but Catholic Online has a nice piece this morning:

I love that they used this very funny sequence of pictures in their serious and lovely article.

I am trying to draw from Tony’s positive outlook and I am not doing well at all.

You are doing fine, save. We are allowed to mourn his loss. Then we'll pick ourselves up and go on and do our best to carry on those wonderful lessons we learned from his remarkable life and outlook.

I’m not able to attend the funeral today. Trueblackman is there. He told me three Code Phelps freaks are across the street.

Hey rd, that looks like every person who ever posted on the Tony Snow thread.

Perhaps this is the time to again post one of tony's last messages to us.

"One consoles as one can; with love and steadfastness. The purpose of consolation is not to proclaim judgment; that’s someone else’s job. In times of grief, one gives one’s heart to another, in ways that will provide solace rather than pain — to embrace, them, help them and support them. Paul notes that one needs to be all things to all people in practicing one’s faith. And in times of grief, one must be a selfless friend."

sl, like I said, I've been avoiding the Tony threads because it hurt so much but I am so very, very glad his kids will get to read these some day when they're older!

Has anybody suggested maybe making one tribute thread for the Snowkids? Kind of like an e-scrapbook with all the best & most moving remembrances of freepers & public figures so they can open it up whenever they need a (((hug)))) & remember just what a wonderful treasure their Dad was to so many people?

I am sorry you can’t be there, kristinn. Will Trueblackman give us a report? We would all love to hear about it!

Thanks for all your help.

It’s been a bad week and I have not been free to go online.

I’ll be out of the country next week, as well and I am not sure I’ll be able to get on as much.

Hugs.

Another melting Snowflake reporting in—I just can’t believe why we’re all here. I’m crying and I haven’t even read any of the threads yet!

Thank you for starting this thread, saveliberty. We have to remember that this is a Celebration of the Life of Tony Snow, dearly loved by so many of us.

trueblack man told me in a post that they will have video camera covering them, in case there is any questions about the conduct of code pink or the westboro nuts.

Thank you so very much for posting this article, leilani. What a superb example of facing death with dignity.

From the final paragraph:

A man at peace with facing death as a final friend,Tony has finished the race. May "His Soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the Mercy of God Rest in Peace”.

Good morning, sl. Sad day for us.

I know what you mean about having fun on threads. The Levin thread is most like our SNOWFlake thread as far as we are a bunch of friends who like to gather there. Of course we love Mark, and he posts from time to time... not nearly as often as Tony did, but when he does we go wild. Mark was also a friend of Tony’s.

Kevin will represent us well. And one thing is certain, you would be there if you could. God bless you both.
