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.

Ed Marinaro's New Show "Blue Mountain State" Is Right Up Our Alley

Ed Marinaro is a former NFL running back who starred in the 1980s television show "Hill Street Blues." He's currently appearing on Spike TV's new program "Blue Mountain State," about a college football team. It is, he promised Imus, the raunchiest college football-themed show on television. That Marinaro wound up in Hollywood was more a product of inertia than of raw talent. Unsure what to do with his life after the NFL, Marinaro listened to the advice of those who said his good looks would land him some acting roles.

Ron Paul Compares Obama to Bush

Congressman Ron Paul confessed he's not much of a football fan, blaming his disinterest on a preoccupation with less sports-oriented issues. "I get fascinated with the Exchange Stabilization Fund, and things like that," confessed the 2008 Republican Presidential hopeful. Um. Yeah. Us too. Paul, who was born in Pittsburgh but represents Texas, was not sure about Frank Rich's suggestion in yesterday's New York Times that Wall Street poses more of a danger to working-class Americans than Al-Qaeda does.

Bo Dietl Tries to Say "al-Awlaki"

Looking slightly better than he did last week, Bo Dietl felt good today, and, at 59, has come to terms with the aging process. "Looking at you makes me feel good," he told Imus. "You look very good this morning — the jacket, the shirt, and the hat." Imus's hair, Bo added, looked "extra good" today, which led to extended discourse on the difficulty of making it look good. Imus praised the Fox hair department's efforts, saying that they've "got it goin' on."

Vince Flynn Can Do Way More Than Just Write

Novelist Vince Flynn has the same taste in music as 11-year old Wyatt Imus, in that they are both huge Green Day fans. "They're everything a rock band should be," said Flynn. "Giving the finger to everybody." Though a non-fiction writer, Flynn's books, like the current New York Times bestseller "Pursuit of Honor," require extensive research about the national security and intelligence operations in the United States. Thus, his thoughts on the recent attempted terrorist attack are more valid than one might think.

Mad Dog Russo on Francesa, the NFL, and ... The American Revolution?

It was a morning of resurrections on Imus in the Morning, and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo was no exception, protesting to Imus that he had not died, but had merely gone over to Sirius/XM Satellite Radio more than a year ago. "You have to buy the subscription!" he told Imus. "You gotta buy it! I'm your buddy!" During the baseball playoffs back in October, Russo and his former radio partner Mike Francesa did an hour together from Yankees Stadium, even though, as Imus hinted, they hate each other.
