The OFFICIAL Net.Sympathy.Card
John J. Wood
This is the card that will be mailed to the Mydlands and the Grateful
Dead family.
Mark Moline will be working on the typesetting. I have received a FAXed sample,
and it's beautiful. As you will see by the names and love expressed,
Mark has an enormous workload ahead of him. Mark, I can't thank you
enough.
The typeset card will be mailed to four sources, which I can not disclose.
However, they will NOT be lost in the shuffle: they will DEFINITELY
make it directly to the family and the band. You have my word on this.
I cannot thank you all enough. This is the most special project I have
ever been involved with. I just wish we could have united under happier
circumstances.
My thoughts and love go to each and every one of you who helped.
John J. Wood
================================================================================
To the Mydlands and the extended Grateful Dead family:
We wish to share our deepest sympathies and condolences with you for this
terrible loss. We will always carry Brent in our hearts. We hope it is of
some comfort that though he no longer walks the Earth, he lives in our
fondest memories and most precious dreams.
May he rest in peace.
Peace & Love,
The Members of the

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of
Brent Mydland. The Grateful Dead have been an important part of my
life for the past twelve years, and in nearly all of that time
Brent was one of the main reasons I enjoyed the Dead's music so much.
I will never forget how I loved listening to him and watching him play;
watching him become totally absorbed into the giant symbiotic wholeness
that forms when the Dead's music takes off; watching and listening to
his beautiful playing and interplay with the other band members.
Although I never met Brent personally, I feel as if I've lost a member
of my family; and perhaps in some sense I have.
Time passes, the wheel keeps turning, and I imagine that in time a
new face will appear behind the keyboards at Grateful Dead concerts.
I know in my heart, though, that the sparks of emotion and transcendance
that were Brent Mydland's musical and spiritual contribution to the band can
never truly be replaced.
I wish all of you peace in this time of sadness.

Words cannot express what my immediate family and I feel. Brent MADE a
difference. We will always remember his sweet voice and melodic playing.
His lullabies helped us through many long nights with our little ones.
If there was one line we could pass onto Brent now, it would be:
You don't know how easy it is to love you.
Good bye and thank you from the bottom of our hearts-

Dear Mydland family,
One time when I saw Brent's band, Go Ahead, I was standing
directly in front of him, almost close enough to touch him. I could
hear him so clearly and it had a lasting effect on my impression
of him. At this tiny, intimate venue I think I could hear his unamplified
voice directly, I was so close to him. It just knocked me over. I remember
thinking "my god, I've never heard him sing so sweetly before". His
voice was breathy and beautiful with such sweet phrasing and emotion
that it just stung my heart. He was singing the Perfect Note. I looked
him in the eye and he was totally involved in his music. Brent sang
from his heart and at that moment he reached mine in very direct
communion as he sang so sweetly. I liked him before but after
that I really respected him.
Later, as Bobby came out for his solo thing, Brent apeared at the
back of the tiny hall amongst the audience. He just came out there
to grab a beer and stand around and gab with whatever deadheads wanted
to come up to him. No big ego with this guy.
I don't know much about him personally though I've seen him play maybe
130 times. But I do know that piece of beauty that was in him that
came out when he played. I know the emotion he would allow to come out
into the open for all to see, unafraid and perhaps unable to hold it back.
I know the power of singing I Will Take You Home to my own little girl,
Ellie, at bedtime as I did last night with feeling. I personally know about
losing your daddy at a tender age and my heart goes out to his daughters.
I don't know what I can do for you, Brent, or your little girls. I'll
just think of you when I sing to my daughter so that you'll be there too.
I'll do everything I can to guide and protect her (and her soon to be born
baby sister, Jasmine) in the loving spirit of I Will Take You Home.
I hope you are some place beautiful.

All the love, sympathy and caring that the group stood for found its

into my heart. I pray earnestly for him and for all of you, knowing
that the sorrow that we feel is only a shadow of your own grief."

My four-year-old daughter Karen, a veteran of more than a few shows both

We frequently discussed the fact that Brent wrote this for his daughter(s),
which helped to give my daughter the feeling that the band members were
real people. When we found out about Brent's death, she took it very hard.
She would like to express her sympathy to his children, and wants them
to know that "Brent lives on, in our memories and the music."

In these days of hate, violence, greed, and national/international strife,
the music and the philosophy of the Grateful Dead provide a ray of hope.
Their concerts are unlike any other events. You go, share the music and the
time with people you don't even know, but who will give you their food,
their love; whatever you need.
For everything that Brent has done for, and given to, us in his life and his
music, we thank you. Our love and hope goes out to you.
The Dead have always said that the music belongs to us fans, and that each
time the music is heard the magic happens all over again. This truly tells me
that Brent and the rest of the band will be with us forever. So will the love.

it made me feel about our children! That he had the power to move people
with his music is a gift, my family will always remember and be grateful!

