Tim Russert Tribute

My husband and I were driving around our city, looking at all the devastating flooding that has literally destroyed our beautiful city and state (we live in the capital city)........it was just devastating....when, all of a sudden, the radio station broadcast a special announcement......that Tim Russert was dead.........I just cried out, "no, no, no......it cannot be." He's just a year younger than I and so really hit home.......
He was an incredible human being, and I think we all could take "lessons" from him.....even though he was in Washington, D.C., he never forgot his "common roots," and he was a devout Christian with a deep, deep faith in God (I just KNOW he has a special place in Heaven now!).......he was one of the most fair, honest journalists around, who gave all a "fair shake."
As I sat and watched his memorial,, crying most of the time, I just kept thinking of what a huge loss our country has suffered..........Tim Russert cannot, and will not, ever be replaced.
Tim, may you rest in peace, and God bless you forever and ever........
He was one of a kind!
