Over the past few days two very special people lost their battle with cancer. I did not know Tony Snow, but he had always been one of my favorite Washington personalities and commentators. He was straightforward, honest, and decent with the people he interviewed. Just last week I was thinking that, apart from his illness, Tony would have made an interesting pick for Vice President. Katie was my niece's sister-in-law. She was extremely talented, always funny, and just fun to be around. As a musician and performer, Katie career was gaining momentum just when she was struck with her cancer.
Tony and Katie had a lot in common, but the one thing that stands at the top was their infectious love for life. They were always engaged with whatever or whoever was before them. That passion carried over to their battle with cancer. Their strength and their courage was amazing, earning respect from anyone paying attention. Our world, and certainly my world, will be a bit emptier now that they are gone.
