puck57 ::: Favorites I would imagine AD got lots of letters and cards- and probably still corresponds with some- in a way it is probably a sort of therapy for her to share with some of these people like the parents from this letter. 07-09-27 23:09:41 __________________________________________________
cvps ::: Favorites Imagine how it struck her emotionally!! I am SO glad it got through to her, that she actually GOT the letter!!! 07-09-27 11:23:48 __________________________________________________
babushka6225 ::: Favorites I had the pleasure of being in Pacific Grove last Sunday when the memorial plaque for John was dedicated at this location. Weather was beautiful. His brother, Ron and sister-in-law Terry (sp?) were there representing the Deutschendorf-Denver families. If you ever get the chance to visit...it is such a spiritual place. And Ronald....I got your stones and sand. Will be sending it this weekend. 07-09-26 13:27:05 __________________________________________________
puck57 ::: Favorites Cont.- "Life means all that it ever means.. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I'm waiting for you. Everywhere very near- just around the corner. All is well." Is this not a BEAUTIFUL letter that was written to Annie or what. 07-09-01 16:38:48 __________________________________________________
puck57 ::: Favorites "Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other- that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name in your home. Wear no forced air of solmenity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was..." 07-09-01 16:36:02 __________________________________________________
puck57 ::: Favorites Here is part of a speech Annie gave in August '98 for the JD Sanctuary in Aspen. This part was from a letter sent to her by a mother of a girl who had been killed in a car accident. The parents had gone to one of JD's last concerts in Texas before he died. I will let the words speak for themselves. Forgive me if they are not exact but I tried to write it as I saw it. I will have to break up the speech because of space limitations. 07-09-01 16:32:38 __________________________________________________
Earthlinked ::: Favorites I think it is appropriate that my JD memory rocks should be between these 2 rocks -- between peace and flying -- the things he love most. Every concert ended with JD saying "Pray for Peace". And YES -- I hope to go to the moon one day and put one back and "to dance across the mountains on the moon". Sandi, I cannot thank you enough! Last Saturday, with the Georgia Forestry Commission, I planted 10 Cypress seedlings in the Chattahoochee National Forrest, near Atlanta -- in your honor!! 07-08-24 15:52:44 __________________________________________________
Earthlinked ::: Favorites There are only 2 rules for collecting memory rocks: 1) You must pick the rock up yourself. It must be no larger than your fingernail. 2) If you do not pick it up -- if someone gives you a memory rock - you have 5 years to go there and put one back. I live in Atlanta -- but I will go to John Denver Beach and put one back. My John Denver memory rock sits between a rock that was a piece of the iron curtain in Berlin and a rock from the moon that a friend from Houston gave me many years ago. 07-08-24 15:37:12 __________________________________________________
Earthlinked ::: Favorites I have found a dear friend. I collect "memory rocks". I have small rocks from around the world: Moscow, Siberia, Paris, Rome, Egypt and many from America -- each rock with its own memory. As a devoted John Denver follower since 1972, I now have a rock from John Denver Beach. It is my centerpiece - on my shelves of my memory rocks - and in my heart. I will always miss him. Sandi, you are my new hero -- I have found a dear friend. Thank you - and may God bless you and keep you safe and warm. 07-08-24 14:58:57 __________________________________________________
