I am right there with you all. I was so shocked when I heard the news. So, so sad. I thought he was simply amazing and in hearing the stories after his death, am not surprised that he touched the lives of so many in such a deep, personal way. So many of the memorials have been so touching. I had tears in my eyes non-stop as I watched this morning's news programs. Tom Brokaw hosted "Meet the Press" and couldn't get through the show without breaking down. My heart goes out to his wife, son and "Big Russ".

A few times over the last 2 days I heard this wonderful quote that Tim used to say:

“The best exercise for the human heart is to bend down and pick someone else up.”

R.I.P. Tim Russert -- he will be sorely missed by so many.
