I recently saw your cameo on Homicide...Life on the Street. It's been 10 years since you've passed. Are you questioning the politicians as they pass through the gates? Keep them accountable Tim!

We still miss you so much. I was going through some old vcr tapes and came across some old shows from msbc. You were an old friend on saturday night doing your one on one interviews. I wish they would run those again instead of lock-up.You would be so proud of Luke. We miss your sane voice in a insane world.

Tim, your vast political knowledge & class is sorlely missed w/ this election. Your interview questions were always well thought out & you always had keen insight with the game of politics. A class act who is often imitated BUT no one can duplicate. Luke is doing awesome in his reports at NBC. God Bless you & your family. And please watch over America in this election year.

Am I too late to say how much I miss Tim,
especially now during election season?
No doubt he's enjoying 'the game' from
the bleachers in the sky where he is
gathered with his loved ones awaiting the arrival of some more ...when the time is right.

For Tim...

Sundays will never be the
same without you.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Now "Big Russ" has come home to be w/ Tim, Betty & the Lord. We all had the privledge to know "Big Russ" after reading Tim's wonderful book. and we know how well "Big Russ" taught Tim & his sisters lifes lessons. Everyone should be as blessed as Tim, Elizabeth,Kathy & Trish to have a Dad like "Big Russ."

The last conversation I had with my brother Marvin was on June 15, 2008. We talked about Tim and how great it was that he went to college in Cleveland. We talked about the grief his family must have felt to get that phone call. We got that phone call at 8am the next morning. My brother had died of a heart attack in the same way Tim died. I know they are both safely home in Heaven and that one day I will see my brother again and I will be honored to meet your Tim. May God continue to give you comfort and peace.

One year ago today, we brought a new puppy home. Much to our shock and sadness, we heard of Tim Russert's death as we were thinking of names for our new family member. We named our four-legged buddy in honor of a trusted wonderful voice that we always looked forward to hearing. Many have told us that Russert is the perfect name - and we hope the family is not upset at this name - it helps us (and others!) remember a most remarkable person.

God bless you, Tim! I still miss you every Sunday morning, but you did such a splendid job when you were here! You deserve your eternal peace with Our Dear Lord and remember, God willing, to keep a helping hand on all of us still here on earth...and on our dear country, our needy world, and ask God to watch over our President.
Thanks again for such an exemplary life...a model for all of us, but especially our youth. God bless your dear wife and son and all your loved ones. I'll see you again 1 day when I get to heaven!
Say hi to my dear husband and brother for me.
Still miss you!!!

Tim's excitement for live and love of family is an inspiration to me. I was crushed to hear of his passing and pray for his family as they go forward in life. I miss him every Sunday morning especially and at election time. He will be missed terribly by so many of us who never knew the man personally, but by the way he lived his life. God bless his soul.

Losing a loved one is something that at times we all struggle to understand, but learned to accept it. I missed Tim dearly. He was a man of integrity and enjoyed life very much. Even thought, I have ever met him in person, I enjoyed so much his wisdom and candid personality. I look forward when the words of John 5:28, 29, which reads, “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” becomes a reality just like Jesus, beloved friend, Lazarus, did. Jehovah God assures us that soon he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death itself will be no more, all our pain will be gone forever. Rev 21:3-4. I look forward seen my beloved grandmother, friends, and finally meeting Tim as well. May you and your family find the same comfort I found in Our Heavenly Father, Jehovah’s promises.

March 21, 2009

Here we are only days from an inauguration that makes me hungry for Tim to be a part of. Although we were only some of his "viewing" family, we have been touched by his intelligence, sensitivity and wit.
We want you to know that we continue to keep you and Luke and the rest of the Russert family in our hearts and prayers. We didn't write sooner because everyone writes and does things in the beginning. It's when the dust settles and most people return to their "norms" that you still feel hurt and alone. We share your loss and hope that as time goes by, you will continue to heal with the great memories of a great man.
We still smile when we think of how much more fun election night would have been if Tim were there with his white boards!!
Love,

I miss Tim so much on Meet The Press. I can just imagine his excitement during the election. I missed his election results. It is just so sad that such a wonderful, talented man had to leave us so soon. Hope that his family is doing well.

Tim and Family, Still thinking of you, the jingle of "Meet the Press" always reminds me of Tim. Seeing Tim on Meet the Press was my Sunday morning church hour. I've never had the hard cries of someone on television that felt as close as a family member. May God continue to bless Tim and family. This fan of Tim will always miss and think of him often.

463 pages...what a wonderful tribute to Tim Russert!!! Mrs. R and Luke must be so very proud. The whole country loved Tim! God bless you both and be assured that Tim is looking after you...he and the Lord will guide you through the new year, 2009! I am just so sorry he can't be here in person, for your benefit and for us. We so need good men in this world...but I guess God needed him more! Love and prayers and Happy New Year!

To the Russert Family - My thoughts have been with you over these past weeks - the holidays! I lost my Jim in 1996 in very much the same way you did Tim. They would have even been both the same age today. They were both very very fine men and Maureen, you and I are lucky enough to still have a part of them both.....our children. And they will carry on their Dad's legacies. You have Luke and I have Eric and Hillary. Unfortunately, my Jennifer age 29 is with her Dad since 2002 and watching over us all now too. God Bless and may 2009 be a healing year for you both.

