My main reason for watching TBAA is I've always wanted to be an actress just too scared to do it. I think John, Della, and Roma are the best. A few years ago I lost my very Best Friend in the world to Luekemia. Margaret was the sweetest person in the world. When my family turned their back on me she was their. Whenever I had a problem she was there. I went every day to the hospital to see her while she was going through the first round of chemo. Then I moved in with her and her fiance to take care of her. After her bone marrow transplant she got worse and I had split from my boyfriend at the time which by the way they were also close friends. He had told me that the Doctors were wrong and she was coming home the next day. So I called her fiance but, I got no answer so I figured they went out to celebrate. In the mean time another one of my friends which has 3 very overactive boys called me to help her take the boys trick or treating. That night I didn't feel good a!
ll night, I knew something was wrong but, just didn't know what. As we started back down the opposite side of the street we ran into a former co-worker of mine which in way got angry with me and asked how could I be so heartless and be out enjoying myself. Now at this point I was clueless as to what she was talking about but, then she told me that Margaret had died. We exchanged some words to the effect of how mean she could be to say something like that about someone as good as her. But, I knew that it had to be true. The hardest part of this whole situation is the second time she was in the hospital, I counldn't bring myself to visit her because I knew deep down she wasn't going to make it. I never got the chance to say goodbye to her. I did get to talk to her mother and she told me that Margaret didn't want me to visit because she knew I couldn't handle seeing her like that. She also told me that Margaret told her the night before she died that she wanted everyone t!
o know that she was going to a beautiful and peaceful place. Heaven. Now I don't remember the exact show but, Andrew was leading a girl to Heaven and it truely touched me. I also was a fan of John Dye before TBAA when he was in Campus Man. I honestly didn't know he got the role of the Death Angel. I still don't forgive myself for not being there for her but, seeing the story lines and seeing Andrew leading someone to Heaven gives me a little sense of peace knowing she's there. I am truely thankful for TBAA being on the air even though most people don't think a show of it's kind should be aired. THANK YOU TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL CAST AND EVERYONE THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE.
God Bless,
Teri
MY THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW AND YOUR BOOK YOU ARE MAKING TO
SEND TO THE CREW OF TBAA. I AM FROM A LARGE FAMILY I
WAS STRICTLY RAISED BY A PENTECOSTAL MOTHER, WHO TAUGHT
US ABOUT GOD. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY UPBRINGING, WE DID NOT HAVE MUCH BUT, BUT A MOTHER WHO BELIEVED IN A
GOD WHO NEVER FAILS. I WAS MARRIED AT THE AGE OF 15 YRS
SO WHEN I WATCH A SHOW ON ABORTION OR GIVING UP A CHILD
I CAN RELATE WITH THIS GIRL AND THE PAIN SHE IS GOING
THROUGH. I WAS VERY BLESSED, I WAS IN LOVE WITH MY CHILD HOOD SWEETHEART AND WE MARRIED HAD THE BABY AND
WE ARE STILL TOGETHER 31 YEARS OF MARRIAGE WICH HAS NOT
BEEN EASY BUT GOD HAS HELD US TOGETHER. I HAVE SEEN MUCH HEARTACHE IN MY LIFE I LOST A FATHER IN LAW BY A
MURDER IN TX IN 1973, THE BITTERNESS FROM THAT ALMOST
DESTROYED OUR WHOLE FAMILY, BUT GOD WAS ON TIME AND HELPED US ALL THROUGH IT. I LOST MY FATHER IN 1976 TO
ALCOHOLISM AND WAS BLESSD ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE TAKEN ON
THE DESTROYING NATURE OF THIS DISEASE. IN 1984 I LOST
MY MOTHER IN LAW TO CANCER TOOK CARE OF HER WITH MY
