Found these thoughts of Tony given by Tom Brokaw:
Remembering Tony Snow: As NBC’s Tom Brokaw said Sunday on “Meet the Press,” it’s been a tough year for Washington. Tony Snow fought a valiant fight against cancer.
His ability to stay optimistic during all this was inspirational. He made the transition from politics to journalism (and back) with grace.
He didn’t hide who he was, but treated his partisan opponents with class. It’s why Snow was so popular. Trust us: Good luck finding a Democrat who has bad things to say about Tony.
Sure, he may have been a partisan, but the guy was simply nice. He wasn’t someone who participated in the cheap shot culture of our business.
Finally, the thing we political junkies loved about Tony was his ability not to take himself too seriously — whether emcee-ing a comedy show or playing his music — he showed it was OK to have a good time, even during the most heated times.
Washington’s going to miss Tony’s smarts, class, optimism, and sense of humor.

He concluded his note to me by saying, ...just remember, the good guys always win in the end...
Thank you for sharing that, rb...now I'm really crying.

Tony --
May the angels lead you into Paradise.
May the martyrs come to greet you on the way.
May they lead you home to the holy city,
to the new and eternal Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels come to welcome you.
May they take you to the arms of Abraham,
where Lazarus is poor no longer,
and there may you find rest, rest eternal.

No Clinton, laughing then wiping his eyes when he sees the camera, in this group!
