As tributes to this fine man pour in from all over the world, Catholic Online offers our prayers to his family and our deepest condolences on their loss. Tony Snow’s heroism in fighting cancer was another sign of the character which informed his stellar career as well as his commitment to family.
In his address to the graduates of Catholic University he spoke these words:... But see, there’s more. Once you’ve gotten past the mirror phase, then things begin to get really interesting. You begin to confront the truly overwhelming question: Why am I here? And that begins to open up the whole universe, because it impels you to think like the child staring out at the starry night: “Who put the lights in the sky? Who put me here? Why?”
And pretty soon you are thinking about God. Don’t shrink from pondering God’s role in the universe or Christ’s. "

"It’s trendy to reject religious reflection as a grave offense against decency. That’s not only cowardly. That’s false. Faith and reason are knitted together in the human soul. So don’t leave home without either one."

Our prayers are with Tony's family. God's will be done on Earth and in Parodies.

Dang, I had thought he would pull through this. Rest in peace, Tony...we’ll miss you. Make God laugh!I am glad he was wise enough to enjoy his last days with his family, his thoughts and the certain knowledge that he was respected and loved my millions who never knew him personally.
Condolences to his family and friends, and a final "rest well" to a good man.
RIP.

What a devastating loss to our Republic and his family.
WOW. GOOD FOR TONY. Wish he’d taken me with him.
