gerard was a kind, sweet man.. a musical genius. fellow virgo. a quirky, lovable character who was a permanent fixture in my brooklyn musical world while i was just learning to walk. i was always floored when i saw him onstage with tv on the radio, or off stage watching him play anything he picked up.. i will miss you so much. i know we haven’t spoken in a while, but you’ve always been ‘around’ in my head and in my ears. i had this card sitting here on the table by the door, along with a few books and a mix cd for you that i was going to send tomorrow. just another reminder we never get as much time as we think we will to tell the people we care about what they mean to us. i’m going to send it anyways. i love you. see you on the other side my friend. xx holly
