The Seed
the four-fingered Hand has sewn
the seeds have grown
to become one
To share all that is,
was
and all that might have been
they are happy to be and reach to the sky in rejoice
they bloom their flowers so that many can see
their celebration
the seasons pass, summer peaks
golden grass, the river weeps
And all the while, tears are cried
they fall to Earth, the dream has died
And in their fall, a seed awaits
to come anew in its watering wake
to once again, bloom together
to reach the sky, to love each other
For in the arms of Heavens Gate
the Hand that touched our lives will wait
And watch with love, all his children
'til the day we all come home.

As Jerry wrote, "we will survive," but the world will be a grayer place
without his guiding light. Our condolences to his immediate family and
to the millions of "Jerry's kids" everywhere.

I think of what someone once said of Emerson, that he was "the friend
and aider of those who would live in the spirit." It's hard to lose
friends like that. I'm sorry for us all. God speed.

Subject: Jerry's passing
It is sad to know that that we will never see him again. Like a leader
in the world, he is gone and can never be replaced. He will be sorely
missed, and never forgotten. it is incredible the power he had.
He was more than a cultural phenomena. He was such a big part of
these times that it was like he was a messenger from heaven trying
to show the way to a better world.
The outpouring of affection is witness to the love there is for him
between millions of people who are connected because of his
humanity and skills.
God love you, Jerry Garcia. Till we meet again!

Subject: Thank you Jerry
The sixties died today, I guess I can finally go home and tell my wife
I'm finally an adult. For a man who had so many "highs", he certianly
gave them to so many more. "Gone are the Days" that we can look forward
to a set of shows that will clear our "mental cobwebs" and give us a
much needed dose of a different reality.
Whether a fan was still part of the Counter Culture or part of the
mainstream of society, we all shared that much needed breeze of fresh air
generated by the finest melody lead guitar ever played. Many Deadheads
are not throw backs to a lost era, many are working professionals that needed
that timeout that only Jerry and the boys could provide. Gone now is the
semi-annual vacation I so looked forward to, gone now is my semi-annual
reunion with the largest extended family I have. Gone now is a space and
time that only could occur with a spatial trip provided by a searing solo
guitar sporting a dancing hula girl.
We tired to make a differnece in the sixities and maybe we did.
Certianly The Grateful Dead did, by proving that success can occur outside
the mainstream of a music industry fraught with over produced and thrown
together bands, purchased songs, and performers where musicians once
thrived.
If I have to be an adult now, it's sad to think it will be in a world
without a man who gave me and others so much. It's even sadder to realize
that we'll never again be in a place where all 16000 perple are smiling
To quote another fallen friend (Bill Graham), "it's not that they're the
best at what they do, they're just the only ones doing it."

dear Bobby, Phil, Mickey, Bill, Vince and Deborah:
i feel so sad ... yet at the same time so grateful for what Jerry
gave us, and then again so sad ...
i am so sorry none of us will ever get to see again his sunny face,
hear his very sweet voice, feel his warmth presence, enjoy
the happiness he created ...
it is such a waste, such an undescribable loss.
Jerry is in the light now, but our darkness has grown a little larger.
I feel so sad for you too. My heart feels for you.
with much sorrow and love

I am not exactly a fan of Grateful Dead, but knew the virtuosism
of Jerry Garcia, I saw him in 1989 in LA playing side by side with
Carlos Santana, Ruben Blades, and Tito Puente. I was really
surprised of his versatility. Since then i started to listen his music.
Long Live Jerry Garcia!

I just can't even think straight now. All I now is the world is a

RIP Jerry. You are deeply missed and loved.

As one who was touched so deeply by his words and music and deeds,
through what I only now realize were the best and most important years of my life,
Jerry's passing has left me feeling so alone,
yet so tightly connected with all of you who feel his loss as I do.
He will live on in each of us, whose lives he touched so beautifully.
I just want to pass along my deepest sympathies to those who miss him the most...
to his family and friends and everyone who knew him well.
My love goes out to you tonight, and always.

If a man's life is measured in how much
joy, happiness, and contentment he creates
for others then Jerry was without equal.
I feel blessed to have been touched by
the magic this man created.

I heard the Dead on three occasions in England in 1972. I have never
forgotten the heights that I reached listening to them in concert. I will
remember for as long as I am the icy steel guitar cutting through and
tickling my neurones. The band was inspirational.
To lose Jerry is a loss to all. May we all live with the memory of Jerry
and the values that were intrinsic to his being and beyond.
Love

Subject: Jerry
I loved him, his music, and how he made me feel. There is a feeling that is
so unique that I will never forget- and never experience again. You know:
when the boys hit the stage- and the lights are still out- but the crowd
knows. It spreads. Its electric- it made the hairs on the back of my neck
dance. It was anticipation, it was great to see you again, it was wondering
what tonight would be like. It was magic.
Jerry did things on the guitar that I never heard anyone do. His music did
something to me. I will miss him. I will always carry him and that feeling he
gave me.
My deepest feelings to those around him and all he touched.
Goodbye Jerry.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Jerry's family
and friend. Even though I am only fourteen years of age, Jerry
brought such happiness to my life in the short time that I
listened to him. On July 9th, 1995 I was able to see my first
ever Grateful Dead show (thanks to GDTS). I brought along my
father, and we both had a wonderful experience. I am lucky that
I was there to see Jerry preform that night, for his singing and
playing truly touched my father and I. By the way he sang
"So Many Roads", I know that he is in peace now up above us.
He will forever stay alive, in my heart, and in the hearts of
all the thousands of his fans, friends, and family.
Thank you Jerry, wherever you are now.
Sincerely,
Kevin Larsen

I offer my sincerest condolences to all of Jerry's family,
friends, and band partners. Although my experience with
the Grateful Dead has been virtually none, I have come to
understand what an impact this man's ideals had on the
thousands of his loyal fans. I regret his loss and the fact
that I was not more involved. Be strong and always know
that he is in a much higher place where pain is nowhere
to be seen. Thank You....

It's sad to see the passing of not just an icon but a symbol
of hope, of a lifestyle-- of so much promise. Life in general
has taken on a much harder edge in the past 20 or so years
and we need to be reminded of what is and was the essence of the
human spirit--I am afraid that a significant
part of that essence has left us this week. Let all of us
strive to keep Jerry's spark alive in us --for as long as we
can make a difference than Jerry Garcia will live in our
hearts, in our minds and in our souls. We must never
let his contributions be diminished but we must go on-- at
least we have Jerry's model of what the world could be
and still can be.

Subject: Some thoughts on Jerry
IT has been hard to keep my eyes dry these last few days. I admit,
Wednesday I did not stop crying all day, then I examined the message
that Jerry gave us, once the reality had sunk in.
Jerry always told us to be happy, to emjoy life, and to LOVE one another.
Jerry, we loved you, more than words can describe.
You were not an idol, an icon, an entertainer.. you were a friend,
an uncle, you were, and always will be, Poppa.
I'll never forget the sheer Joy you provided me in the 13 years I was a
truly DEADICATED fan, though I heard my first dead song about 16 years
ago. It took about 3 years, until I was 14 to really catch on.
You were one of the focal points in my life, and will remain so.
You are not dead, Poppa, you have merely left the shell you were confined
in. A shell that was worn out, a shell that you knew needed repair.
I bid you peace, Poppa. I love you.
For Debby, I wish you well. I know that what Jerry wants is for us to
all remember the good times, to remember the joy, to remember the
laughter.
A note to the band, as well.. Please go on.. after all, when we go to
your shows
"we're not doin' this for fun, ya know" - Poppa, 5/20/95
With much love and my deepest regards.
