America has lost one of its great Christian patriots; however America’s loss is Heaven’s gain. Tony Snow went to be with Jesus at 2 a.m. this morning; he died at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
I emailed Tony last year after I read an article of his in World magazine on his faith and perseverance facing cancer. He was not only kind and grateful for my sending him a note; he was gracious and personal in his response back to me. I remember first hearing Tony’s mellow voice in Germany when he would substitute for Rush Limbaugh. America has truly lost a great Christian American patriot.
My son Eddie admired him greatly now and it brings me joy knowing he’s worshipping Jesus in Heaven with a fellow brother in Christ he only knew from afar on earth.

“It’s trendy to reject religious reflection as a grave offense against decency. That’s not only cowardly. That’s false. Faith and reason are knitted together in the human soul. So don’t leave home without either one.”

Tony Snow was one of a kind… always optimistic, always smiling and always willing to tell you the plain truth.
I remember him as far back as the mid 90s, filling in for Rush when he was on vacation and in the 13 years or so of having watched him on tv, read his columns and listened to him on the radio, I never found a bad thing to say about him.
Even through his cancer, he remained cheery and looked forward to the future. He was determined to not sit around moping, waiting to die and he was an inspiration to us all.
My heart goes out to his wife and two daughter.
