Thanks for the ping, save.

Happy Birthday to Tony! One of the good and classy gentlemen.

Bahbah is up there, still waiting in line to have a long conversation with you, Tony. If you see her, bring her to the head of the line.

Long live the “snoqs”.

We Miss Tony so much. A great commentator and Press Secretary. We were lucky enough to see him with his band in Concert in Auburn, WA one time.....great memories.

Never to be forgotten.

Tony was a very kind and decent man...his talent was a sideline to the fantastic person he was and example he set.

Snoq!

Thank you, old_sage_sys!

[saveliberty]

Tony left us all a wonderful gift, his integrity, talent, knowledge, optimism will be missed for years to come. A class act in every phase of his life.

Save, thanks for the ping, hope you are on the road to recovery

Tony was always a class act. I loved White House briefings, his show as it made America proud to have a clean and articulate well mannered conservative stump liberals!

I still remember his last WH briefing. I cried all day.

I know those who knew him have an empty spot in their hearts everyday, but carry on where he left off!

God bless his family.

You are welcome, Loud Mime!

Thank you, Sammie42! I get a bit better all of the time, I am just not where I need to be. The doctors are conferring on some additional procedures which may help, but it may be better to let nature take its course.

That was a beautiful post, YouGoTexasGirl. Thank you very much!

Mornings certainly haven't been the same.

I miss him and think of him often. His gift was to remind me that even though “God doesn’t promise us tomorrow, he does promise us eternity”.

In late April of 2007 a team of doctors informed me that without heart surgery, I might not have much more than 6 months to live.

On May 4, 2007 I went into the operating room. The surgeons removed a sack that was restricting my heart and gave me two bypasses. I suffered a stroke during surgery and contracted MRSA that ravaged my body, resulting in 2 months of painful Hell in that hospital and another year of recovery.

During those hours, days, weeks and months, I remembered the fighting, yet gentle, example that Tony had given to us all. I remembered those words, “God doesn’t promise us tomorrow, he does promise us eternity.” Somehow Tony gave me comfort, if only for a moment at a time.....

I survived my battles and it’s been 3 years so far.

I miss Tony, but I believe he is happy right now.

[saveliberty]

Oh my goodness! God bless and protect you, Gator113. Thank you so much for your beautiful post!

[saveliberty]

You are right, RasterMaster.

Thank you!

Tony did bring many of us together, but you are the glue that keeps the gaggle intact, so that we can unite to remember Tony rather than remember him alone. Guess at times it seems liking herding cats, eh?

Thanx saveliberty.

[AliVeritas]

Prayers up. I wonder what Tony’s thinking up there re: the present press situation?

I bet the press corps miss him terribly, right and left.

What a wonderful clip of Tony and his band playing. Thank you so very much as I had not seen it before. It also shows that Tony was not only a multi-talented person, but also a multi-talented musician.

This should be a keeper for all Tony Snow fans.

Dolly, you have a pix for every occasion. It does capture the essence of the Head SnowFlake.
