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.

FOX

DateMonday, September 14, 2009

Unless you've been hunkered down in a lead-lined bomb shelter for the past six months, you already know that, after almost two years of virtual TV exile, Imus in the Morning is going over to Fox Business Network. Don't get me wrong, RFD is a great channel, especially for those of us obsessed with livestock, polka bands, and toy trains. But although the I-Man was raised on a cattle ranch, dresses as if he were one of the characters in Of Mice and Men and has a brother who has been known to have sex with farm animals, RFD was never a good fit. With the move to Fox, Imus is finally coming home. To be on a cutting-edge financial network is such sweet symmetry. Because, all kidding aside, and despite his image as a whiny, cranky, megalomaniacal and psychotic sadist in a jean jacket, what IS Imus, after all?

A rich white guy.

Check that. A very rich white guy. A VERY, VERY rich white guy. He has a penthouse on Central Park Weest, a 30 Muh muh muh MILLION dollar estate in Connecticut, a chauffeur-driven limo and uses 100 dollar bills to wipe his mouth after eating his Habanero Pepper sandwiches. This is not a man who should have EVER shared the airwaves with cattle auctions. This is man who should be around money. Lots and lots of money. And surrounded by a bunch of attractive people who will tell him how he can make more of it. Which is why Fox is the perfect place for him to hang his cowboy hat.

Everyone is very excited about the move uptown and up the broadcast ladder. That is, except for maybe Neil Cavuto, whose relationship with the I-Man is about as tenuous and tranquil as the one between Israel and Palestine. The nasty email exchanges and snippy on-air conversations would seem to indicate that Mr. Cavuto is looking forward to seeing Imus in the hallways of Fox every morning, about as much as he would eagerly anticipate gum surgery. The other morning, as Don hammered him relentlessly in yet another, tense interview, you could literally hear Neil's eyes rolling back up into his head. It was a painful ten minutes, where you could easily imagine Cavuto holding the phone away from his ear, making the same face someone does when they've mistakenly tasted spoiled milk, a thought balloon above him that reads "Somebody...PLEASE SHOOT ME NOW." The Schadenfreude of watching this suffering every morning will give us all a reason to want to come to work every morning.

We will miss many things about RFD...our crew, the Nanny Cam, and, f course, those Hee Haw reruns. But what we will pine for the most is the slogan Craig Crawford coined for the program: "Just One More Cow".

In the interest of continuity, and in the spirit of new beginnings, allow me to offer the following:

"Just one more dollar, baby. Just one more dollar."