To the friends and family of Brent Mydland & The Grateful Dead:
It is extremely difficult for me to express my feelings, yet like the
Grateful Dead and Brent Mydland always has, I will do my very best
Brent Mydland was more than a musician in my favorite band. Like the band
members, Deadhead friends, and the Dead organization, Brent was my brother.
I remember the first time I witnessed Brent play "Far From Me", the first
time he bared his heart and soul for me. It propelled the band to play
a stellar rendition, a rendition I will never forget.
There are so many ways that I remember Brent. How he could play "It's All
Over Now" and take complete charge. How he was the glue in the band's
vocal harmonies. How he musically pushed the Grateful Dead to greater
musical heights. I am thankful to have seen Brent for almost 8 years.
The last time I saw Brent perform was July 19, 1990 at the Deer Creek Music
Center in Noblesville, Indiana. It will be a day that is permanently fixed
in my memory. It was my 26th birthday, and alone, I felt honored to share
the same birthdate with the late Keith Godchaeux. Yet, the performances
were so powerful, and Brent was the glue that allowed everybody to shine.
It is a birthday I will always remember.
What I remember most about Brent Mydland was the love he gave us onstage:
the love in his playing. I remember the colors he gave to the band: the
different textures that broke new ground, that blazed new musical frontiers.
I will never forget his heartbreaking rendition of "I Will Take You Home"
at the Philadelphia Spectrum on October 20, 1989: his vocals hit me hard...in
a way I have never been hit before. The last verse stunned me, as Brent held
a high note for an incredible length of time. His heart and his soul were
poured out as I never saw it before, and I thank God I was there to catch
every loving drop.
"Whereever you go, there will be birds to cheer you,
Flowers to collect in the fields around..."
I also remember when Brent performed a very special "Hey Jude" at
the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on March 22, 1990. I was
in ectsasy. Brent took a sad song and he made it better. It wasn't perfect:
yet, that was irrelevant. Like "I Will Take You Home", what counted was his
heart and soul. When Brent sang that last verse, it was an emotional
moment for me.
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better,
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better, better, better..."
Then he unleashed a primal scream that shook me, then the band lashed until
a great Dear Mr. Fantasy. Again, a moment I will never forget.
Brent, I know you're resting comfortably in Heaven. I know that God has built
a beautiful place for you. And now, I know you're watching over us. There
is pain inside me now when I think of you: however, there are too many great
memories you gave me. When I think of you, I think of a man who gave his heart
and soul every time he played.
I now give my heart and soul to you.
"May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others,
As let others do for you,
May you build a ladder to the stars,
And climb on every rock,
And may you stay...forever young."
I love you, Brent. May you always rest in peace. Always....

I'll always remember Brent's rendition of "Blow Away" at the AIDS
Benefit Concert in May of `89. He went into an intense rap about
"real love": he had everybody with their fists up in the air and
then he said open up your hands, and be open to real love. I had
just come out of a suicidal depression, and he brought the concert to
such a peak of energy and inspiration with that rap that I forgot my
sadness and instead felt like I was glad -- ecstatic -- to be alive.
It was healing. He brought that joy to people all over the world -- very
few people can make that claim at the end of their lives. My deepest
sympathy -- his was a life very well-lived.

will never be alone - he will be with you always.

I am trying so hard to find the right words to express my feelings for you
now. I am so sorry for the loss you have suffered but there is nothing in my
experience that can be comparable to the pain you must be feeling. I can only
imagine the hurt my own family might feel if I were to suddenly leave this
place.
Please know that there is a great community ,largely inspired by Brents
music, that is sending love to you these days. I hope that in some way, you
will feel our shared emotion and that that feeling will provide some warmth
on these cold nights. Please, don't abandon love for the sake of his passing.
Take satisfaction in knowing that life is short and not inherently pleasent,
but you were able to make someone one else happy while he was here. What we
give to one another is passed on, taken with us, so you have surely spread
love in this world and the next by loving Brent and caring for him all these
years. I wish you peace now and you will always have my love.

I can't use words to say what was so special about Brent's work -- but
if you listen to a hot, complex space, and then plunge into the
comfort and coolness of "I Will Take You Home", then you KNOW. And if
not, I cannot tell you.

I was always impressed by Brents playing, and, as a keyboard player myself,
know what it's like to try and go out and rip with the band....I thought the
past year was an amazing Brent year, and I remember shouting words of
encourage ment to brent whenever I was close to Brents side.
I think he projected the most soulful energy of all the singers, and was
devastated by the news. The thing that struck me the most powerfully about
Brent was how he was just one of us....Not some superstar rocker, but just
another soul trying to do whats good in the world.
Nothing can replace Brent, but I think what Brent stood for, and what
affected us about Brent, will never leave us.

