Who has just lost her husband.
This is a woman who gives so much of herself.
I hope she is surrounded by those who love her and support her, her family and community.

My personal thoughts and prayers are with her at this time.
I know she must have the support of her friends and family, as well as his. I just hope she knows she has the support of her Broadway Fans too.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

I wish her great strength and courage. This is shocking news. How very sad, how very horrifying. I hope the millions mourning for her and with her in some way bring her some kind of comfort. We love you Bernadette!!!!
More on this tragic event:
Michael Wittenberg, husband of Bernadette Peters, died on September 27 in a helicopter crash in the small European country of Montenegro. He was approximately 43 years old. According to B92, a Bosnian news service, Wittenberg was one of four people that died in the crash, which was thought to be caused by the helicopter's rotor blade striking a power line.
Broadway star Peters married Wittenberg, an investment advisor, on July 20, 1996 at the home of friend Mary Tyler Moore. She told the Philadelphia City Paper in 2000 that she met her future husband in front of her Manhattan apartment building one night, as she was waiting for a date that was late. "Michael was on his way to a charity event and was in a tuxedo," she remembered. "So he walked up to me, a stranger, and said: 'Are you ready to go?' How's that for a sense of confidence and a sense of humor?"
Both Wittenberg and Peters were involved in the animal rescue charity Broadway Barks. The couple did not have any children

That is awful. I saw them a few months ago at Fairway and they were charming. He was so young. I feel terrible for her.
