OH my, what a beautiful tribute to those who lost their lives. Gloria has been given a special gift!
I’m so glad Bill and Gloria did this for The Nelons . I still can’t believe it . Prayers for Autumn her husband and unborn baby . I will be watching their going home service on Tuesday . 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I believe The Lord has wonderful
Plans for Autumn and that precious Baby .
My heart is so broken that I can't even speak a word about the Nelons 😢😢😢😢😢. Let God hold your hand Autumn because this is how you and your husband is going to get thru this heartache. I love you Autumn.
Bill.. your Homecoming Series is a blessing to the whole Body Of Christ around the world where we came to know The Nelons. We mourn with you from here.. FIJI
Dear Gloria....you said your guys are not special. I wish out of the bottom of my heart i can tell you all what you mean to a lot of people all over the world. My heart ache for all of you. Be bless Stay bless. Go well
I love the Gaither’s. Praying for precious Autumn. I know God has allowed her heart to be broken because He can trust her with this.🙏❤️
Two of my sisters and I attended the Gaithers Homecoming Concert in Hershey PA last October. We were blessed beyond our expectations as the various artists including The Nelons ministered to a ‘packed sports center’!❤
My mind goes back to the many concerts (sponsored by The Couriers) we attended at the Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg PA. After moving to Southern California in 1979 I heard on the radio about a scheduled Bill Gaither Trio concert featuring Sandy Patty and Danny in Anaheim.
I was born and raised in Southwestern Virginia and grew up on ‘good old’ Southern Gospel music and still can’t get enough of it!
I have also been blessed by having the opportunity to go with The Gaithers Homecoming Caribbean cruise in 2015.
The tragic death of the beloved Nelons, Joe Bonsal and others make me more homesick for our GREAT HOMECOMING with our loved ones. …Even so come Lord Jesus! Shalom‘Until We Meet Again’.
One day God willing I will attend one of their homecoming. These mem and women of God have blessed my heart immensely. I mourn with them at this trying time.
Thank you Gloria Gaither for your wise words. They even speak to my heart at this moment in my own life.
When push comes to shove...we all show what is REAL in our hearts. The testimony to everyone else on that cruise was far louder than any words that might have been spoken! Kelly was so much like my beautiful wife of 46 years I lost in '19 - both physically, musically, and in every other way. Three times this has happened on a Gaither outing...losing Rex in London 24 years ago, Anthony as discussed by Gloria, and now this with most of the Nelons now gone. We weep not for them, but for ourselves. The Word of God never disappoints.
Gloria always has the words we need to hear.
Gloria Gaither words of wisdom🙏💜
Praying for Autumn and Jamie and their family, the Clark family, the Kistler family, the Hodges family, the Haynie family, and the whole Gaither Homecoming family during this season 🙏
and the Clark family, too.
@@janemartin229 Yes
@@janemartin229she said the Clark family but people keep forgetting to mention the Thompson family which is Autumn and Amber’s father’s family
Beautiful tribute from Gloria and the others during this horrible tragedy. Prayers for Autumn, her husband and that precious baby. You will never walk alone with the love you have from so many special people
I’m so glad to hear this video/audio. I’ve been so concerned for everyone in the Gaither Family and have been praying fervently for them. My family experienced a tragedy in July also, and I know there is nothing like family when tragedy strikes. While listening to this I stand amazed at the timing of the Nelon’s homegoing, while many of you were all together and had each other to share God’s Sufficient Grace.
🙏🙏
Yes I now the loss of a family member. NY big sister Susan passed away June 19, 2024. She was taken away to soon but only God knows best.😢 He nows it was time for her to come home. She is with our parents and grandparents up their .
Gloria preached hope and she preached sense❤
Thank you for sharing this. Gloria's words ministered strongly to my hurting heart. So, so many going home to Glory. Heaven grows sweeter everyday. I grew up on Southern Gospel Music and have attended many Homecoming concerts thru the years. Met Kelly and so impressed with such a sweet soul. This tragedy has impacted so many on this earth, but Heavens choir gained more beautiful voices on that fateful day. Prayers continue not just for all the families impacted by this, but for the Southern Gospel Community as a whole.
Thanks to each of you for being there for Autumn. Pray GOD’S strength, love,peace and understanding bestows upon Autumn. I pray GOD keeps his mighty hands upon her and all of you. GOD’S SPEED
This tragedy happened right here in my county ,I was heartbroken when I heard the news of the plane crash that killed the 3 nelon family members ,I want to send my condolences to Autumn & the Gaither family ,may they all R.I.P !!! 😢🥀🥀🥀🙏🕊
I'm so glad you spoke, Gloria,you always know how to say just the right thing.So glad you and Bill were there for Autumn,my condolences to everyone,May God Bless
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you(the Gaither family) and friends . I know you are trying to navigate and process this difficult situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. The NELONS are singing in GODS HEAVENLY CHOIR. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH. THE NELONS WILL BE MISSED SO MUCH by all of us. You are a special part of our lives and have been for years. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Comforting words from Gloria 🙏🙏
We don’t know what God has in store for Amber and her little family, but I’m sure that God will use her mightily. He doesn’t waste opportunities. Praying for Amber and all her support system
Autumn you mean.
Absolutely we don't understand things that happen,even in the tragic things that happens in our lives GOD is always good.
