A truly lovely tribute to Tony, thank you for the link. What can one say? I said earlier that a point of light for all of us has been extinguished, and that is so true. Also a great example of how to go about a successful life. We are not born with an inner sense of how to go about living ‘happy’. That’s why positive role models are so important. Tony Snow was just that, and I so deeply miss knowing that he is not somewhere in the world, breathing the same air I do.
I remember the morning after my mom died ten years ago. She had died in the hospital, in the wee hours. We sat with her until she was gone, and finally, sadly left ... about an hour before dawn. At home, I sat in my chair, just staring out the window, unable to cry yet, just stunned that she was actually gone. As I watched the sun come up over the trees in my yard it hit me. Another day was beginning, like so many others, and mama was no longer a part of it all. Gone. That is what I am feeling about Tony Snow right now. Time keeps moving forward.... but he is no longer a part of time.
Thank GOD I knew this man was a believer who trusted in the finished work of his Savior. Thank God. I know where he is, and it is a good and wonderful place. I’m just so sorry for ME, and his family and the rest of us.
Kristol said: “Tony got 53 years to show the rest of us how to brighten a life and a world. We should be grateful. But I cant help being indignant that he didnt have longer.’... that’s really how I feel as well.

What a perfect summary of what so many of us are feeling.
Great idea.
Mark, ping. Have some ideas?
SurferBoy has been contacted to find out if there is a trust fund already set up. We hope to know soon, but this may take weeks to find out if one will be set up.
Indeed we have - hope you are keeping well it seems so long ago we posted to each other.
Thanks LUV!!! I still can’t believe Tony is gone. Just shaking my head.
Thank you snugs, and hi to you too. I hope you are keeping well. I do still read on FR, but don't post nearly as much.
I understand...it was hard for me to preview them...but his
voice was so sweet.
I have another one from one of the BOR shows that I will post sometime.
Thanks for sending the “heads up” to Surferboy....someone needs to put a stop to these low-lifes disrespecting funerals.
It has been SO hard!
I am fine thank you and big thank you for teaching me a few years ago how to post photos.
God bless you and yours Tony Snow’s passing certainly makes us realise what and who is special to us.
“You were a real class act.”
A perfect 5-letter word to describe Tony Snow!
RIP Mr. Snow.
Your addendum really cracked me up! LOL!!
Memory Eternal!!
Sad news...I liked the way he presented news, and the way he defended conservative American patriotism.
He will be dearly missed. God bless his family at this time.
At least he went Home to Jesus. That should be comfort to his kin.
Wow, did that ever pay off, to everyone's benefit.
