Saluting Tony Snow — service, address
The White House announced today that President Bush will attend Tony Snow’s funeral service, which will held be at 10 a.m. Thursday at Catholic University in Washington, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Tony’s successor, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, began her morning gaggle by saying: “Welcome back from what was a very sad weekend for all of us in the room — many of us who worked with Tony, both here in this room, but also I’m sure people who didn’t have the opportunity to be here when he was the press secretary here, knew him from his days on the radio and on television. We greatly appreciate your support and the prayers for Jill and the entire Snow family. She does really appreciate it. There’s a lot of love in this room for him and for the family. So we thank you. As the President said yesterday, Tony Snow was a great friend to everybody at the White House and I know he touched all of our lives.”
SO many readers were touched by Tony Snow’s humility, humor and resilience. The White House Correspondents’ Association has graciously agreed to field written messages for the Snow family (thank you, Julie Whiston and President Ann Compton):
