I am sure that the Secret service is doing a marvellous job.

Darn this is gonna make me cry.

[Fawn]

It’s still unreal to me that he passed on.....he was so kind. Jeez...Russert and now Tony.....I think God is starting his own news channel up there....

[pgkdan]

BTW, I do not think that Tony had life insurance. There is a trust fund set up to help the kids with their education.

If there's any advice I can give to young people with children...no matter how healthy you think you are get adequate insurance now to care for your family in the event of your death. You can buy term insurance for very little money...if you wait until you know you need it you won't be able to buy it. I was one of those guys who thought I was never going to die. I had insurance at work and thought that was enough. Then I got a cancer diagnosis and now life insurance is impossible to buy. Don't put it off.

Prayers for you and your family, pgkdan.

[saveliberty]

Me too.

It’s upsetting when I see clips of Tony. I love watching and listening, but it’s devastating to face up to the reality that he is gone.

[leilani]

sl! I've not been able to watch any of the coverage, so whatever I've seen so far has only been by accident - his leaving hurt a lot more than I ever imagined. My mom taped all the tributes on fox for me to watch later but I told myself I was absolutely not going to miss his funeral if it's televised, even if I have to tie myself to the TV.

I wonder if C-span might have something?

(((leilani)))

It might be good to check C-Span, but we don’t know if there will be live broadcasting.

[The Mayor]

That’s quite the ping list....

Tony was highly respected and well Loved.
I will miss his presence as I know many will.

God Bless his Family.

Thanks for the ping Save.

I have to run to town, but look forward to reading the thread when I get back. This is going to be a very rough day for Tony’s family, friends, and Snowflakes...:-(

Today is the hard part. Today the finality sets in.

Phew............ reality sucks sometimes.

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks for the thread and ping sl.

Tony rests now in the Everlasting Arms of the Lord. We will always miss him, but we cannot wish him back to the suffering he undoubtedly went through.

May God bring comfort, grace and blessings to his family.

Russert and now Tony.....I think God is starting his own news channel up there....

Heh! It's often remarked about the Angel Band when musicians die. I don't know how we'd refer to a heavenly news service.

That ping list has some of the finest FReepers that I have had the honor to know.

Those threads were truly special, and will be very hard to
to duplicate .
