Marge Brownstein read this letter from Jamie and David Wainland to the Disco Biscuits band and crew and extended family on the day of the second Florida benefit show on January 17, 2004.
This heartfelt and touching letter did not yield a dry eye in the room.
I love you, Jamie and David.. thank you again for everything you've done.

Dear Marc, Jon, Aaron, Sam, Jon L, the tech crew and everyone involved with this group including Ethan Schwartz, and Ericalynn
What can we say,
Is thank you enough, is because of you, you help me keep the memory of Jeremy alive enough, is I now know why JEREMY loved all you people so enough, WHAT IS ENOUGH???????????
I use to think JEREMY was crazy every time he told me he was going to another state to hear some group called the DISCO BISCUITS play. I would say, JEREMY, isn’t enough, enough. How many times can you see the same people, how many times can you hear the same music. His answer was you just don’t understand. I guess I really didn’t until last night.
I stood in a crowd of people with their hands flying in the air, with their bodies moving and grooving to the sounds, with a lost look in their eyes as they just heard the sounds coming from within all of you. So I decided to move and grove a little as well. I must admit this is the first time I have ever heard the bands music. I didn’t know quite what to expect, however, even though I hate to give into JEREMY, I NOW understand all those times he left for the airport, got on the plane, came back 3 days later either saying---------they were good, they were great, this was the best show they ever played.
So my dear friends, In Jeremy’s eyes you were always a winner, always a friend, always someone he loved. Both David and I and his sister and Kira are honored that you cared enough about him to have this intimate gathering of hundreds of people to celebrate JEREMY’S life. I promised everyone if the band ever played in FLORIDA even though it wasn’t your strongest following I would do everything in my power to get press release and people. Try me again, I won’t let you down, wait until tonight.
HOT AIR BALLOON...JEREMY has asked you to play for him tonight, He will be sitting to the right of you Marc watching every move all of you make and critiquing every song. The smile will be on his face as always as you play the night away.
With much feelings and caring from JEREMY’S mom, dad and family. If he had one wish it would be to see you again and tonight he will,
Jamie Wainland
