I stood in front of my TV all day watching fox news crying. There are so many things that stick in my mind from that day.There are so many heroes. Days, weeks, months and even years later. Thank God for all the people that fought for us on flight 93. I only knew her from TV but when I hear flight 93 I see fer face in my mind, I felt like I lost a friend. I WILL NEVER FORGET!

I never knew you but I promise for as long as I live I will never forget the victims of this tragedy.

As another conservative born in 1955, I feel a kindred spirit with Barbara. Today I pray for all of her friends and family. I hope you feel God's presence today in your lives and a comfort in knowing that many of us are remembering and caring. With love from Texas

I rode in the 2 Million Bikers to DC ride in Honor of Barbra and for all those who could not ride for their selves .It was and Honor to have her name on my helmet

I really do miss her contributions to CNN and was crestfallen when I first heard years back that she was one of the many victims on that terrible day. I've never been one to watch any political or news discussion shows, but with Barbara on the panel I tried to watch and listen as often as I could. A very intelligent, forthright and honest individual.

Barbara Olson will be in my mind forever. my Grandmother "knew" Barbara through her appearances on TV. i know she was born-again and i will see her one day in Heeaven with Jesus and all the saints!

To The Family,
I did not know Mrs. Barbara Olsen, but, in reading the obituary she obviously was a smart, intelligent, determined, and hard-working woman. Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one.

Sincerely,
Mr. Terry of NC

I always felt a kinship with Barbara as I relished her articulate and charismatic debate on TV. I just now discover she and I shared the same birth date, she born 6 years after me. I once got to talk to one of her staff on one of those random survey calls. Even the interviewer realilzed that our views were symbiotic. I so admired her and knew one day she'd be President or die trying. RIP dear one. Gone to soon but not forgotten.

Vibrant, smart, a really incisive mind... a beautiful lady & much missed in this Election Year. R.I.P

I am still in shock that 9/11 happened and took so many innocent lives. I miss Barbara Olson. I watched her on TV. I miss all the fathers that left their wives and children behind. Their memories will always be in our souls.

I still miss Barbara's guest appearances on Fox News, and my heart still goes out to Ted and her family. God Bless you on this our remembrance weekend, and every day.

I just can't say how sad & shocked I was (& still am) by Barbara's death. She was so bright & smart. If I didn't agree with something she said on Larry King's show, I respected her so much that I would think long & hard about what she had said & often conceded that she was correct & I was wrong. Such a great personality, so bubbly & smiling with that enormous intellect & incisive mind. She had charisma in spades. I only knew her from TV & the press, & therefore if I was distressed by her death, I cannot even begin to imagine how her family, friends & colleagues felt. My heart & prayers are with all those who mourn the loss of a truly exceptional wonderful lady.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I first knew of Barbara on TV and I respected her opinions and her knowledge of world events. When I saw her picture on the news that day, I cried for her and her family. We have lost a great voice in these perilous times. I pray for her,her family and our country.

she was born on tuesday and died on tuesday.
Rest in peace.

A woman of profound grace, even during the events on September 11th.
I watched Ms. Olson on FoxNews every chance I got and she was and remains the epitomy of class and strength. My prayers and sympathy goes out to her husband and family.

I only knew Barbara from her intriguing television appearances and admired her spunk. Her loss is felt by more of us than one would imagine. Of course, my political views were greatly in line as well. All those years ago, I never knew Barbara personally, but still have mourned her loss as well as so many other innocents lost on that black day.

Rest in peace Barbara.

I will always cherish the time I spent chating with Barbara in the US Attorney's Office in DC. She was a lovely lady who always had time for others. She always wanted to know how other folks were.....never focused on herself! She will forever be missed!!

To the family of Barbara Olson:
Barbara gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. My deepest sympathy to you. We must never forget!

I hope he is doing well and I know you are an angel looking out for us....

May you rest in peace...

Dear Ted and Family:
Even though it's been almost seven years since Barbara left us all, I still miss her. She was very gifted in what she did and her personality just sparkled ! I know she's still looking down on you with love and one day you will be filled with joy at your reunion. Our world is less without her here. God bless you !

Happy Birthday!!!

Barbara,

We will never forget. We miss your smile, your confidence, your wisdom and most of all your graciousness under fire. You always stood your ground even when you were outnumbered. May God give your family peace and comfort in the knowlege that so many count you as one of their family.

A wonderful lady who now smiles down on all of us. Miss you very much

I happened to read the memorial for Barbara again yesterday as I did also in 2006 in the Houston Chronicle. Something about her beautiful face and the verse written touched me. I saw the date of death and wondered if she had died in a 9/11 tradgedy. I googled her name and found out all about her as I did not know who she was. My condolences to her family. She, as all of the victims, was indeed a Patriot.