Tim, I missed you on election night! What a great night it was!!! Were you watching? Did you see your son, Luke? I love seeing him as it brings you closer to us. I still miss you on Sunday mornings. Tom Brokaw is doing a great job, but I see him aging and in need of a rest. He's supposed to be retired! I worry he's not having time to enjoy life. He is one of my favorite people also!
Tim, put in a good word with the Lord for all of us here in the U S of A and for our new President. God bless him and you!

There is a new book out that that very few people have probably seen. Have you read, "Tim Russert, We Heartily Knew Ye: Wonderful Stories from Friends Celebrating a Great Life" by Rich Wolfe? I got the book for half price at Walgreens. I haven't seen it in any of the big bookstores. It has some great stories from people who spent time with Tim Russert.

Dear Tim, You would be so Proud of our Buffalo Bills. I know you are rooting for them in Heaven as i always say a Prayer to you on Game Day and you always come through for them. Everyone in Western New York is always thinking of you. You sure made all of us Proud being raised in the Buffalo area. Great people here and you sure were one of them by your Generosity and Kindness to all. We Love You Tim Barbara Constable & Family

Barbara Constable

Timmy,

The Bills are doing great this year, I think of you all the time, We miss seeing you on Sundays and I know you are a part of the Bills great start. Every win is a celebration to you. I wish you were here to celebrate the great season they are having. It is like the Bills are dedicating the season to you.

RIP Tim and just know you are thought of every day. You would be so proud of Luke, What a smart young man he is, Just like his Dad.

Hey, Tim, I have to ditto everything that RD Calk of Atlanta said!!! We miss you terribly during this campaign. I can't imagine what it's like for your wife and son. My heart goes out to them. I've been in their shoes and lost my dear mate too...way too young also. Please, Tim, do whatever you can from where you are to help our dear country pick the right leader. You should be able to influence the outcome of this election better than you could have from this side...instead of partnering up with Tom Brokaw, you and Our Dear Lord can set us on the right course...please ask God to guide and protect us all thru this election! Help us to choose wisely! God bless
you, Tim, and God bless your dear family!

Hey, Tim! Whadidya think of those debates? Do you know who will win already? I think of you ever time something screwy happens in this 2008 campaign, and that is daily. It is not the same, at all, without you. BTW, that kid of yours, Luke, is a real legacy to you - your greatest -among so many!

September 27, 2008

Hello again Mr.Tim Russert, I said a Prayer to you as our Buffalo Bills did not look good the first half of Sunday"s Game and after i said The Prayer to you and said help them out they came charging back to a 3-0 Win. Help them again this Sunday. Make them look real good as i know you will do everything to get that Super Bowl for Buffalo. Thank You again and we all miss you here in Buffalo. Love Barbara Constable

September 19, 2008

Mr. Timothy J. Russert All of Western New York will miss you forever but God must have had other big plans for you. We will never forget you. Our Buffalo Bills are doing Great. Keep helping them from Heaven as they always need a little push and now we have you to help them get the Super Bowl.

Many prayers and tears for your family - you were one of a kind - no one can ever take
your place - it's difficult watching the elections without your wonderful laugh and
those "grafts" that you were so proud of -
You were a man admired by so many for
the deep integrity ,love and sincerity that
you displayed so generously for all of us -
You were truly a great man and it did'nt
go unnoticed by the world.

Dear Russert family,
I have been aware of deepening my grief in knowing that our country has lost your wonderful husband and father. The commentary on MSNBC has lost its professionalism, courage and honesty. How I am aware so of the hard work and diligent presence Tim brought to this country. And how I feel his presence is still being felt, even though NO ONE has come close to his sense of compassion, truth and prophetic voice for fiar play. I continue to pray that God brings you peace, joy and such gratitude in knowing that people who never met him, even like this hospital chaplain, knew that for the brief time while his candle burned brightly here, a sense of fair play and excellence in journalistic skills was raised to its highest standard. God bless you all.

Dear Russert family,

I, as many other Americans, felt as if I knew Tim personally. He was such an friendly personality. I had watched him many times on Meet The Press. I felt like he was such a warm and loving person. Those who knew him personally were obviously very lucky to do so.

I am sending you positive energy and my thoughts are with you.

Dear Rurrest Family,
Tim was one of my all time favorite correspondents. I looked forwad to any piece in which he was the researcher. His book, "Big Russ and Me", about his relationship with his father was truly a gift to all of us. Our prayers to all of Tim's family, especially, Big Russ.

Barbara Andrejkovics Callahan

August 4, 2008

Time is passing, but I will always think of Tim on Sunday mornings. He was as important to me, just a viewer, as he was to so many others who have signed this book. He was - to put it plainly - the Moral Guide In Politics. I understood and liked politics because of Tim. Like so many others, I simply adored him. And I sure miss him. I sincerely wish we could make the world a better place in his honor.

My thoughts and prayers, like millions of others, are with Tim's family.

July 27, 2008

MSNBC News and MEET THE PRESS are not the same since you signed off. Tim, you brought a definite "wholeness" to the political coverage that my family misses sorely. You were a constant in our journalistic life; we relied on your honest and thorough analysis of the current issues before forming a final opinion. We will never know the impact you would have had on this coming election. We look forward to meeting you in Heaven some day!
God Bless,

I just read Tim Russerts book while I was on vacation. What a wonderful book and what a wonderful story. He had me laughing so hard at some of the things he wrote. I know Luke was blessed with Tim for his wonderful Father but Tim was blessed to have been Russ's Son also. What a wonderful story of a family who believed in hard work and moral values.