SISTER IN LAWS HELP UP TO THE TIME OF HER PASSING. IT
WAS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS I HAD EVER HAD TO
DO BUT I DID IT. AS I THINK BACK IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST
BLESSED MOMENTS OF MY LIFE SHE WENT IN A WONDERFUL PEACE EVEN AFTER LIFES DOSE OF CRUELTY THAT HAD BEEN
PLACED UPON HER TO GO THROUGH SHE NEVER GAVE UP ON GOD
P.S. SHE WAS ALSO MY SUNDAY SHCOOL TEACHER, I AND MY
SISTER IN LAW HAD A PRECIOUS WOMAN THAT TAUGHT US ALOT
OF HOW TO ENDURE LIFES TRIALS, A LOT LIKE YOU DELA,
MY MOTHER AND MY MOTHER IN LAW BOTH SANG IN CHURCH, I
LOVE TO SING, GOD'S WORDS AND MUSIC FROM THE HEAVENS
ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS SOUNDS IN THE UNIVERSE, I THINK
YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL MISSION FROM GOD TO DO WHAT
YOU DO AND I AM PROUD TO CALL YOU A MOTHER,SISTER,AND
BROTHER IN THE FAMILY OF GOD'S KINGDOM.MAY GOD BLESS
YOU AND KEEP YOU ALL AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EACH AND
EVERY ONE. I DID LOVE THIS YEARS CHRISTMAS STORY LINE
WHEN YOU MARRY A MAN YOU MUST REMEMBER YOU ARE ALSO
MARRYING SOMEONES LITTLE BOY AND TRULY THE ONLY WAY YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND THIS IS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SON. SO
DAUGHTER IN LAWS OUT THERE KEEP PEACE WITH THAT MOTHER
BECAUSE THIS MAN YOU SO MUCH LOVE HE WANTS ONLY TO BE
ABLE TO LOVE YOU BOTH IN THE WAY HE KNOWS HOW. BE HIS
WIFE AND LET MOM BE MOM. DAUGHTERS YOU RESPECT THAT
MAN AND IF YOU HAD A ROUGH OLD MAN FOR FATHER DO NOT
TAKE THAT INTO YOUR MARRIAGE. YOU MARRIED YOUR SWEETHEART THE MAN THAT GOD HAS PUT INTO YOUR LIFE AS
A PARTNER OF GOD HONOR HIM AND YOU WILL RECEIVE HONOR
BEYOND ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.

I love Touched By An Angel!!! I watch it all the time. I think they are all very nice people and i hope the show goes on.
Danielle Ligenza
Well, I 'm not sure how I should write this but I thouht I should look into my heart and let it guide me as to what to say. Touched By An Angel has deeply touched my life. Monica, Andrew and Tess always seem to know what's on my mind and just what I need to hear. Of course I realize they are actors and actresses but I don't believe anyone else could portray such realistic feelings and emmotions so well. When I was about eight years old I was sexually abused by my brother. It continued on to the age of about fifteen when I put a stop to it myself. I've always believed that there was an angel watching over me that whole time. Even though I was very afraid of what was happeneing to me I didn't feel alone or abandoned. I always felt during each instance of abuse that I wasn't alone, that God was watching over me. For a long time I was angry and resentful of what happened to me. One night there was an episode on about a little boy who called Andrew Dew. Andrew!
would come to him when he was being beat up by his mom and he would tell him stories about God. It made me remember that I was not alone while I was being abused. My family and I did not get along for a long time after that. I chose to forgive my brother and my parents for what happened to me. Thanksgiving day of this year my father passed on. Two hours before it happened he cried and thanked me for forgiving him. I told him I couldn't do any the less then Jesus had done for me first. I am so glad that we had had a closer relationship before he passed on. Many times I watched Andrew say that I couldn't go to God with all that anger in my heart. My brother also has found his faith and is doing quite well. I still have bad days but they are few and far between now. Thanks to all the cast and Martha for helping me thru such a tight spot in my life... Peace and Light,
Kim
I just think that the show is really nice, and i like to watch it and wanted to say so.