I know that God does not waste opportunities, in fact he makes opportunities. When something like this happens, that has great gravity on our hearts, God has an undeniable plan. This song There's a Hole In The Heart(of America) was the last recording made by the Nelons before the plane crash. I believe God is going to use this song and the sercumstances surrounding it, to touch Americas heart. PRAISE BE TO THE, ALL KNOWING, ALL SEEING, ALL POWERFUL, ALL PRESENT GOD!!!
Absolutely love the Gaithers, they make everybody family. They've been strength for many of us over the years, such a blessing, thank you lord for giving us this amazing family.
Beautiful tribute to the wonderful family ❤. I can’t imagine what that Amber is going through. God bless 🙏🙏
Approx. 10 yrs ago Jason and the Nelons put on a Gaither type concert in Marietta, Ga showcasing local groups. The group I was in at the time (The Davis Trio) was invited. I will never forget how Jason treated us. We were just a local part time group and he treated us like we were equals to him. I will never forget this and hope to tell him about it one day in Heaven.
Grieving with you guys…praying for everyone. 💗🥺😢
Thank you so much for posting this on You Tube!
I am heartbroken after hearing this news as I know all of you are too. I have been praying and donating to Autumn and I haven't teared up till this video. God does have a plan and It is going to take some for us to see it. We don't understand it now but we keep praying for God's outcome. I knew when this happened that the gospel music family would come around Autumn and the family. As I write this I know many of you are praying and if you feel like God is telling you to donate and help Autumn through this rough time, Please give from your heart but most importantly keep pray.
Love and prayers are with all that were affected.
Praying!
I am praying for Autumn her husband and her baby to come. I love your whole family , when I would watch and listen to the Nelson's with the Gaiters Homecoming and my heart would be so Bless. My husband and I will continue to pray for Autumn and her family and the Gaiters and friends. It is a hurt that you cannot get through without our Heavenly Father , Jason clark, Kelly Nelson clark and Amber will be so miss 😢😢😢
I love the Nelons.
Very nice tribute, wise carrying words from Gloria, thank you for all you do Bill and Gloria Gaither.
I'm so sorry for your loss Praying for your family and friends. They are in Heaven singing and walking those streets of Gold.
God Is in Charge!!
Let me tell you about my experience with the Nelons they we were a crowd favorite at the homecoming concerts even at the Family Fest in Gatlinburg one of the things I got was a solid gold coin from them and on the front was a picture of Rex Nelon let me end by saying this thoughts and prayers for the homecoming family even to Bill and Gloria Gaither
Praise God for His love!
This is AMAZING Mr Daniel!!! Thank you so much!!!!
God is amazing he knows what hes doing its absolutely a blessing that you were all together as a family to endure this tragic loss and comfort each other and praise together 😢 I loved them too. A thought came to mind about the ranch and the horses any pets they had to keep them in prayer too 🙏
To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD❤❤❤
❤ yes i am praying 🙏 😢😢❤
I wish that we could have seen people's faces while they spoke. Anyway, this is so sad. Personally, there have been quite a few deaths in my life at this same time. These are things that I won't understand until I get to Heaven.
I choose to believe that Bill & Gloria will be putting out a tribute video to them in time.
I am soso sad
Amen
❤❤❤❤
Oh the home going they had….greeted by Jesus and all the Saints that welcomed them!

Too much background noise to hear what’s being said.
@@sherrymeadows8758 the first few seconds are difficult to hear, but the audio improves rather quickly once the tech issue resolves.
Who long black haired tenor singing at Nelons Funeral?
Levi Mills of the group The Sound. He was close friends with Amber and Nathan Kistler.
@@betty4085 is his dad and mom Rob and Angie Mills?
Thanks after some research I found out. He has an Awesome voice!
@@KimSheffield-zb5sl His Dad is named Rob. He is part of The Sound too. I don't know about his mother.
@@betty4085 okay. I know exactly who he is now. And who the family is. I hadn't seen them in about 4-5 years I guess. Levi has really grown up. And I'm sure that Jake has too. Wow just can't believe that's "little Levi". The grandmother lives in my town here so it's just shocking seeing the kiddo all grown up now. Thank you for answering my question
I don't understand it ever 😢😢😢😢
Isaiah 57.
Psalm 116:15❤
Did they amber and her husband leave young children behind 🥹
No. They had talked about doing IVF but never got the chance..
I thought it showed two children
@@ruthiescott1234 No. Amber and Nathan didn't have any children.
@@ruthiescott1234 Amber had three miscarriages as a part of their journey to try and have children. She was never able to carry a child to full term.

Trump Pence 2024
Why my friend? Why would you post this here? Also Pence isn’t running this time.
Peace be with you and the loved ones of the 7 🙏
@@MichaelFW89 It was planeload of MAGAA.
Trump told us that Pence was great Vice President.
What happened?
Did Pence turn Commie?
Is Trump a sore loser?
God bless.
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky We do not know the political affiliation of any of these except the pilot who was wearing a Trump t-shirt. To go beyond that is just pure conjecture, and in this instance, it is inappropriate and unkind. How are you loving your neighbor as yourself in this instance?
@@MichaelFW89
Why is Pence not running this time. Trump picked him twice. Did Pence turn Commie, a noose cannon?
@@bowed305 Birds of feather fly together. Strong indicators. I love Mike pence. Do you?
