You likely don't know this story - but nearly 25 years ago - my son was very sick. I was on my own with a sick child, and baby girl, and my husband of the time had left us. I leaned on the many songs from the many Gaither Homecoming videos - and I discovered the Nelons there. The music gave me strength in the long nights alone with this sick child. God was incredibly good and kept promising He had a plan. Yet, I took a little time and wrote some letters to some singers that my son enjoyed listening to too. When he was sick and had a hard time sleeping, we'd listen to these songs together. One of the letters I wrote was to the Nelons. Kelly wrote me back saying she was praying for my son and sent a cassette recording of Amber singing. Kenny, my son listened to that many times. My son survived - and is turning 27 this year - but that letter meant a lot to me. I just wanted to say how sorry I was for this loss, but I know with you all where they are at today and look forward to one day thanking them in that City of God! Thank you for your years Karen - I trust what God has for Autumn and all who remain here - something great. My long journey with my son - took a long time to see the purpose - but I'm seeing it now. God's in this - and I pray for you all! With much love - Kim.
This news hit me like a ton of bricks. I just could not believe it. For me it is a tragedy that defies adequate description. Life is just so unpredictable and tenuous. They were such talented musicians and great people.
Ms. Peck, I spent a lot of time traveling with a SG group as a pianist in my early days, and I’ve had the honor of seeing you perform and worship various times throughout the years, beginning in 1982 with the Rex Nelon Singers. You are truly a blessing to meet, and yours was probably the greatest eulogy I’ve ever heard. God bless you.
This Is The Most Beautiful Tribute To Her Precious Best Friend Kelly!! GOD BLESS YOU Karen, I'm Lifting You Up In Special Prayer During This Most Difficult Time Sweetie! I Love Karen Peck and New River and THE NELONS!! They Will TRULY Be Missed! I Can Only Imagine The JOY They Felt When They Saw Their Precious SAVIOR JESUS And Heard Those Beautiful Words WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS WELCOME HOME!! Lifting Precious Autumn Up In Special Prayer and Asking The LORD To Let Her And Her Family Feel His Loving Arms Around Them!! PSALM 91
What a beautiful eulogy from a beautiful person, singer, songwriter, and dear friend! ❤️🙏🙌🙌 God be with all of those who are hurting from the loss of those in this tragic accident. Bring them peace, Your Peace, that is beyond all understanding and comprehension. Amen!
Karen, this was a great eulogy. I can't imagine you two in a ballet class.🤣 I can just hear Kelly laughing at this. The Cinderella sisters. Best eulogy ever. 🩷🦋🙏 I can just picture Kelly blushing while you are telling all of this, but she would also be cracking up. You have the best memories. Go have a pizza in her honor. My heart goes out to you & all of the family & friends all over the world that are still trying to process this great loss. Hang on Autumn. God's got you, sweetheart.❤️
That was so beautiful Karen. What a wonderful tribute to your friend. Kelly is smiling down from Heaven. I grew up with The Gaithers music and this tragedy has really affected me. I will continue to lift up Autumn and the rest of the family. So sad...
🟩THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name" (If I lay wealth in front of you and you can choose freely knowing that I will not judge you, the majority will choose wealth and abandon the truth.

I am truly amazed at the resistance of your hearts that it will be softened. However, you continue to seek the things that belong to darkness and evil, and refuse to loosen your grip. If you were elected again, what would be your position? Is it still the same? What you will still give Me is failure and great sadness? Do you still not realize how to console My heart? Will you submit to My words or labor over them? My day has been laid out before your eyes and what you face is a new life and a new beginning. That is, this is the last stage. When the day comes, you will understand the true meaning of this beginning, so together we will walk beyond it and begin the next end.

We have a hope that will endure the passing of time. One day we will all be reunited with friends and loved ones. Because of Jesus. Praying for her and her family. Hang in there. My son passed away a little over a year ago, and one day I’ll see him again. I’m so glad that we have a hope that will endure the passing of time. Without that I don’t think we could really make through each day. I’ll be praying for you. Hang in there.
Ha ha we had pizza delivered to the exit of a drive in theater, then bunches of other ppl did it. The next week they had pizza at the drive in! Sleep Sweet Kelly.

Welcome
Ha ha we had pizza delivered to the exit of a drive in theater, then bunches of other ppl did it. The next week they had pizza at the drive in! Sleep Sweet Kelly.
I love to hear the Nelsons singing. As spiritual bible leader: which day is the Lord's Sabbath day that we should keep according to the bible?
Amen
Amen 🙏
The Bible is talking about temptation in that reference. The bible NEVER says that Jesus will not give us more than we can bear. That's a lie.
