From my local paper this morning:

Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died Saturday after a long battle with colon cancer. He was 53. His father, Jim Snow, 76, who lives in The Villages in Lake County, talked about his son with Sentinel reporter Gabrielle Finley

“I saw him in the hospital, spent four or five days with him. I think the hardest thing is he looked like he was making a recovery on Thursday.

“His sister called me Thursday and said he had been able to sit up for about 15 minutes and they had reduced the amount of oxygen he had been on. Things were kind of looking up.

“His brother called and said there was hope. His doctors thought so, too; they were pleased.

“The prognosis was never great, but he was such a fighter. Friday, he just went downhill. He was so weak. He couldn’t fight anymore. . . .

“He was on the speaker’s circuit, and he loved to be with people; he loved to speak. He was always well-liked, but he liked his family the most, though. He loved and respected the president. But he was devoted to his family, and he wanted to make money to take care of his family. . . .

“He was big into music. He had a rock band — Beats Workin’ — they played all over the D.C. area.

“They had a lot of fun. He played the flute and the saxophone.”

“I saw him in the hospital, spent four or five days with him. I think the hardest thing is he looked like he was making a recovery on Thursday.

That's always that way it is. My grandmother was the same way. A friend of a friend was hit by a car a few weeks ago, he had internal injuries and was in and out of surgery for 2 days. He seemed like he was getting better and was even calling people on the phone. He died that same night. He was only 27.

It’s got to be incredibly difficult for him. (((((surferboy)))))

I am so sorry. I watched my friend who was 35 at the time die of Leukemia. I saw his last breath, it was the first time for me. I HATE cancer.

[saveliberty]

I am very proud of him.

I think it was noticeable that FNC had Ari on and Dana but not Scott who proceeded Tony I think that said it all

[saveliberty]

Also that Brit isn’t talking that much about our friend. I think that he’s deeply affected by Tony’s passing.

Griff did so well. Tony would be proud of him as well. Griff was so composed yesterday. I was crying off and on all day.

[retrokitten]

In a way, this friend of a friend reminded me of Tony. He was friends with everyone he met and really lived every minute of his life.

Did you hear Brit Hume? “He really could do anything!” LOL

Brit’s eyes got real wide when he said that.

Chris Wallace will let Tony have the last word today.

Bawling again