Julianna
My name is Jessica Sueren Negron Gonzalez live in Puerto Rico im 26 yrs and i'm doctoral student in clinical psychology. My brother (21 Yr) have been diagnosticated with a primary carnitine deficiency its a metabolic-genetic-disease and he's dying. By this situation my mom developed Main Deppresion and my father is an obssesive compulsive and honestly the situation is caotic. I have been always believe in God and trust him but this blows all my strenghs, my thoghts. First time I saw the program was by casuality
and I liked a lot. But in my situation the program became in certain way as a source of strengh which seems i was lost. The way of express how God works in our lifes let me in shock its made me think again and turn around my thoughs and my vision. I like the program because angels are presenting as helpers they doesn't take actions as if the were God. They make people think they touched hearts, thoughts and that's how people can change and learn from mistakes and continue with their lives.
I think Martha Williamson is the best writter of the world!! Why? easy. Everybody makes money with all those terror thrillers and sexual films. But she goes beyond that she cares about people I think she's the real one touched by an angel. Her incredible style of write and her sensibility blows everyones life. Please never stop of write this amazing tv show.
For me, The cast it's just the perfect team!!! Della encourages people always to fight and go ahead
she's wonderful!! Roma it's incredible!! she can proyects innocence and at the same time the hope that we all can change right now. And this guy John it's out of this world: this cahracter it's so important to us to see the death in another way: not like the ending of life: like a transition to another phase of life.One more thing Could someone emailme the lyric of the song Walk with you by Della. I will really apreciate it. thank you.
God Blesss you all!!
Jessica Sueren
I never knew how to explain death to my children without scaring them...Thanks to John Dye and his wonderful protrayal of Andrew, they understand that death can come as a friend and does not have to be feared. This was especially useful when their Godfather recently died of AIDS. Not only did TBAA do the program about the violinist who died of AIDS which helped us all cope with the tragic lost of a dear friend, but my children understand that death is not an end...but only a begining. Thank you and God bless you all for this inspired program.
Royce Simmons
touched by an angel was my favortie show to watch
i enjoy the actress like roma downey and della reese
my dream someday was to get a chance to meet the whole cast and crew. i really would like that. Angels are beautiful and white.
they have such lovely light that you could almost see
the angels for real.
Even when people do things that are wrong
the angels are always known to correct thier wrong
doing.
Angels are the people that i like to meet someday.
please make it come true for me.
thank you mudji versteeg
ps: hi roma and Della Resse i would like to meet
you both please make it happen for me!!!
Mudji Versteeg
I am a 16 year old who lives in the life of teenagers. I think Touched By An Angel really helps me cope with life. Sometimes I feel like I can't go on, but then again, I am always reminded that there is hope.
"You know what amazes me about humans? It's not that most of you can't go on, it's that almost every one of you does."-andrew in 'til death do us part
So of course I really love the show. Roma is wonderful, della is just delightful and john, he's the best (not to leave anybody else out) but i bond well with him. a lot of people need someone like him, gentle and compassionate.
I'll be praying for all of you. Thanks for keeping the hope alive in all of us.
God bless,

Hello all..
I very rarely have anything worth speaking about..I love the show..and I
love the message that it brings. It gives me hope when I have felt
despair...shown me peace when I am enraged...gives me strength when I feel I
cannot bear one more burden...reminds me of His love...when I feel the most
alone. Reminds me that what I think of as impossible..is only that way if I
choose to do nothing.
But please forgive me as I make up for lost time...
I have to tell you....I hope and pray that if something does happen in my
life that brings me angels to help me through whatever God is sending my
way...I hope I recognize the gift{s} that may be standing before me. I have
seen my share of bad...as most of us have. Have I been blessed by the
presence of angels??...I guess that depends on how you view things. That
little voice inside you that tells you when something isn't right....Angels
speaking...?....I don't know.
Praying for guidance as we travel along life's paths..both straight
roads...with a few curves thrown in....when things go wrong...who do we call
on??....Who gets the blame...??...Who receives all the "bad press" when a
tragedy happens..??...How can we tell when an Angel IS present...?...Once
again..depending on who you speak to ... there are as many answers as there
are questions. All I do know is this...if you DO have enough faith, and if
you truly do believe...then there is nothing that is impossible...NOTHING.
