Grateful Dead

A toast in memory of my Dad, xo~ May our love lead us to the best place we can find in our minds, our hearts and our souls. His take out of the bunch was first, then us, all. To his blessings on all of Us to Rock and Roll, xo! Cheers, clink and thanks if you joined in, xo!

They will all be on my prayers the family's alike. Life is very precious I found that out the hard way 3 years ago this October. Having lost the most wonderful girl I have known to date. Gone in the blink of an eye. So to all those in times of grief I pray. Prayer works. God works

Such a sad thing to happen. My deepest sympathy. Thinking of you and especially your partner at this time. Love to both of you. May your hearts have some peace.

Dave's family did what Dave would have wanted and donated his organs so that others can live. I won't do Phil's donor rap, as it is better coming from him and Phil actually knows what a gift he was given. Dave knows as well because he just passed life onto others. It is a way to give back. "you know better, but I know him....."

what a horrible thing. My condolences to you and yours, and Dave's family.

Dear, dear, dear... Great lovingkindness and every prayer for comfort during this time, to you and all. My soul sister lost her nephew to gunfire at an 7-11. He was so innocently in the wrong place too. Keep him alive through out the rest of your lives in spirit. Have his birthday with cake, candles and song. Celebrate who you are because you knew him and he will be close to you, so close as our love never dies. Every comfort, every comfort... to You and All, xo.

A young man (27) will be taken off life support this morning.Dave's family will offer up his organs to be harvested to assist others in need, as he has no brain activity anymore. Dave worked with my wife at a local non-profit. He was much like a 'work son' for Mary as he was in the age range of our three sons. He was enthusiastic, loved his work, was talented in many ways, a great co-worker for Mary, a friend to many, and a good human being who loved to laugh. Dave was walking home Friday before last, and was attacked from behind by cowards who wanted his cell phone and wallet. Dave had 3 skull fractures and has been in a coma for a little over a week. There was also a developmentally disabled 22 year old attacked the same night, in the same manner (who has now died) and 2 others who have been attacked (head injuries), in each case, the perps wanted their cell phones and wallet. Really? All in the little city of Lincoln, NE. Mary is heartbroken. Dave's family is devastated. I am in disbelief. Thankfully Dave's family is able to think of others and consented to the harvest and transplant process. That will mean life for others. Please send some healing vibes and prayers to Dave's family, friends, and to my Mary. May the four winds blow you safely home, Dave.

IN HONOR AND MEMORY TO: ALL POW MIA Prisoners of War and Missing In Action TO: All Their Families and Their Friends Their mourning and grief exceeds most, xo.

and look for "ray manzarek remembered by Doors bandmates, rockers" , please read Robby Krieger's post. Not only is it beautiful, it more importantly shows just how close it was to the Doors never happening if it hadn't of been for Ray's kindness and unique sense of other people's talents while at UCLA with Jim. (See how everything lead up....) In all the interviews I've had the pleasure of listening to over the years with Ray, not once did he ever have a bad word to say about anybody.........ever. RIP Ray. Thanks for a lifetime of treasured music.

from the time i was 15 to about 25 the Doors were a main stay in my daily routine. They had a profound impact on my life. I'm totally blown away by this. I didn't even know he was sick. Sad, sad, sad
