but what are the rest of us to do, as we lose these wonderful patriotic good people.....We carry on. We use these wonderful people as role models. I don't believe that ANYTHING is an accident.
If Tonk was an example to you, know that God put him in your life for a reason.

My prayers for Tonk’s family.
He has been so missed...
This is the first time..in a very LONG time..that I feel like he will know what I am saying..
We love you Tonk.
Thank you for the support you gave to our family before, during and after deployment.
We valued your advice, opinions and knowledge more than you will ever know.
You were a true example of an American Patriot and I have been glad to know you.

I’m so sorry to hear this very sad news.
Free Republic just hasn’t been the same since Tonk became ill.
I will continue to pray for his family and friends.

I did not know you in real life, Tonk, nor in Freeper life. But reading through this outpouring of affection you must have been a helluva fine man. Your spirit lives on in the lives of those you have touched. What a fine spirit it must be.
Thanks for keeping Hanoi Kerry out of the White House.
