My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this devestating time. I did not know Nate but he was with my best friend Spec. John Kulick in this catastrophe. I am so sorry for your loss.
Johnny K. was and always will be my best friend. He is a true american hero. His tribute was nothing less than what he deserved. The service just goes to show you how many lives Johnny touched.
Johnny Kulick was an incredible firefighter, an amazing national guardsman but most of all Johnny was a dedicated father who loved his little girl more than life itself. Everything that Johnny did was for his little girl, his peanut.
Johnny Kulick will never be forgotten he is the definition of a true american. He always put others before himself and he could brighten up even your darkest hour. I remember him saying to me once how he was the worst best friend ever because he missed almost my whole pregnancy but I told him that it was cool because he was trying to make the world a safer place for me to bring my daughter into. My thoughts are with his family and especially his daughter(anything you need let me know). I love you Johnny Kulick...save us a spot:)
God Bless your family in this time of grief. Thank you for having a wonderful son who was willing to give his life for our country. He was my brother in laws gunner when he was killed and I know from him what a dedicated and great person he was!
I am the uncle of John Kulick, the National Guardsman, firefighter, paramedic, and most importantly father, who was killed in Iraq recently and I just wanted to take a moment to thank EVERYONE who was involved in the ceremonies last Thursday honoring him. I have never witnessed a more perfectly planned and executed event. Perhaps if we sent those same people over to Iraq we could quickly finish what we started and bring our boys home (topic for another day)!
Utmost of all I would like to thank the many everyday people who lined the eight mile funeral procession route, both civilian and police & fire, young and old, short and tall, waving their flags, holding their hearts, standing at attention saluting the entire procession, and holding signs saying "God Bless America and Johnny"!
Also, thanks to the many towns and businesses along the route; Hatboro, Willow Grove, Crestmont, Abington, Roslyn, and Glenside for their fabulous efforts in saying farewell to John.
Perhaps these people are also the "REAL" heroes and perhaps there is some "GOOD" news in this world left to report .
Psalm 46. God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble, so we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths, even if the seas roar and rage and the hills are shaken by the violence.
I wish we could have had more time together to develop a deeper friendship. I can still recall our many phone conversations including the last time I ever spoke to you, the evening of Wednesday 06 July. You were always happy when you spoke of your family and friends and I am happy, knowing that you lived your life the way God intended. Even on this earth you were an angel, bringing joy to everyone you met. You were special and loved by so many and I will always remember you the day I met you, smiling, confident and full of life. I think of you everyday and will never forget you. Rest in Peace. Joyce
In this time of tragedy, my prayers are with the entire family, friends and soldiers. I was fortunate to have known frank , i grew up in the neighborhood, and I am in a lost for words to describe the type of person he was, there is no one you could compare him too. He was one of a kind. I thank him, and all our troops for all their unselfish acts of bravery. I will never forget you Frankie.
I do not know you, Miguel, but you must have been special. As a mother of children I would grieve to have lost a son, so my sympathies to your mother and your family. My sympathies to your fellow army friends who mourn your passing too. May you rest in peace.
My son Chris was on the wrestling team at Pennsbury High school with Nate and was very sad to hear about Nate's loss. They had wrestled together as part of training and had learned from each other. Chris and his family send their condolences to Nate's family over the loss of such a young promising brave man.
Although I didn't know him, he sounds like a wonderful human being. May his family feel some peace knowing that he died doing what he was passionate about.
Having also lost a relative in the same incident, I am praying for all of the families and friends of our brave heros who have died protecting our freedom. May God grant you strength and peace.
From all that had the pleasure of crossing his path,our deepest condolences.Personally I personally loved the way he loved life itself. Great smile,dancer -just a beautiful individual.You will be greatly missed.
I don't know why Casey chose to become a soldier and fight in the Global War on Terror, but he did serve his country and he did make the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom and safety of others.
My thoughts and prayers are with you now in your time of tragedy. I too serve in the U.S. Army and have attended more services then I care to mention. Just remember that your loved one has not been taken without reason. He is with God now. I like to think that all those who have been taken are now serving the dual purpose of not only looking out for their brothers and sisters in arms but all those family members who kept the faith alive on the homefront. I only hope you feel the pride in Frank that I feel. He fought bravely and he will remain forever in the hearts and minds of those he served with. God bless your family and all those who are still serving in this never ending war.
