This Isn’t Our Last Love Letter 

   
Dear Don Don,
 
Way back in 92

I walked into the room and knew

Never felt this way before

I shook your hand while gazing into your eyes

And the feeling grew

As I took a seat I knew

A love that would have my heart

Forever

I knew

Way back in 92


They say love at first sight doesn’t always last or isn’t true

We were the exception to that rule

Our love had no where to hide

A spark set fire

As if this is how the universe started


I never doubted our love or what we could do

Together we grew

Forming a bond everlasting

That became our glue

My euphoria was YOU

I’m eternally grateful for the love and life we shared

For how fortunate we were :

“to have and to hold
through sickness and in health
Til death do us part”

Until we are together again

This isn’t our last love letter

I love you with all my heart and soul

Yours forever,

Deirdre  (Mrs. Hank Snow)

I’m fortunate to have fallen in love with, marry and make a life with the sharpest, coolest, funniest, most rare, bad ass, tender loving, loyal man on the planet, my husband Don Imus.


A True American Hero

 

I don’t know why it has been so hard for me to write about my dear friend Don Imus.

I certainly know what he meant to me, my family, my charity, my hospital and the millions of fans that listened and loved him for so many years.


I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

But what most people don’t talk enough about is what he did for all of us.

 

In every sense of the word, he was an American Hero. His work with children with so many different illnesses and his dedication to their future was unmatched by anyone I have ever known or heard about.

Besides raising over $100,000,000 for so many causes, he took care of young people for over 20 years in a state where he could not breathe.  Along with his incredible wife Deirdre, he created a world where children were not defined by their disease. That was a miracle! He was a miracle.

 

I will miss him ever day for the rest of my life.
I was blessed to be a part of his and Deirde’s life.
No one will ever do what he did.
I love you Don Imus - A TRUE AMERICAN HERO

A Tribute To Don Imus

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust 

Don Imus Was Abrupt, Harsh And A One-Of-A-Kind, Fearless Talent

By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.

Neil Cavuto: Fan, Friend, or Foe?

If Neil Cavuto was worried about his pal Imus, he had a funny way of showing it.

“You seem a little prickly this morning,” said Cavuto, the senior vice president, managing editor, and anchor of business news for the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

Imus’s prickliness was the result of being offered advice on how to, as Cavuto put it, make an already great program that much greater. Unfortunately, Imus didn’t want to hear it.

“Listen, Mr. Mount Olympus,” said Cavuto. “I’d like to introduce you to EARTH!”

Told to “lighten up,” Imus’s reply was, “Butt out.” Touché.

Then, in an effort to waste everyone’s time, Imus peppered Cavuto with questions about his official bio, which boasts that he has interviewed all of the Fortune 500 CEOs.  

Cavuto was most impressed with Microsoft’s Bill Gates, he said, though he also liked Lou Gerstner, the former head of IBM who “put all the critics to shame with a good sense of humor and very, very sharp management mind.”

Imus used to call Gerstner “Fat Lou,” because he had a full face. “Like you,” he told Cavuto. “But you have a round face, and you’re fat.”

Cavuto loves Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric; only met Apple CEO Steve Jobs once; has interviewed Viacom’s Sumner Redstone; and is a huge fan of Sirius XM’s Mel Karmazin.

“Can we just move on?” Cavuto said, finally. “It’s actually boring me now, and I don’t know why I’m here.”

Mercifully, Imus asked some relevant questions, like why President Obama shouldn’t be going around saying he “created or saved” 3.5 million jobs as a result of the stimulus.  

“We have strict ways to follow progress in the economy,” said Cavuto. “The President is saying, had he not done this maybe these jobs would never have materialized, but we don’t change the math to suit our programs or fancy here.”

Elizabeth Hasselback broached this subject, albeit mildly, with Obama on “The View” yesterday, but Cavuto said he would have pressed Obama harder on the numbers.

“Maybe then you’d win that Cable Ace Award,” Imus said, referring to the five nominations Cavuto brags about in his bio, despite never having won one. Unlike, say, Imus, a four-time Marconi Award winner.

Despite his professional accomplishments, Cavuto sensed the I-Man was feeling down this morning. “I want you to be happy,” said Cavuto. “I want you to be grateful. And I want you to feel the love. “

So you’re the one…
