Dear Brian ;
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I watch you every night while I workout at the gym. I lost my Dad 5 years ago and not a single day goes by that I don't miss him. They say it gets better as time goes by....I don't know maybe they mean different not better. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You are incredible and I want to commend you on the Katrina coverage. Nobody and I mean NOBODY did it as well as you and your NBC collegues. Peace to you.
Eileen - Baltimore

Dear Brian Williams,

I am very sorry to hear that you lost your sister to breast cancer. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. It's really sad to lose someone you love. On the other hand, it's great that you are back!

Sincerely,
Yeu Nguyen

Dear Brian,
All of us in the Dittmann clan are thinking of your sister and our prayers go out to you and your family.

I'm truly sorry about your sister. You've shown incredible strength throughout this ordeal. I know that you're grateful for the time you had with her and the pride of knowing that someone that special was YOUR sister. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Welcome back, Brian. I am very sorry for your loss, and my prayers are with you and your family. You have been missed.
I have always enjoyed your news coverage. But I was so impressed with your coverage of Katrina and New Orleans. I didn't see any politicans or FEMA directors at the Superdome; but there you were covering this important story.
I appreciate the work that you do and I trust your word. It's good to have you back.

Brian,
We are sorry to learn of your loss.
Please know how proud of you your sister was, and how
much you help us all each day.

I can still see the sadness in your eyes while watching you on Nightly News over the loss of your dear sister. She knows your hurt and I'm sure she's asking God to ease your pain. My prayers and concern for you.

Brian - A final thought from me on what has transpired this past week with the passing of your beloved sister and family member.I have read through most of these messages of condolences, thoughts and prayers to you and the family and am in awe and admiration of how deeply and heartfelt these messages have been expressed. Just imagine the wonder and power of the internet there is today.Your dear sister may have left this world but in so doing she has provided a means in which we all could pass on these thoughts to you. Without this how could you know how many of do care for our fellow beings and in this case you in particular.I hope you know that with all these messages you and your family do not stand alone and that mqany of us can share in your grief having gone through losses in our own families. It is obvious that you are a good person and very respected and admired for not only who you are but in what you do for all the viewers of the Nightly News and in other ways you reach into our homes. Good to see you on the "screen' again (GGB)

Brian

My feelings and deepest sorry go out to you and ur family w/the passing of ur older sister. U seem like a decent/compassionate human being, I am sure ur sister was too! Hope things are settling down now.

oh Brian, I only caught the last couple of words last Monday when Campbell explained your absence. I worried it was something like this. I lost my vibrant, incredible mother to breast cancer when she was only 57. So young, like your sister. My heart goes out to you and your family. I know how painful the loss is. It will be 15 years this summer that I lost my Mom and I can tell you, the pain dulls, but never goes away. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Huggs - Linda

Dear Brian, I was so sorry to hear about your sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. That dreaded disease has taken so many wonderful people. I too hope for a cure in our life time for that, and so many other illness that afflict so many.
Welcome back - we missed you!

Brian,
I am so sorry to read of your sister's passing. My family and I will keep you in our prayers.
I don't usually write sympathy notes to people I only know through their presence on television, but you bring such a personal part of yourself to the Nightly News that it would be remiss on my part not to offer my condolences to someone I genuinely look forward to listening to each evening.

It is good to have you back doing what you do so well - painting a picture of events for us, rather than reading us information. In the midst of all this, take care of yourself... work can be healing, as can be routine, but don't forget to care for the brother your sister so obviously loved.

Brian, all of us here in your old stomping grounds of PITTSBURG, KANSAS send our thoughts and prayers for you and your family. We are glad to see you back and hope that each day will be just a bit better for you and your family.

Brian,
Over the past week, I traveled from Seattle to Boston to support and be with my oldest sister while she underwent open heart surgery. Through lifes challenges, we remained close and she's a miracle survivor. I tried to prepare myself for the "just in case something went wrong" and could not imagine what it would be like without her. Over the years, you have been a welcomed family member...we have trusted your stories and have faced some tough times with you - and our nation. I thank the MOST HIGHEST - my husband was one of the PANYNJ police that survived 911. You were with us through that journey and I thank you.
Though we have not met, please know that our thoughts, prayers and wishes are with you and yours during this time -- just as you have been with us.
Blessings to you.

