Fox News is announcing that Tony Snow has died.
Heartbreaking news.
I am so sad. I was heart broken when I heard his cancer had returned. He was a great man, a great entertainer, thinker, communicator, and very trustworthy. It also sounds as though he was and still is a great inspiration to many. I have enjoyed the tribute given to him today on FOX. It has been a tremendous outpouring from those that knew him. He was and is greatly loved. God bless his wife and family.
Thank you Dita!
It was a request, and I am glad I could find it.
I’ll bet he IS having the time of his....next life....
He would tell us not to mourn because it’s so wonderful
there, but....we can’t help it!
RIP Tony Snow. He was a decent man. May his soul rest in peace.
Thanks, luvvie .. ;)
NordP I hope you don’t mind...I posted this on Michelle Malkin’s site as well. There are some very nice comments there about Tony.
Reading this thread, I changed my screen saver 3 times.
Just getting ready to shut down, and there is Tony, with his “incandescent smile” as someone said tonight—Brit Hume?—lighting up the screen as he lit up all our lives!
Prayers for Jill and the children as they struggle thru this first night without their husband and father.
Forgot. It’s the photo of Tony posing with his Cuss Jar!
what you said.
And La E., nice to see you exercising your SnowFlakeness. 8)
This is my last scan of the Thread before I head off to bed. [As mentioned previously, we leave for WVA early in the morning.]
It has helped ease the sorrow that I feel about Tony's passing to share that feeling with other friends, old and new, who are trying to comfort one another. Thank you, it has helped greatly.
And lastly, the idea of commemorating Tony by doing 5 acts of random kindness seems a wonderful gesture. I would add one more possibility. We might mark our calendars to remember Tony next June 1, 2009, on his birthday, with a memorial reunion Thread.
As I write this, I am watching the closing moments of O’Reilly, who is showing some “Snow” clips. BOR can't get thru an entire show without calling Tony “Snow”. That aside, Tony thought the world of O’Reilly which goes to show his wide spectrum of friends. [Golly, even BOR teared up at the end.]
It has been a very sad day, but it was bittersweet. It has been wonderful to see so many SnowFlakes and friends gather together to share and comfort.
God bless you all.
God bless Tony Snow, and the Snow family.
FOX
Tony was one of those people you see on TV and just know what you are seeing is real. He came across to me as a very likeable guy, but filled with a quiet inner strength.
I will miss him very much.
Very wonderful suggestion - thank you.
A fine telejournalist, and a nice man to boot. He fought and fought, but unfortunately died too young.
(((Foxy))) Have a nice time in West Virginny.
And, I truly feel Tony wants us each to do something joyful in memory of him.
I’ll get around to it as soon as I stop crying....:)
Goodnight to you and thank you for your very inspiring comments on this thread. God bless you, keep you, and bring His healing mercies to you. And may God bless and guard and keep safe your loved ones -all of them but especially the ones serving our nation in the military.
God bless you, FFV! I think a Memorial Thread would be wonderful, because I am going to miss everyone here so much! We have no real reason to get together any more...no more BOR or awards or...anything...
Glad you agree with me on Kenny G. :D
Have a good trip. Hope to talk again sometimes. Stay safe...
(((((hugs)))))
:D
Everytime I quit crying, I read something else that brings it all back. *sniff*
Prayers going up For Tony and family.
Wow...nearly 1600 posts...wouldn’t Tony be shocked!!!!
Condolences to you on the death of your grandmother. Yes lost an uncle this week. Seems have lost quite a few good ones recently. We say “lost”. Because we mourn them and miss them so. But heaven has them - safe and whole. We’ll trust that we’ll see them again and what a rejoicing that will be! God bless and comfort you, though, in your loss.
Sad day.....
Much to miss about Tony. May God bless his lovely family!
