The passing of Jerry, 10th Anniversary

Well as most of you may know, 10 years ago today, we lost a great. I know I am not the only one who still is sad over his passing, and it is even harder on the anniversary. I am creating this thread for everyone to post their thoughts, and comments towards Jerry.

Peace and Love,

You may shed a tear

But always remember
that he is here
In are hearts
and in are
SOULS

 

I just listined to "Hes gone"....it kinda got emotional, I suggest you do it to.

 

Rest in teh peace, Jerry . Give 'em hell.

I never knew you
But then who really did?
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
A patchwork quilt of a life
Memories embroidered
On your soul

So please forgive me
For putting you in my song
But the spirit she moves me
In fact she pushes me along
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
Can't stop the river
Just let it roll

We were at Jones Beach
When we got the word
Saddest sound that I ever heard
The bluest note that nobody could play
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
And in the way

So walk beside me
Or above me, I don't know
These days it sure seems
I'm lost where ever I go

God, how could you, I heard someone say
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
Now that our North Star can no longer be found

But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
Hippies dance and babies cry
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
Bright lights, Dark Star

I never knew you
But then who really did
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid

 

man...jerry was a cool dude

 

Jerry was a sad loss to music, but he was becomming to big for himself couldn't stand the stress of being "Captain Trips". I was just in San Fran, and saw his memmorial on Height-Ashbury, along with the Grateful Dead's house at 710 Ashbury. Dagg is right, He lives through the music he created and therefore in the people who listen to it.

R.I.P. Jerry you will be forever loved

 

Jerry's physical body may be dead, but his soul and heart lives on in the music... the Dead will never die...

 

I don't get why people celebrate a person's death.

If you're gonna pick one day out of the entire year to remember him, shouldn't it be his birthday or something? If you really loved him, wouldn't you celebrate his life everyday of the year?
