Amy Helm thanks everyone for the love & support during Levon Helm's passing.

"Dear friends,


I lost my father today....he passed peacefully, surrounded by friends and family. The outpour of love and support I have received in the last 2 weeks has been overwhelming to me. I cannot begin to express how deeply moved I ...am by the people who have reached out....poems, prayers, beautiful words of comfort, offers to bring food, help with babysitting, and on and on and on...

As I've been walking through this incredible heartbreak, the letters, e-mails, text messages, and phone calls have lifted up my spirit and helped me stay strong and present for him throughout.

It's hard to really convey how much it means....I'm sure many of you understand and have gone through similar losses.

With Love

Amy"

Wishing Levon Helm the best.

Dear Friends,
Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey.
Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration... he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage...
We appreciate all the love and support and concern.


From his daughter Amy, and wife Sandy
