I think of Bernadette singing No One is Alone from Into The Woods at the Sunday Katrina benefit and my heart just breaks for her....
My thoughts and prayers are with Bernadette, a truly incredible woman, in her hour of darkness.
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.
Bernadette is such an amazing being, and my heart is with her right now.
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.

How awful, sending thoughts of love,healing and strength for Bernadette.
I saw her concert here in London and she mentioned at the time she had only been married a short time.
So sad ....
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.
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THERE MUST BE NO UNHAPPINESS TO BERNADETTE!!!!!
oh that poor poor dear.
I'm going to say a prayer for her tonight.

That's so sad, and to think that I just saw her perform on Sunday. God, how awful. I'm saying a prayer right now.

Poor Bernadette, I'll be thinking of her.
A remarkable woman with a generous soul. Not a bad bone in her body. Why bad things happen to good people...I'll never know.
But her music and performance has helped and inspired me...and now I hope my thoughts and prayers can do the same.

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
My thoughts and prayers are with her.
Wow. That's terrible.
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.
Those "No One is Alone" lyrics made me cry.
