Tony Snow was gathered up in the arms of Jesus, and taken home to be with the Lord around 2:00 a.m. this morning.  I'd been praying for him yesterday, and feeling very sad...not knowing how close he was.  When I heard the news this morning, I just cried.  At our SMIA meeting today, we all shared our feelings and impressions of Tony Snow.  We were unanimous in our heart felt grief, but also in our belief that he was one of those "celebrities" who made you feel like you could approach him on the street as a long-time friend.  He made you feel joyful.  He made you believe he was just like you, only nicer. 



Tony, you will be sorely missed.  See you when I get there, my friend.
