Oh how sad. I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy. I hope she can find some small comfort in the fact that millions of her fans are thinking of her at this time.
I feel that this song and its lyrics are now, more than ever appropriate. Sondheim has an amazing ability ot reach into your soul and I hope Bernadette remembers that we are all thinking of her. My thoughts and prays.
No one here to guide you Now you're on your own Only me beside you Still your not alone No one is alone Truley No one is alone
Sometimes people leave you Half-way through the wood Others may decieve you You decide whats good You decide alone But no one is alone
People make mistakes Father's, Mother's People make mistakes Holding to their own Thinking they're alone
Honor their mistakes Everybody makes One another's terrible mistakes
Witches can be right Giants can be good You decide whats right You decide whats good Just remember
Someone is on your side Someone else is not Well we're seeing our side Maybe we forgot They are not alone Cause no one is alone
Hard to see the light now Just don't let it go Things will come out right now We can make it so Someone is on your side No one is alone
I send my thoughts and good wishes to Bernadette and her family.

5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys
I join everyone in praying that Bernadette, along with Michael's family and friends, can be strong during this time. He was so young and such a very genuine person. I am just in shock right now.

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
"Blow out the candles Robert and make a wish. Want something, want SOMETHING."
What a horrible tragedy. Bernadette, we all love you and our thoughts are with you. Please remember to keep the loved ones of the other victims of the crash in your thoughts as well.
