Rest in Peace Tim Russert

I was driving today in Whitter Calif. Today listening to the Randi Rhodes show, I had briefly changed channels for a few minutes only to switch back to the announcement that Tim Russert, Meet the Press Moderator had died suddenly from a heart attack at age 58 while doing a voice over commentary for his upcoming Sunday show. I could not believe what I just heard. At the top of the hour, the News confirmed his untimely passing.

I'm deeply saddened at Mr. Russert's Passing, and can't even begin to imagine what his family and collegues are going through. I would like to offer my deepest and sincere condolence to the Russert Family, and to the NBC staff for their loss.

I watched Meet the Press for years and feel like he was a part of my Family. I just watched him this past Saturday when Hillary Clinton made her speech. I still can't believe this loving soul has left us.

Meet the Press will never be the same. I'm so overwhelmed -- can't continue now. I will add more thoughts later.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE TIM -- I LOVE YOU. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU FAMILY AND GUIDE THEM THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

MR. RUSSERT, I WILL MISS YOU.

Steven Alexander.
Los Angeles, CA

PEACE.
