Alice Stewart's friends and colleagues are paying their respects.
After the CNN political commentator died suddenly on May 18 at the age of 58, her peers, including Wolf Blitzer, are sharing their condolences.
"We always invited her to come on my show because we knew we would be a little bit smarter at the end of that conversation," the host told Jessica Dean on CNN Newsroom. "She helped our viewers better appreciate what was going on and that's why we will miss her so much."
Fellow CNN anchor Jake Tapper also paid tribute to Alice. "Horrible news about our beloved and gifted commentator Alice Stewart. Just awful," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, May 18. "We are all gutted."
That same day, The View's Ana Navarro-Cárdenas also shared her heartbreak.
"I'm very sad about this news," she wrote on X. "Alice was kind, decent, hard-working and a woman whose faith sustained her. She was a breath of fresh air -always professional- at a time when lack of decorum and civility reign in political discussions. May she rest in peace."
Along with being a commentator, Alice was also the communications director for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign, former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's presidential bids in 2012, as well as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's 2008 run.
"Heartbreaking," Ted shared on X. "Alice was wonderful and talented and a dear friend. And she loved America fiercely. She lived every day to the fullest, and she will be deeply missed."
Meanwhile, Alice's co-host for the Hot Mics From Left to Right podcast Maria Cardona also shared kind words about her integrity.
"I want everyone to know what a special person she was, especially in this industry," she said of her former colleague. "As you know, today's politics can be indecent and so dirty, and Alice was just such a loving, shining light."