Will believing stop all the tragedies from happening?..Will it stop school
children from bringing guns to class with them...will it stop children from
being abandoned or abused--probably not. Will faith stop men and women from
mistreating one another..stop drug deals..end violence...racism and the
rest?....Who knows? Maybe if enough believed that they DID have faith..the
world would be a different place. Of one thing I am
sure...WE--You...Me...all of us have been given the gift of life...what
WE---that's right...WE choose to do with that gift...that is what WE have to
deal with. God gave us a gift ...not once..but many times...He sent His only
son..as a sacrifice.....He breathed life in us..so that we could
do?????.....His will IS the right answer...but thankfully He realizes our
shortcomings and loves us anyway.
How can anyone NOT believe? Whenever you find yourself lacking for
answers...stop...look around you. We have been blessed with angels of all
colors and creeds...shapes and sizes....men and women. Do they have to
"glow" or "shine" in order for us to recognize them? For the Love of God...I
hope not.
There are plenty of sad and terrible things that happen everyday. But with
every tragedy...as sick as it sounds .... my faith in mankind just keeps
growing. Tragedy at Columbine...the country stops breathing,-the world in
mourning, but who were the heroes...every single one of those students taught
US a thing about faith now didn't they..? A young handsome man who had lived
his life in the spotlight-always having to share in whatever sorrows had come
his families way with the rest of the world..on his way to a wedding with his
young wife of a few yrs, and her sister..plunge to their deaths in the
darkness...so close to the home the sheltered him from the "outside world".
Was the tragedy because of WHO is was...or where he came from...I don't think
so. I can't even count all the lives that have been lost of late....every
single one of them was at some time...someones
son/daughter....brother/sister....uncle/aunt.....father or mother. Each loss
of life...was a loss for all of us...and with each loss...I am sure the
heaven wept. 2 weeks before Christmas..just an hour away from my home..6
brave men gave their lives while trying to save the very persons that caused
their doom in a fiery blaze in the city of Worcester, MA...a city where for
most was not even known to them until that cold and windy night. Heroes ALL.
The list can go on. In this world of strangers ... we are all the same. We
do what WE feel needs to be done...some do nothing..others just try and do
the best they can to make it through another day. I have 2 children..one is
a beautiful 20 year old daughter of whom I am so very proud..we just dropped
her off yesterday..to send her off to England to study abroad for her spring
semester in her junior year of college..she has worked long and hard for this
status..my husband and I are the fortunate ones to be able to make her dream
come true. Do I miss her...I can't even begin to tell you..She has been MY
teacher. The other ..a soon to be 16 yr old young man..of whom I am equally
proud of ... gets good grades..is in school sports..and is a caring and
loving son. Both have the same good traits we all want for our kids.
Sensitivity and caring for all that cross their paths. A courage that for
most of us was lost along the way..to MAKE the difference that this world is
so in need of. If that is the ONLY thing that I can attest to ... or have as
my "donation" to society..then I will meet my maker with a clear conscience.
That is all I can do ... live my life in such a way that I may leave the
world a little better than when I came into it. That is all He asks of any
of us...Now...is the time to test our strengths and weaknesses...and see what
we can do to better ourselves..I plan to constantly test myself...so that
when the "BIG" test comes my way...I will have all the answers I need.
Take care everyone...
Be good to each other..
Martha Williamson-you already have the answers..Thanks for giving US the
tools we need to fill-in-the-blanks..
Roma, Della, John and the rest of the cast and crew...Thank You for giving us
believers something we can see with our eyes...feel with our hearts and
souls... and always ...ALWAYS make us feel that we are ALL....
Touched By An Angel...
Much love always
Louise Hayes
The angels are well known as helpers to everyone
they are special friends that like to help and create a
happy ending when it comes to sharing their feelings.
I someday would like to get a chance to meet the
whole cast and crew. i sure hope that my dream will come true for me. please know that i like and enjoy
my favorite show. if i were to meet the cast i would be
little nevous but i'll just have to deal with this myself.
Thank you,
Mudji
They are great actors and cool. I can't get enough of the show.
