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.

Imus Disturbed By Lis Wiehl's Wedding Singer

Fox News legal analyst Lis Wiehl went to la-di-da Harvard and la-di-da Columbia, so who better to talk to about the Amanda Knox case in Italy? Apparently, Imus, who, despite having no college education, was in possession of more facts.

Amanda Knox, University of Washington student, was studying in Italy and living with a girl she did not particularly like. That girl turned up dead, and Knox was implicated.

"She spent 14 hours in an interrogation room with no attorney, no translator, nothing," said Wiehl. Last week, Knox was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison for a crime that Wiehl said she would have been acquitted of in the U.S.

The prosecutor's theory was that Knox's roommate wouldn't go along with a menage a trios with Knox and her boyfriend, and so Knox killed her.

"The prosecutor said she didn't 'react appropriately' when she heard about her roommate," Wiehl said, and wondered if Imus could identify with having such negative feelings toward someone.

"Don't involve us in this!" Imus cried, and asked whether Knox's fingerprints had been at the scene. Wiehl said none of her DNA had been found, but that Knox was accused of removing it, which is ludicrous if not impossible.

Bernard interjected that an African drug dealer was also convicted of the crime, and that Knox's boyfriend, whose DNA was found at the murder scene, was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in jail. Wiehl argued otherwise, and everyone was pretty confused, until Imus finally changed the subject to something even more troublesome.

"It's disconcerting to know that Michael Bolton sang at your wedding," he told his guest, who is married to fellow attorney "icky" Mickey Sherman.

Because Imus asked, Wiehl said she's a feminist, and had been initially supportive of Sarah Palin; until, that is, Palin opened her mouth and "kept getting in the muck."

Not only was her 12-year old daughter disappointed by Sarah Palin, but her 17-year old son has been let down by Tiger Woods, whom Wiehl called "an icon."

"Your kid thinks Tiger hanging with the babes and the porn stars is bad?" Imus said incredulously "Is that what he told you and Mickey?"

Wiehl was jetting off to Los Angeles today to discuss the screenplay for her novel Face of Betrayal, a copy of which she brought for Deirdre, who allegedly had asked for one.

Said Imus, "I'll paint your house if she reads it."
