Happy Birthday Jerry
Thanks for all you gave in your life time!!!
I'm happy to have got on the bus & thanks for playing me

Today I walked into a used bookshop and glanced through the music section as I always do and to my surprise I found Jerry's Amazing Grace Book (he illustrated it and it came with a cd of the song). This was my co-incidence for the day - as this is a favorite spititual song of mine and my wifes... Jerry continues to lift my spirit - the spirit does sing !

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I’m found,
was blind but now I see.

‘Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come.
‘Tis Grace hath brought me safe this far
and Grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been here ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,
than when we first begun.

Happy Birthday Jerry !!!

Thank you, for a real good time :)

Thanks for all the great memories! Every show was a rare and precious jewel to me.

Happy Birthday Jerry!

Our Love Is Real - Not Fade Away.....

and I feel sad. I was living in Vegas when Jerry died. I cried the most I ever cried in my whole life. Four days straight. My children were worried about me. They were 12, 11 and 5 at the time.

My husband and I had just taken them to their first Dead show in May of that year. We were sitting in the Phil Zone. We were surrounded by people from the Bay Area. They were the coolest people. They engaged our kids in conversation, asking them their favorite songs, how many shows they have been to, what was their favorite song. They were the nicest people. Dave Matthews opened for the Dead. During their show, Bob Weir's girlfriend (now his wife) came up to the Bay Area crew that were sitting around us and took them backstage. I only know it was Natasha because of her backstage pass hanging around her neck. My only regret in life is not jumping up and following those lucky bastards...and there were quite a few of them. My youngest child was 5 at the time and she still talks about that show. (She's 19 now). *Sigh* It makes a parent proud when you realize you've exposed your children to something good they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Love you, miss you, and thank you, Jerry! No one will ever take your place.