The music has
stopped with
A silence seeming
Louder for the swell
of the sound before.
What force has stilled
Your voice? -
Rich, gravelly, strident
Then tender.
I remember first the soft notes -
"I will take you home"
Spilling, twinkling over ther crowd
And we remember
the fear
Of children
In the dark
And "Daddy's loving arms"
We'll always remember
The day the music died.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The right words are hard to find at a time like this, but it is good
to know that we have _many_ brothers and sisters in our "family" that
we can express our sorrow and share our fondest memories of Brent
with. I am still truly devasted, but have to believe that for reasons
unknown to us feeble human beans, he was taken from us to a place
where he is needed more.

Even now, I feel numb and washed out. Fragments of memories wash over
like the first show I saw Brent perform in with the Dead in Greensboro NC
not too long after he had joined the band. I got together with both of

rollickin' tunes, but the menlancholy just won't pass that soon.

I was at a local Grateful Dead concert at Buckeye Lake, Ohio in 1988 with
40,000 other fans. Unfortunately, most of them do not have access to the
net so they cannot add their names to this list (this is the same everywhere
around the country/world). In adding my name to this list, please addend
the letter to include "all the Grateful Dead fans who could not add their
names" (as I am sure they would all like to). Based on concert attendance
and record sales, the list would be too long to manage, but we need to
represent this majority segment of their following. Besides, there are lots
of people here in Columbus who have followed the band more closely than I
and who are grieving considerably.

I don't know what to say. The Dead are an integral part of my life, and the
part that Brent played in that, I will sorely miss. So many times, like the
song says, I was a bit confused, and all I had to do was listen to the music
play. Indeed the Dead will continue to inspire us along our journey to spaces
unknown, 'till things we've never seen, seem familiar. The music has brought me
pure experience, experiences beyond the worldly sense, experiences beyond
explaining. All I leave behind me, is only what I found. And oh!, what I've
found. I remember well the times when the boyz would be loosely jamming,
looking further, and then brent would say "Wait a minute baby, 'cause this
place is hot." He set the crowd on fire, yes this place is full of intense
people, intense on one level to have an incredibly fun time, on another level,
intense to bring each other to that spiritual land of the heart of gold band.
Everybody's playin', we're all in this intense scene of beautiful chaos
together. I could always see brent's face, beaming with overflowing energy and
emotion. He played his heart out, he loved every minute of it, he was a
musician. I can only imagine the joy that came from being able to release that
energy into a band like the Grateful Dead. The Dead don't perform, they
celebrate. They celebrate that thing which makes brent's passing so sad. The
Dead celebrate life and all it's diversity and intricasy. Death is the one
part of that diversity which doesn't seem just, especially when it comes so
early and unexpectedly. Alas, in the spirit of the Dead, I feel I must
celebrate that which was the LIFE of Brent. The death of Brent was but the
conclusion of a life that inspired millions of adoring fans to ever-upward
spiraling journeys of ecstasy. His life's mission was to make people happy.
Happy just doesn't do him justice. Enraptured is what we were. To the family
and friends of Brent I want you to know that we all share in the sorrow of
Brent's passing, and wish you peace in this very trying time. I guess I would
like to tell you what helps to lift my spirits. It is of course the music.
The music is beauty, the music is joy, the music is comfort. Please, listen to
those songs of our own. Fare you well, Brent, fare you well, I love you more
than these mere words can tell. Just listen to that river sing sweet songs to
rock your soul. Rest in peace Brent. May Peace, Love, and Heavenly Music be
yours forever,

Bright, cheery and loving. Hugs, kisses and smiles. That's how
I will remember him. The stage and lights but more the off moment.
I remember him best at the Rainforest benefit party, wide grin
stretching ear to ear, just bursting forth from within the
framework of his bearded face. The word, I think, is radient!
May he be remembered by our hearts and souls and left there
to dwell in the house of our loved ones forever....

I have been a fan of Brent's since 4/22/79-Spartan Stadium, his first show.
Although we did not know what to expect, it was a great show. Many more good
times were had with Brent after that. Brent was always consistent. Other band
members might have an off night, but I never noticed that with Brent. He
contributed heavily to the band not only with his own songs but also with his
back up singing (what is Black Muddy River going to be like without him?). He
brought much light to the Dead shows. We are terribly sorry that his own light
did not continue longer and wish the best for his family.

It's strange how the loss of someone i've never met

First, while there have been many people expressing their kindness to me,
we should all thank each other for participating. This was a group

Also, I received the typeset copy of the card yesterday, and first saw it

I want to publically thank Mark Moline for doing a wonderful job!!
Seriously, gang, please drop Mark a "thank you" note. Without him,
this card wouldn't have turned out to be the priceless ruby it is.
Also, a thank you to Ihor Slabicky for gathering up all the net.responses