Sammy
You have touched my life in a special way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I truly believe that God gave me a divine appointment
every Sunday night with Touched By An Angel! I appreciate you more than you will ever know!
You bring me so much joy and happiness to me!
Roma Downey is my hero and I love her very much!
John Dye is so sweet and I think that he is great!
Della Reese is a ray of sunshine and I love to hear
her sing ! I send you a big hug and thanking you
for giving me hope and much encoragement!
Christy Cleghorn
I am so glad there's a show on TV like this. All of the cast and crew do a excellent job. I like how you just say "God (a higher power) loves you." And nothing more. Just how you choose to worship him is up to you just know he loves you. I am 15 and I have AIDS. When I saw "The Pact" I cried so much because I could see a little bit of myself in each of those girls. I was having alot of problems at school in the community with people harassing me and doing other intolerant activities towards me. I taped that episode and showed it at school and everyone totally changed! They relised I am a real person with real feelings and not some kind of freak. They relised I was hurting and this wasn't my fault. I was just a person with a illness. Not a monster. Thank-you for helping to make my life worth living and my communities lives more tolerant. You guys rock and do a awesome job. I love acting and hope someday I too can have job that changes so many lives.
Kim
I absolutely LOVE the show ...Since the first episode I have only missed couple...You have played many shows more than once can you do the one about the homeless man and his feet get healed...
I went through horrible seperation and divorce in Aug 95 and the show makes me cry everytime I watch it cause it just tells me how much God loves me even though I failed and it helps me deal with unforgiveness and many other important things...
I THANK GOD everyday for this show...wish it was on for 2 hours week instead of only 1....
Michael Saccardo
I love this show because it helps me to know there is God and angels among us. And the srories always it home and help me deal with everday problems. Its the only show on tv I make time to watch.
Judy
I first starting watching TBAA because of Della Reese. I remember seeing her on other shows, and have always loved her singing voice. She has always appeared to be a warm and loving person. To be honest, Roma had to grow on me.. but she did, and I think she is very courageous raising her daughter on her own. I don't think I would have the strenght to do that. (I too am the mother of 3 year old) When John Dye came on the show.. what a delight. One of my favorite movies is Campus Man. I really liked the humor of the movie and John brings that quality to the show as well as his compassion. I would love to see Kathleen Wilhoite make a guest appearance. She is one of my favorite actresses. But all in all, the show lifts me up and makes a great start of the week for me, and at the same time, and wonderful wrap up of the weekend.
Vicki Dunbar
I live in Liverpool England and watch Touched by an angel 4 nights per week.Unfortunately we are a couple of seasons behind your schedule so we are only up to season 4.Recently I saw the episode `An Angel By Any Other Name` about Taylor the angel with Down Syndrome.In the show when he revealed himself to be an angel he said that people look at him and see the things that he hasn`t got instead of the things that he has.
Watching that episode took me back a couple of years when I was lucky enough to visit Lourdes in France on holiday.Every night there is a candle light prossession and everyone joins in,there are people on walking sticks, wheel chairs and even hospital beds with wheels pushed by helpers.
When we were there we saw children with no arms or legs and even without either, but still they were as joyful as could be singing their little hearts out.When we saw them we pittied them, but only because we were looking at what they didn`t have.
Keep up the good work
G.P.
Amazing grace how sweet the sounds of tonights show how
close to home it hit. I am the parent of two fine and
wonderful boys well one is full grown and i am a person who
has a Gift from God to hold the attention of many children
as a professional Mime. I have been in retirement for
several years and know that my oldest feels much like the
man who inherited his fathers candy factory. snd yet too i
can reflect back to my youthful days and say i too resented
the fact that my father had the world eating from his hands
as well and had little time for me. Amazing grace how sweet
the sound how wonderful thou art oh God my maker and
redeemer.
This show hit home so much for me and i was crying
through the last half and singing toowe need to reflect on
the blessings God has given us while we still have them.
