. I feel so bad for him n/t

[Window]

[graywarrior]

This is very difficult

[City Lights]

[SharonRB]

14. I'm at work so can't see the teevee

but I'm getting choked up just reading about it.

12. I feel badly for the Russert family

Must be very difficult for them.

13. This has to have been a very hard day for him.

I almost wish I hadn't woken up today, just slept through it all.

[Yael]

15. This is heartbreaking!

I just found out. My heart is breaking for his family. He was so young!

:cry:

[Ilsa]

16. Andrea Mitchell was pretty messed up too. I bet she asked to be

taken off the screen. She said Tim was her mentor.

My sincere condolences to all of Tim Russert's friends, coworkers, and family.

[TwilightGardener]

17. Heard that. They must all be in disbelief right now.

18. Brokaw probably already is not feeling good about Iowa City being flooded too...

He started out going to college there at Univ. of Iowa...

[Blue Belle]

19. I bet Olbermann and Tweety will have a hard time with it too...

Losing a work colleague is hard.