Driving from Alabama to Ohio to visit my parents for a few days, I was impressed and inspired by the public expressions of love, respect, and appreciation for Brett and his service to this nation.
I, too, lost an only child recently. As an Army reservist, I was activated and deployed in time for the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. When four-year-old Mamie was diagnosed with cancer (Wilms’ tumor) I came home on emergency leave and was subsequently discharged. She died this year. Today I included the following in Mamie’s CaringBridge website:
“If you’ve recently traveled Ohio State Route 22 where it coincides with Route 3, you know very well that local hero Brett Wightman has fallen in Iraq. It is not quite as obvious to the traveler which of the nearby communities is his hometown, unless the density of American flags is greatest at Sabina. (You can learn more about him at (More Info) ) Not surprisingly, media coverage has been focused on the lady camped out in Texas demanding another private interview with the President. If you wonder where the protesters rallying around her came from, they may have migrated from southwestern Ohio – I saw no evidence of any still lurking there.”
If you’d like to see the context of the entry, you can go to (More Info) .

I just want to tell you, I am very sorry for the loss of your son. I am sure that it is very hard to bury your child.
I want to tell you, I think your son IS a hero. He died for his country and for the hope and freedom another country. He is an American hero and you should be very proud of your son. It sounds as though your son gave his all in EVERYTHING that he did.
Thank you for your son and for what you taught him. Thank you for raising a strong man who in the throes of war, gave all.
I would like to express my condolences Cindy to you and your family and all the other families with fallen family members.
It is very sad that your son and all the other sons and daughters had to die because of lies and deception. 9/11 had nothing to do with the war. 9/11 is also a deception..
The airliner crashing into the Pentagon is a deception also.. Just look at the pictures. Shame on you Mr. Bush.. Don't let up Cindy
I send my sympathy to your family. I have watched his news and special features on TV for a long time. He was my favorite anchorman. I will miss him and count him as a friend although we had never met. God bless you all.
I love you and I miss you so much. I look forward to seeing you again when I get to heaven. Thanks for the millions of memories that someday will bring a smile to my face and a blessing to my heart.
Peter was a 'prince.' He was kind and considerate, charming and eloquent. He had a grace and tact that no one will ever compete with. God speed, my friend, the other "Prince" has called you to His Kingdom.
To the Family of Chase J. Comley, No words can express how grateful I am towards Chase J. Comley. I can Honestly say I think of him as a Hero. Mr. Comley (sounds wierd to say that because he was only 21) is in my thoughts and prayers.
To the Family of Gennaro Pellegrini Jr., Mr. Gennaro Pellegrini Jr. is in my thought and prayers. May God Bless him. I thank him for his servies and i cant imagine the pain you must be feeling.
To the Family of Marine Lance Cpl. Evenor C. Herrera, You and your family are in my thoughrs and Prayers. I wish I could of had the chance to thank Marine Lance Cpl. Evenor C. Herrera for his services because without him and all men like him I would not have the Freedom I have today. Mabey one day I will have the honor to thank him properly in heaven. Sincerely, Elaina Levittown PA
To the family of Army Sgt. Francis J. Straub Jr., First I would like to say that you and your family are in my prayers. I came across Mr. Straubs Funeral Announcement in the News Paper and he caught my eye because he looked so young. In case the thought that Mr. Straub died for nothing ever crossed your mind, I would like you to know that he didnt. I am very thankful towards him because he was brave enough to except the challenge of fighting for my freedom and the freedom of all Americans. I know that no word or expression of gratefullness will bring back Army Sgt. Francis Straud Jr., but it may help ease your pain.
My thoughts and Prayers are with you, Elaina 14 yrs. old Levittown Pennsylvania
TJ you are my heart and soul. I will always love you. I am so proud of you. You will always be in my heart. Until we meet again. Love always and forever your wife Ang
Thank you for delivering the world's news to us with honesty, integrity, tenacity, and the quiet elegance that was uniquely yours. You were a true gentleman and are sorely missed. Godspeed.
It almost 4 years ago. And I still have those pictures on my mind. I will never forget this day, never ever in my life. I still keep my clothes in a box I was wearing that day.
