    I was so happy when I heard this being played in memory of your dad. This band is love.
    I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream...
    If I knew where it was I would take you there.

    Thanks so much everyone for your support, this community is so strong. Thanks so much to the band and for anyone who had a hand in making this happen!! I can't express enough how much this meant to both me and my wife tonight. This has been the most difficult and humbling thing my family has had to face, but your support has meant so much. I was in tears at Pemberton, in our (closest to) hometown show 2 weeks ago when they played Release. While I felt it was a force of a song before, it took on even greater significance that night. That feeling was felt many times over tonight. I can't believe how much everyone in this community cares about each other, and how the band's actions are reciprocal, not only to it's fans but in their own local communities as well and to the many causes they support. My wife and I are big baseball fans, and to be in one of the most storied buildings in all of baseball, with so much history, with the lights on, it completely shook us to our cores to have this dedication tonight. To everyone that has suffered loss, we send our empathy, love and support.

    With great thanks and love,
    Matthew and Natasha Plummer

    Once again I am floored by the reach of this band. I know I shouldnt be by now, but you get so numb by the deafness of everyone else in life that when someone acknowledges your pain, or other emotions, it is special. The fact that this band finds the time to touch some of their fans so personally leaves me speechless. I am so happy for you, that you received your request. I am also thankful that so many people who don't even know you, and their only connection to you is this forum, voiced their support for your request, and sorrow for your pain. It makes me feel special that I am a part of this group.

    I watched your story unfold, very incredible and we (fiancé and I) are happy for you. I've been humbled by this band as well while dealing with health issues. They are incredible and I thrive off of the support and friends I make in here. Stay close and enjoy the ride while you can.