I miss her so dearly, still. She was such a friend and strong voice to her TV and book audience.

My heart prays for God to comfort her family and surround them with His love.

AS THE ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11 IS BUT ONE DAY AWAY I FIND MY THOUGHTS GOING OUT TO TED OLSEN ON THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE BARBARA OLSON I AM OF A DIFFERENT PARTY THEN MS. OLSEN WAS BUT WHAT I FOUND IN HER VIEWS WAS FAIRNESS I NEVER AGREED WITH HER AT FIRST BUT AFTER I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT SHE SAID IT CHANGED MY VIEWS ON WHAT I THOUGHT OF IT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY ONE LIKE HER SINCE HER DEATH AND FOR THAT I MISS HER MY THOUGHTS GO OUT TO HER FAMILY AND HER LATE HUSBAND AND THE MANY FANS THAT SHE HAS AND WILL REMEMBER HER ON THE SIXTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11

In memory...

In memory....

Thought of Barbara Olson as the political races take off. Missing her input and wonderful contribution that she always made that everyone always respected.

Even after all these years, I still miss seeing Barbara on my favorite network- FOX NEWS. I think she was on Fox the day before she died. And, I recall watching that whole segment. I just couldnt believe it when Fox News broke into regular programming to tell us that Barbara was on that doomed plane that hit the Pentagon. That was so sad. She was a wonderful commentator. I still can't believe she's gone.
Ted, I hope & pray that you are doing OK without her on this earth. You will rejoin her one day. I know she misses you so much. I hope things are going good for you Ted. We all felt so bad for you when it happened. Please know that many Americans still think of Barbara & pray for her & your whole family. May you find comfort in knowing that you will see her again one day.
God Bless,

In memory of a great American Hero.

To Barbara Olson's family, May I respectfully add my comments to her many tributes. Her l000-killowatt smile was a beacon for us all. I wear a Memory Bracelet with her name on it regularly. Sincerely, Faye L., Dallas, Texas

A week or so before 9/11 I watched Barbara on a news talk show. I really enjoyed it and was impressed with her comments. When I learned she was on the plane that hit the pentagon I was completely shocked and saddened. Barbara Olson put a human face on the tragity for me.
She was the only one that I knew
and had a connetion with even though it was only through media.
Even now at begining of 2007, I have not forgotten her. God Bless you Barara Olson and your loving family.

Dear Olson Family,
It seems like yesturday watching
Barbara on CNN with Larry King...
Everytime I go by that channel I
think of a very special lady who
graced that show with dignity.
She will always be remembered.
Love & Prayers to the Olson Family.

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

I have to say that I really miss Barbara not seeing her anymore especially on Larry King and I enjoyed everything she did. May God Bless you all!

To Barbara's husband and family:
We share your loss and remember Barbara and all of you in our daily prayers. She was an inspiration to us and we will never forget her.

I still think of you and your family often.

We shall never forget. For we will always miss her. Barbara was always on the right side because she new what was right. Our condolences to her family.

After all this time I still miss seeing her on Fox. She was an inspiration to my daughters. Rest in peace.

The loss can not be calculated.

I have visited this website often. I continue to miss seeing Barbara on "Larry King Live". I will forever be impressed with the manner in which she could voice her opinions and everyone still loved her, regardless if they agreed with her or not. Barbara you were one of a kind, I will always miss you. My thoughts and prayers are with her husband Ted as the Christmas season is upon us. When I look up at the sky at night I know the star the shines the brightest is Barbara.

november 17, 2003. GOD BLESS the OLSON family as thanksgiving 2003 approaches. i loved watching mrs. olson brighten the national news. she is a GUARDIAN ANGEL in HEAVEN for the whole wide world. love and sympathy, mary-welborn % [email protected]

I miss watching Barbara on Larry King's show. I hope that she is at peace, and that all of her friends

and family, especially her husband

Ted, can take comfort in all of the

good memories they must have of her.

I miss seeing barbra on CNN everyday on TV

God bless you Barbara. Think of you often and your many TV appearances. Rest in peace.

Know that you are missed, and that we will never forget!

You have a special place in the stars!

She always was so interesting on TV. She was a role model for me. I truly miss her!!!

I am just so sorry for the loss of such a human being.

GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE WHO DIE IN THE WTC

I enjoyed seeing her lovely face and hearing her intelligent commentaries on FOX NEWS.

My Husband and I both think of her often when we see another intelligent, blonde and beautiful young woman on Fox and Friends. We miss Barbara and her unique input.

