My condolances to you, dinasour.

I will always treasure the notes that Tony posted to me. He made FR an even more special place.

Very sad.

In a way, Tony was blessed. Unlike those who die suddenly, he had time to ponder what was going to happen, set his life in order, and prepare his loved ones.

He faced this trial with grace, courage, and unshakeable faith. He was a good, decent man who is an example to us all.

Goodbye, Tony.

Thank you so much for the pings, dinasour, NautiNurse, saveliberty and Bahbah. I'm sorry for my late reply, we were away a few days without a computer...

I was just devastated when I heard the new about Tony on Saturday morning. I, like most FReepers, thought Tony was pretty much "on the mend" (per his last FR postings in May 2008) and that he had many years left and a bright future. I can't believe he is gone.

I didn't know him personally, but I am so glad I had the opportunity to see/hear him speak a few times at CPAC, and finally meet him, shake his hand and speak with him for a couple of minutes in February at CPAC. Honestly, he was the picture of health in February 2008... I actually exclaimed to him (as did many others) how wonderful he looked! And he was a bundle of energy.

After his fabulous speech, Tony stayed for well over an hour until all in the crowd had a chance to speak to him and/or pose for photos with him... he was SO upbeat and extremely gracious. I later saw him charging down the hotel hall - at a very fast pace - talking to someone excitedly about all the speeches he was going to be giving over the next few months. He was so happy and excited.

I'm afraid I'm having a bit of a crisis of faith, FRiends... I just do NOT understand how such a good and decent man had to be taken away from his family, friends and from this great nation, which desperately needs more Tony Snows. It's just so wrong to me...

Fervert prayers for Tony's wife Jill, and for their three lovely children...
