Chick,

I love that you are wearing white today too! And your sparkly snowflake earrings. I bet you look like a snowy angel!

I still have the live feed up of the basilica, but I haven’t been paying attention, really, because it mostly looks like a still shot. Someone walked really close in front of the camera and it freak me out for a second! LOL!!

Here is my favorite Indian poem which I have passed on to friends who have lost loved ones. This is hard to believe, but when I went in just now to look for a copy, it was on top of my desk—with photographs of our yard after one of the few snowfalls we had here in Philadelphia this winter! This is definitely a God Wink!

I’m Not Here

Don’t stand by my grave and weep
For I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamonds glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

When you waken in morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die.

There will be a full moon tomorrow night!

Farewell, beloved friend.

“Faith is everything” ..... Again, wow! What a wonderful, positive man he indeed was. I never met him, yet it still feels to me like I lost a member of my own family. I do NOT feel this way when other ‘celebrities’ die. But Tony was, first and foremost, a Believer. As a believer, we are all a part of one another, even if we live on opposite sides of the planet.

Tony lived a good life. He fought for that life, full of optimism and hope, until the end. Then went home to God. I am grateful he lived, sorry he died so young, comforted, KNOWING where he is right now.

Looks like it might be nearly over...activity around the
camera area.

I wonder if the camera can pan in to anyone leaving.

That is lovely! Thank you for posting!

I was in a store yesterday and saw a book called “90 Minutes in Heaven” about a man who had “died” in an accident and was later revived. I read a few part in it where he was trying to describe what heaven was like. He said that there was music all around and hundreds of simultaneous hymns of praise. And that it was not like you were just hearing the music...the music was inside you and part of you. I was thinking “Tony would love that!”. I know he is filled with indescribable joy right now, and that makes me smile.

You ARE a Snowflake! Anyone who loved and respected Tony
for the compleat professional and gentleman that he was is
a Snowflake!

I now have on my snowflake pendant in his memory. My memory
isn’t so good...I nearly forgot! Yikes!

With gray hair! Now I have to find a bit of red and black. I’ll bet next to his family, Tony loved Davidson best.

The first thought I had when the news came about Tony was that he would be the most beautiful angel!

I’m praying that we will be able to hear all the tributes to him later. The love inside the Basilica must be totally awesome and I know Tony’s Presence is being felt by all. I truly believe Tony was a very special messenger of God. I don’t know of anyone who has touched so many people as Tony Snow.

“We don’t know much, but we know this:
no matter where we are, no matter what we do, no matter how bleak or frightening our prospects, each and every one of us each and every day, lies in the same safe and impregnable place in the hollow of God’s hand.”
Tony Snow

God Bless Tony and his family. What a good and decent man.