Although a Democrat and very much, a Clinton supporter, I respected Barbara Olson very much. She was tough, but compassionate, unrelenting, yet sensible. Barbara was decent to her counterparts on-air, and always, after finishing her remarks or replies, she always did so with a smile...swinging her head back so as to brush back her hair. A beatiful person inside and out, and always a pleasure to watch and listen to. I will indeed miss her terribly. There is a void now, and it it noticable on the air...it's not the same without her. To her husband Ted, God bless you. I send to you my deepest and most heartfelt expressions of sympathy. Millions loved Barbara as I did, and always will. In the darkness of this unbelievable tragedy, how clearly we see the stars...and how clearly we see her now; her smile, her eyes, the joyful, playful laugh. A strong, principled woman who never gave up a good fight. How desperately we need her now to go after the terrorists and those who were involved in ending her life. To Barbara, I say-we will never give up the fight for justice! We will bring these to justice, so that your death will not have been in vain! We love you Barbara! We will never forget you! May God forever keep you in his loving embrace! Dave Berthold

Dear Mr. Olson,I recently was accepted into law school out here in California. Classes start in January. Since the five months that I have been out here, after moving from Michigan, I have had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman who happens to acquire a tremendous amount of knowledge. Probably one of the most intelligent men I have ever met. After he learned of my acceptence into law school he has been trying to prepare me for the challenges and obstacles that I am going to encounter. One of his preparations for me was to write a short paper on who is the solicitor general and who was his wife. I began doing the assignment and learned a great deal of important information about who the Solicitor General is and what his functions and duties are to the Unied States Justice Department. I didn't really know who your wife was until I started to do a little research. Wow, what a wonderful and enthusiactic person she must have been. I do remember a lot of talk on the news about a woman newscaster who was on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, I just didn't put two and two together. Mr. Olson, your wife sounds like she was a very brave, intelligent, beautiful and a woman who believed in what she was saying. I will forever remember your wife and my sympathies go out to you and all of her friends and family.Deepiest SympathiesMichael Prater

Dear Mr. Olson:



I extend my deepest sympathy to you over the loss of your wife. She and I share the same alma mater, The University of St. Thomas. I understand that the university, if it has not already done so, will plant a tree in her memory accompanied by a plaque with her name. Mr. Bracher, your brother-in-law, received an honorary degree on your wife's behalf this past May 2002 at our graduation ceremony. He did so with great courage and sadness. It was a difficult time for me as well. I share in your family's sorrow, as my father died suddenly the Sunday before that graduation ceremony. I pray for everyone in your family and for you.



Sincerely,

My deepest sympathies to Mr. Olson. I enjoyed watching Barbara on Fox News. I anxiously awaited the release of The Final Days and have since purchased Hell to Pay. Both of these books were superb and I mourn the loss of this wonderful woman who always told it like it was. God Bless

I remember the first time I saw Barabara Olson on Larry King Live. She was pointing out the obvious infraction of what some liberal had done. I remember laughing at her sence of humor. From then on I started watching Larry King more exspecially when she was on. She was a witty sassy and funny woman who will be missed indefinantly by all conservatives, and liberals for that matter, around america

Dear Mr Olson, Family & Friends of Barbara,



Barbara will long be remembered and missed by all. FOX is not the same without the class act commentary of Barbara.



And to Ted, her dear husband, thank you for your bravery and leadership as the events of that day unfolded.



May her tremendous example encourage women seeking professional journalism careers.

Mrs. Olson was a vibrant and charming conservative pundit, and (it seemed to me)a person who was full of life, and must've been fun to be around. She will be missed.

I loved watching and listening to Barbara on Fox,she was a beautiful lady. I miss seeing her. May she rest in peace.

This is for Ted Olson, who, in the face of the greatest tragedy, went on to serve his country proudly. We thank you for your resolve and your courage, and we will remember your wife as a hero.

So many of us "knew" Barbara from her television apperances. Talk shows have lost much of their interest without Barbara. We remember her today (the anniversary of the horror that took her from us) and so many times during the year and Thank God for letting her "shed some of her light" with us.

A tribute to Barbara:

"This life for her is over. Her earthly cares are done. She's gone to meet our Saviour. Her battles have been won. She's living with our Saviour, beyond the crystal sea, in a Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity."

Love and Prayers Always!

I miss her on Fox News and I will always remember her. She was a beautiful person.

As a fellow graduate of the University of St. Thomas in Houston, please know there is a special place in our hearts for Barbara. The students and staff at St. Pius X High School in Houston also remember Mrs. Olson in a very special way during our memorial prayer services and fasting for peace over the next ten days. During this period of time, her name is being worn on a commemorative wristband as a daily reminder of the loss of her life and the sadness we experienced on September 11th. As a sign of solidarity, we join our prayers with other members of the Dominican community who stand vigil for us at Ground Zero during the month of September. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and know that you, your family and friends are remembered in our prayers.

I loved listening to Barbara on Fox News. She came across as a sincere loving person. God Bless Her Soul.
