We will miss you Jerry. What a great sight to see and remember. I do not know him and he had no idea who I am, but he greatly influenced me, as do you living members of the Grateful Dead. I can just see this giant dancing skeleton in the sky that is Jerry. It seems, despite all this mumble about being happy, that a terrible thing has happened but really this is not true.
Life is relative to death.
One is no better or worse. At least the intent to kill never came into the picture, he just had to pass on. It must hurt inside, but we cannot crave too much to be with him. We must let him go as he has. I'm just a guy that listened to the music play, and enjoyed it, and found spiritual depth in the lyrics and transcendent joy in the intricate guitar work.
