Tony Snow
A sad day. Tony Snow died yesterday morning at age 53 from colon cancer. A terrible loss for us all. He was a rare person of great and gifted talents for kindness, thoughtfulness, compassion and a big heart for living with an infectious and disarming smile. He will be greatly missed.
Who is Tony Snow you might ask? You would probably not know him unless you followed White House politics and the FoxNews Channel. He was President Bush's press secretary for almost two years, a former journalist, an anchor on FoxNews, and a conservative talk-show personality. Tony came from a modest background. His father was a school teacher in Cincinnati and his mother a nurse. She died from colon cancer when Tony was seventeen.
Tony has a wife, Jill, and three fine kids that he adored. He was fun-loving with a sense of humor and an optimal outlook on life in general. He had a reverence for his belief in God and Christianity.
What is it that made Tony such a great and wonderful guy, and so many others jerks, especially in the news media? I would like to know. We need more like him.

What a wonderful tribute to Tony Snow in your latest blog yesterday. He was indeed a very special person who graced this world to show us that life is a wonderful thing and we should enjoy every day to the fullest without complaining, whatever our lot in life may be. He was God's special angel who came to teach us to look for the good in everything in life that we might encounter. His love for his God, country and family is an inspiration to us all. He taught us all lessons that we take for granted. His smile was so contagious. Such a tragic loss. But God knows best and had a purpose in taking him. My own beloved Buster had an attitude like Tony. In the 15 years that he suffered from all of his medical problems, never, ever once, did he say "Why me?" and he did suffer greatly. He taught me many lessons about life and love.
Thanks for sharing your blog with us. Truly touching.
Love, Mary Lou