Glad your back and yes you were missed. Thank you for sharing our prayers and thoughts with your family. You mean a great deal to us your viewers because your honest and a rare journalist who remembers not to be bias just the facts. You are always in the hearts of us who truly believe in honesty.

Dear Brian,
Nice having you back you on the air and hope for your full recovery on the lost you have had. I know how its like and surely a lost love ones is a lifetime cruelty!
Welcome back and hope in one of your InDepth special you can feature your Sister's philantropy in those homeless youngsters in NJ..She deserved to be widely recognized same as the others you have featured in the series!

to members of the Brian Williams family...while I thought the past two weeks have been challenging with an emergancy surgery for our family dog, to remove a disk, plus a 130 foot Douglas Fir tree that fell on our house March 17, followed immediately by a mammogram scare, that was not resolved as "normal" for five days, the loss of a family member, namely your sister, daughter, aunt....is the most heartwrenching of all. You are right, these times bring our mortality into check, but with loving prayers of your intimate family, and all who are blessed to have contact with you either near, or far (including your viewing audience), the burden of a heavy heart is shared. You are in our thoughts and prayers...and love is sent to you and your entire family...from heaven, as well as those here on earth. Peace be restored to you.

Mr. Williams:

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. I know the pain of losing a sister to cancer. Although our family was never whole again, time does lessen the pain.
God Speed.

Dear Brian, I did not realize that you and your family had sustained a great loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy and I will keep you close in prayer. I respect and admire the fine work you are doing and you must have made your sister so very proud.

Hey Mr. Williams!
Glad to have you back! At least now you know that you will always be safe and sound in Baghdad and/or anywhere else now that your sister is watching over you.

Dear Mr. Williams - Welcome back! We want to express our sympathy & send our prayers to you & your entire family during your grieving process on the passing of your dear sister. We also experienced a death in our family two weeks ago, so we certainly empathize with the lost of your sister. As our family celebrated the life of my father-in-law, please continue to remember and celebrate your dear sister's life. We pray that God Almighty will continue to give you comfort, healing, and keep you & your family in total peace. Thank you for the human touch you add to the evening news. May you continue to be blessed & serve as a blessing for all of us. :-)

Brian,
I have followed you from the time you first filled in on the Today show to report the news - it was clear that bigger things would be in store and I am glad to see you back on air. Having just lost my mother during Christmas, you and your family have my sincerest heartfelt condelences on the sudden passing of your sister. As I am learning now, slowly the best memories (one at a time) will fill the void(abyss) that the passing of a loved one leaves.

I wanted to thank you also. As a native and life long resident of Baton Rouge, my mom worked tirelessly helping many of her NO friends who lost everything in Katrina relocate, find relief as well as lend an ear for hours talking and consoling them - even from her hospital bed. Your relentless coverage during that time (and now) remains refreshing and comforting even when others wanted to hush or tone it down. Louisiana needs you and others to keep tell our story!!!!
There are 2 scriptures that I would like to share with you and your family that have brought me great comfort during this time Isaiah 57:1-2 and Matt 5:4.

God Bless you now and always!

Brian--As someone else who grew up in Elmira, I have followed your career for many years. Although few of us remain there, there is a kinship among all of us.

I like to think that your devotion to your family, decency, objectivity and broadcast quality owes something in part to where we came from.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your sister. Among other things, setting your family first is a much-needed example from a position of visibility for our society.

Thanks again for being who you are.

Dear Mr. Williams - I tuned in late today and missed the Alzheimer's report. Searching the NBC website to read the report, I soon learned why you have been gone and why you were thanking Campbell Brown and the viewers. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I went with my sister this morning to learn her cancer is still in remission. No matter the age or the miles, our siblings remain precious gifts and blessings throughout our lives. She must have been very proud of you, as are we all.