My dear friend, I miss you so much. Sometimes I wish I was with you in the tower and not on my way to visit you. I can't forget the how you died, a way I wouldn't wish to my baddest enemy. I would love to be with you just one more time. Sitting on da couch with you, talking to you, laughing with you.
I catch myself so often thinking about that it's my fault you died that day, cuz you wanted to visit me over here in Germany. But I said "No, I'm coming your way."
I know it's not my fault, but it still hurts so much, to know I will never ever see you again in my life.
To all who lost their loved one, it doesn't matter if husband, wife, son, daughter, father, mother or friend, I feel with you. I know how much it hurts. And I know your dreams, which are coming back night by night. All candles and condolences of the worlds won't heal my aching heart. The anguish is too deep. But I also, and we all who lost one, shouldn't abandon ourselfs to our grief.
I didnt know James but from everything i've read he seemd like a wonderful person. I am truly saddened by the deaths of all the innocent people caught up in the bombings, my heart completely goes out to James's family and friends and all the other families who have been left devastated
I wish you peace Shelly,from a fellow New zealander living in the U.K.
These people say they believe in peace. How can they when they have taken so much. I have a daughter (28) traveling in the U.K and could understand the pain of being a parent.
You gave so much of yourself in the short time your lived. Yes, short time. To me 67 years old is young. You loved everyone. Your family has suffered the most. I give my condolences to your wife, daughter and son. And you will always be remembered by the world.
We love you Michael and appreciate the Sacrafice you gave for everyone. You are one unselfish person and for some reason it was your time to go and we will never understand why, but you fulfilled your plan and I will see you again when my time is up here.
To Aunt Kathy, Kim, Brian, and Steve~ Our thoughts are with you always....we are so proud of Jeff and miss his smile already and forever....Jenny, Brett & Aidan
Ryan was an awsome guy and he always made you feel better. His memories will live on forever becuase he was an amazing guy and while his life was cut short he touched so many people's lives
You maybe gone but not forgotten. I still remembered the last time we met back in 1989 at my grandfather's funeral. We love you 'uso', our prayers are with your wife and children, they're in God's care. Hope to see you there! Let God shine His face upon us. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. We Love You!

Peter Jennings honesty, respect and demeanor provided news coverage to us that didn't smack of "self importance" like that of the 2 opposing news commentators. He seemed to care that he was reporting accurately and not just there to promote himself or hear the sound of his own voice. We were blessed to have had him provide coverage and will sorely miss him.
I enjoyed listening to your delivery of the news. Your voice was so soothing. You definitely made listening to the news enjoyable for all. You have alot of friends that you didn't even know and oh how we will miss you. Your wife and children know how lucky they were to have you in their lives.
Peter, I will miss your professionalism, your warm smile and the delivery of news and reports that made us feel interested, informed, educated. We have lost the best news reporter, anchor, we have had. May your family find comfort in you leaving a leagacy. May god bless your family and keep them with joy and peace at this very somber time.
GOD gave me eyes that I might see The work that could be done by me. He gave me ears that I might hear The cry of those who need me near. He gave me lips that I might speak comfort and peace to some who seek. He gave me a mind that I might know How to help those who need me so. He gave me hands that I might do Some large or simple task for you. He gave me a prayer that I might pray Thy help and guidance every day. And this one thing all else above GOD gave me a heart that I might love. unknown This was Peter Jennings
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family of Eric. I know God is watching and caring for all of you. May God continue to give you His peace and strength through this trying time.
This is a poem by James Whitcomb Riley that got me through my own dear father's death and I hope it means as much to others as it does to me. "I cannot say,and I will not say That he is dead - He is just away! With a cheery smile and a wave of his hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. And he left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you - O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return. Think of him fairing on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of him still as the same, I say; He is not dead - He is just away !!"