Thorton Wilder wrote in the third act of his Play Our Town
"does anyone ever realize how wonderful Life is while we
still have it" Emily webb and MArthat williamson says tyhe
same thing tonight in this ep. " count your many blessings"
"count yhem one by one "
count your may blesings ssee what God has done" Count your
many blessing count them one by one counting your many
blessing when the day is done" A hymn i used to lead Senior
saints in that was missing from tonights show. Thank you
Martha thank you angels thank you God.

I think its great we have a show that can Present God in such a
way that everyone can understand. Its good to have Tv that doesnt
involve Sex, swearing, lying, cheating , Adultry etc etc like most
shows seem to have these days. This is a show that anyone, from
any age group can watch and get something out of.
Matthew
I love TBAA and
first got hooked during the time I was helping my best
friend through Luekemia. Unfortunately I did lose her
but, seeing some episodes and knowing that she was in
a peaceful place it helped. Her final dream really
changed me in a way I can't explain. I have
regrettably missed alot of the early shows of TBAA due
to working and I couldn't afford a VCR at the time
but, I watch every Sunday and try to catch the earlier
shows on PAX TV.
Thanks and God Bless,
Teri
I have been watching TBAA off and on for a few years now, and I never tire of it. It has touched a spiritual core in me that has, in turn, made me more serene than I have ever been. I meditate more, and have even been brushing up on my spiritual studies, focusing on Chrisitanity, Gnosticism, and Hinduism.
There are scenes that have made me cry, laugh, an even cheer. The actors who portray Tess, Monica and Andrew are absolutely believable in their roles, and I often react as if they really ARE angels. They are a credit to the show, to angels, and most importantly, to God.
Carol Klavon
I just wanted to add to the previous conversation
about the episode with Melissa Gilbert and her husband. That too is one
of my favorites, because it touched on so many different issues.
Alcoholism, the destruction it can cause a family, and the loss of a
child. Plus Melissa is such a wonderful actress. It makes you stop and
think do I really know my husband and son. In this fast paced world we
live in TBAA adds reality to my life.
TammyJo
I LOVE TBAA. I started watching it around December 1997. But the episodes
I was seeing were from a year or so before--our television shows are behind
the USA--so don't know exactly how much I missed.
I love the morals they teach and the storylines. I like the relationships
between the characters and also their relationships with God. They are so
real. I like that the show is bringing new people to God--or at least
opening their minds to the possibility of God.
I am somewhat up-to-date now on the show. The season finale shot in China
aired here a few months ago. But I also see the show in reruns on another
channel here. In fact, it is airing the first season's episodes when the
Angel of Death was Adam (Charles Rocket) instead of Andrew. I am enjoying
every minute of the older episodes. But I love the new ones as well.
Amy
WOW! What a powerful episode! And it even came with a suitcase full of
Irish accents. WOW! I cried during the dance scene when they were all
dancing together to the Irish music. I bawled during Monica's revelation
scene. And I ended it up by sobbing during the last scene at Tommy's
brother's funeral--especially when the other kids walked into the church
and they all sang the prayer of peace. So, I think that I've lost enough
tears for one night. Monica is an amazing actress. You could just feel
her passion and desperation for this issue. I liked how they linked in her
love for Ireland as being the first place that God placed her on earth.
By the way, have you heard me say "WOW!" yet. Okay, so you have. How
about awesome, stupendous, magnificent, wonderful, amazing, powerful,
touching, the list could go on and on. I loved last week's with Kenny
Rogers--okay, I cried then, too. But this weeks was made even more
powerful by the "realness" of it. To know that kids are living this way
every day. "Touched By An Angel" can have such far-reaching effects,
hopefully, the effects of this one will reach all the way to Ireland.
Good night and sweet dreams.
Michelle
I love the way the show gets to the people sitting on the couch
at home, it makes you feel like they're talking right to you..brillant
episode as usual Martha Williamson has out done herself. hope the next new
ep is just as good
kim
Actually I started to think
about acting not long after I started watching TBAA. Della, Roma, & John are
such wonderful actors and their roles as angels have affected people
(including me) in such a positive way. I just hope my acting will be able to
help people get through difficult times. To be perfectly honest I would LOVE
to be a 4th angel on the show, but I won't push my luck too much.
