God speed, Tony. You will be missed. Prayers of comfort and hope to your family and friends. God bless.
To the AP and it’s “contributors”, on the other hand…..well I won’t say what I would like to say out of respect for Mr. Snow. He would have just smiled and said it doesn’t mean a thing.
Still, you disgust me, Mr. DOUGLASS K. DANIEL of the AP. I pray you wake to your shame and apologize to the late Tony Snow and his family.

My God, I loved this man. He was magnificent to watch, a measure of wry humor, tolerance, and razor sharp wit, yet the kind of guy who would know the names of everyone he worked with, including those who cleaned the building. He is irreplaceable. That’s all there is to it. My prayers and thoughts to his family and friends. He was my friend, too, though I never knew him. I wish I had.

Foxfier,

What a nice tribute your sister paid to Tony Snow. It shows that good works and good lives matter.

I think the only other time that the passing of a stranger affected me in the same way as Tony Snow’s passing would be Michael Kelly’s.

PS-
Mouse asked me to add on:
And I am pissed beyond words that some stupid story about Madonna and Brittany was at the top of the Yahoo page, and this was way down the page.

My little sister– who is as ignorant of politics as I am of fashion or pop culture– gave him this tribute:
I just found out Tony Snow died. I’m in shock, I thought he was doing good. I’m actually sad, I really liked the guy.

That my sister KNEW who this man was– she would have to take a few guesses at “Pelosi”– and cared about him enough to email me at the first word of his death, shows how powerful and good he was.

SPQR, The words of Mark Steyn and Tim Blair are poignant and they reminded me of this Christianity Today article in which Tony Snow shared his thoughts on life and death.

Mark Steyn describes Tim Blair's interaction with Tony Snow. The best line: "He was an amazing man who gave the impression he had all the time in the world for everyone he met. Which, of course, was the one thing he didn't have."

Awesome man, a man of faith, courage, honor, service and love. Dear Mr. Snow: Thanks so much for the great example of a life well lived, enjoy Heaven and please pray for all of us down here, won’t you?

Jenny,

I had not e-mailed him. It was a surprise to see that comment.