Simple words to get you through! Heed them well as they are true! He waits for us all and will greet us there, across the Rainbow Bridge that we all will share! (MM-2005)
Peter Jennings is the # 1 reporter I have ever admired in my entire life. He is the best and he deserve all the respect that a person can have. He's now gone but his legacy will stay with us forever and ever. I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL HIS LOVED ONES. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
I GREW UP WATCHING WORLD NEWS TONIGHT AND PETER JENNINGS WAS SUCH A GIFT TO THE WORLD. HE TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES BRINGING US OUR EVENING NEWS AND KEEPING US CALM IN TIMES OF CRISIS. THE NEWS OF HIS ILLNESS AND PASSING WAS VERY SADDENING AND EMOTIONAL TO US ALL. MAY HE REST IN PEACE AND NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET HIM THE DONAHUE FAMILY SAVANNAH,GA
Peter is a good Anchor man I been watching him in a news everyday, I will miss him not being in T.V anymore..My thought and Prayers goes to his Family We will miss you a lot!!
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, I will never know another journalist that I liked as much as I did his. I love his down to earth and human touch. I will sorely miss his World Nightly news. Peace
My sincere condolences to Peter's family,friends,&co-worker s..He was a fine human being-a gentleman,compassionate,s ensitive..he is missed by so many..May God comfort his family at this sad time. Sincerely, Dayna & Doug
Benny everyday I have been thinking of you from the moment I wake up and you are the last thing I think of when I sleep. Apart from saying good morning to you when I open my eyes in the morning (I know you are with us all watching over us), I think about my dreams. Recently you have been in my dreams a lot and I keep a diary now of every little dream I have of us together. I really miss you so much and I know we will see each other again as in the same way we were destined to meet in this life. You are my soul mate and I know we will meet again and again as I am sure we do in every life. I love you with all my heart and soul. Love you forever darling ... your Raj x x x
My sincere condolences to Peter's family,friends & co-workers..he was a gentleman, a sensitive,compassionate person. He is missed by so many. May God give his family comfort in these sad days.
YOU ARE LEAVING A "TREMENDOUS" VOID IN THE WORLD OF NEWS REPORTING - YOUR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON - YOU HAVE LEFT THIS WORLD TOO, TOO SOON AND MY LIVING ROOM WILL HAVE A VOID EACH EVENING!!! YOU ARE AND ALWYS WILL BE THE BEST AND MISSED BY ALL THAT LISTENED EACH DAY!! GOD SPEED TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY. A VIEWING FRIEND
David I will always remember you as the person with endless energy and enthusisam, and mature beyond your years. You will be missed yet always remembered.
My family and I would like to express our sincere lost for Peter Jennings. I am deeply sadden by his death. I feel like I have lost one of my own family. I would miss the pleasent way he puts the news(no matter how bad it is)to his viewers, his handsome face, and most of all his voice and gentleness. He would be remembered for a very long long time. Our condolences goes out to his children, family and friends. Our prayers are with you. The Mohammed Family
sorry you have to go to your rest so soon. america will miss you a great deal. for most of us you are not a mere news anchor but a member of our immediate family. you belong to our living room in our daily family circle, and in our heat. you will be greatly missed.
I feel deeply for this loss. I am 39 yr. old and "grew up" with him. I, too, smoked for many years until 5 years ago when I became pregnant with my first child. As many times as I had tried before to quit, it was not about me anymore. Now, I have two little girls. I am responsible for them. I still do not smoke. However, not a month has gone by that I don't think about smoking or try to rationalize a "sneak". Mr. Jennings-among many other lessons-has shown me not to fall back onto the smoking crutch. Even if I didn't get "caught in the act", I'd still be hurting my family just as much if not more than myself.
I'm glad Mr. Jennings is without pain now and is receivng the respect and accolades he deserves.
May the family find joy in having know him in a very special way. The public would like to say "Thank You" to the family for sharing him with all of us. May you find comfort in knowing that Peter is in heaven doing the nightly broadcast for GOD.
I have been so incredibly sad this week with the passing of Peter Jennings. I never met him but he was a part of my life. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and also his extended famly at ABC.
Can you imagine the documentary he's doing on Heaven? He's already directing and won't miss a thing. God love you Peter
Perhaps, they are not stars But rather openings in Heaven, Where the love of our lost ones Pours down through and shines upon us To let us know they are happy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow.
I found a penny today, just laying on the ground. But it is not just a penny, this little coin I found. Found pennies come from heaven, thats what my Grandpa told me. He said Angels toss then down, oh how I loved that story. He said when an Angel misses you, they toss a penny down. Sometimes just to cheer you up, make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue. It may be a penny from heaven, that an Angel's tossed to you.

May God give you the strength to carry on during this time of sorrow.
