today 8/9/2007 need I say any more
MISS YOU BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jerry my Brother, I too suffered the long road. You brought me so much peace before I could let go of the madness. When I finally surrendered, you where there wailing away and carrying me home once more. I have never forgotten what its like, and wont ever. My young ones even know uncle Jerry. My wife is converted, she has her own trip and spins her own way. Cant change the past, just look back and smile, we are all part of that unbroken chain.
God bless you and your family my brother...Goin down the road feelin bad....just for today....ONE DAY AT A TIME...
Couple of quotes that caught my eye
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. Thomas Campbell
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Helen Keller
BROKEN CHAIN
“Little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.”
RIP JERRY
This day 95. Saddest day in Deadhead History, one of the saddest days in my life. I miss you and think of you everyday.
I miss you Jerry.
You brought me so many smiles and so much joy and happiness for so many years.
Thank You.

I agree with aud. It is fitting.
Boy o boy, I still miss him like the dickens.

Peace to all on this day.
“The Omnipotent Grateful Dead!”
Somehow it just seems fitting that on this day in Grateful Dead history, there were no Grateful Dead shows.
I'll miss you forever, Jer.

It has been my perception that the real hardcore touring was more something that started to grow in the late 70's and got really big in the 80's and 90's. Yeah, people traveled a long way to see shows, but not to one after another across the country. I could be wrong, but don't think I am. There are others out there that know more about this than me. Any thoughts or memories?
