We appreciate the tremendous outpouring of condolences to Stories@nickberg.org.

Nick was the best kind of friend a person could ever have.

I recently discovered the website dedicated to Nick Berg and was moved by the outpouring of love to him. I have discovered that the terrible loss of this wonderful young man named Nick Berg has touched me in ways I would have never expected. As a parent, I feel a sense of emptiness, loss and heartfelt sadness for another family’s’ son whom I know was loved deeply by all that knew him. As a human being, I find Nicks’ death to represent everything that is wrong with war.... And wrong with the men who lust for battle and the senseless demonizing or denigration of a person’s race, creed, culture or place of origin so they can somehow justify their miserable dreams …. Those souls will never see the beauty of life and the goodness to be had.. From what I have read Nick Berg did. As one who has never met Nick, please know his spirit of human decency, empathy, compassion and love has deeply touched me and that he will forever be in my thoughts.

My deepest and sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to the Berg family and friends. After learning about his death, tears came to me and I thought such a lost for our nation in a time when we need good people out there. I don't know Nick, nor his family and friends, but wanted to let you know that my family, friends, and co-workers have prayed for the family and friends and pray God gives you strength to get through this terrible tragedy. You all are the lucky ones, for you knew Nick personally and shared many memories with him, where I can only read about what a wonderful person he was. Take care and god bless!

Dear Berg Family,
If more people were like Nick, this world would truly be a better place. What a brave, generous soul. I can only hope to aspire to be as selfless as he was. May God bless you. I am so sorry for your loss. (and ours)

I only know of Nick Berg from the T.V. This morning I watched 4 friends talk about Nick on the Good Morning America Show and I am still crying. My husband is also known as "McGuiver" by all his friends. He sounds so much like my husband... a true gift from God. Please know that I pray for Nicks family that they may someday find some peace. Im sure everyone Nick knew feels so much more whole for just knowing him. I've never met Nick but he and his family has left a place in my heart that is filled with sadness over Nicks death but also joy in knowing that God created such a beautiful man. We can only wonder why God called him home so soon. I can only guess he was in need to a true unselfish spirit. That sure sounds like Nick Berg. God please bless the Berg family and all his many friends including the ones who never got the honor to meet him in person. May we one day meet him in heaven.

I have no stories to tell and I did not know this young man. I am an Osage Indian who lives on the Osage Reservation in Hominy, OK. I sat and listened to this story at work on my computer and I wept in my office for both he and his family. Two of my coworkers also wept with me. The thought of what this man had to endure has been on my mind for days now. I just wanted the family to know that he has touched people on a reservation in the Oklahoma.

Dear Berg Family,
we are from Germany and Switzerland and in the same age as Nicholas. We have heard of your son in our local news. Although we didn't know Nick personally, we are very dismayed about this act of criminal behavior. We still can't believe that this is possible out there in this world. In thoughts we are with you and wish you strength.

To the family of Nicholas Berg,
"I am just a regular american and want to express my deepest sympathy to you. I know no words can really lessen the pain you must be going through. I have prayed for you, because ultimately it is you Nicks family and his friends and all of us the american people who are left to mourn and endure this evil world we live in. Nicholas has gone to a more peaceful place than this evil world that we must continue to live in and deal with. God does not make us suffer more than we can handle. Your family is strong because of the great pain that you must deal with. May God bless you and comfort you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."

"Please accept our condolences and deepest respect for the loss of your son, brother and friend. I do not know Nick, but as with our soldiers are giving there lives in a foreign country for others, I am with the understanding that Nick traveled to Iraq to help rebuild and for that I consider him a brave American Hero. Make no mistake, we will not forget Nick Berg for his voluntary bravery and sacrifice at the hands of cowards wearing masks. Rest in Peace American hero Nick Berg,"

To the Berg family and all of Nick's friends,
"My heart goes out to all of you and I pray that this horrible day in time will soon pass and you will find peace again. Knowing, as I do, that Nick is in the best place he could ever be. Angels were by his side during his time of deep sorrow. They lifted him up and carried Him to Heaven and laid Nick in the Palms of God. Please know that Houston, TX prays with you and all of us are with you in this time of such sadness. God Bless you,"

"I've worked in broadcasting for 5 years now as a radio chief engineer. It didn't take long to realize that tower workers were your best friends. They all seem to have one unstoppable quality: they're tough and they'll fight to help someone out. I once saw a man climb 1000ft on a 10 degree day to fix an antenna to get a local TV station back on the air. When I think of Nick Berg, that's the man I see. Nick was trying to get Radio and TV back to the people of Iraq, what a noble thing to do. His legacy will live on with every station he touched."

We thank you from the bottom of our heart.
