I cannot believe the comments on this website. Having watched th farewell tour of Glen Campbell I am so impressed with how Kim is so patient, loving and caring. It is a very difficult job to care for someone with Alzheimer's,as I well know, but she does it with grace. God bless you Kim and your family.
Mm
She really seems like she is grieving, sorry for the sarcasm.
Josephine Jones Kim really does have such love, peace and the grace of God within her that radiates out!
True Women are graceful, caring, and empathetic. Without them we would just wreck the whole thing.
Glen Campbell is a better performer with Alzheimer’s than 90% of artist who are healthy
+Trev Mac TRUTH
Well, well be careful what you are saying
LOL kind a stupid compare !
The way you Name me , exact what I thought so stupid you are, no doubt about that !
so true & so sad
RIP , I REMEMBER ALL THE SONG BY GLEN CAMPBELL AND I LOVE THE WAY HE SINGS THE SONGS .🎶🎤🎸
"I'll be Me" was such a great documentary about a legendary guitarist and performer - My wife and I were so moved and I hope everyone will take the time to see this beautiful movie.
Where did u see it?
glen pure talent awesome guitar player one
of the greatest.
We will miss you Glen, i grew up on your music. Grace and peace to you and family.
We lost one of the greats in the music industry yesterday and my heart goes out to his family! Love his song: "Not Gonna Miss You," which says it says it all about Alzheimer's!
Yes, it takes a special spouse to care for an Alzheimer's partner! My grandpa took care of my grandma for many years and hated to put her in a full time facility. He was there morning to night every day! Bless you and your family, you put Alzheimer's in the forefront and showed people how it can be dealt with. Thank you, people need to see your example!
I wish music today was as well sung as by some of these older artists. Cheers, Don
RIP Glen Campbell. You are/were a legend.
Ashley is an amazing songwriter and musician all together
I'll Be Me....so glad I watched it....both my parents went thru a form of this....it's heart breaking
RIP Glen what a great performer,"it's only make believe " my favourite, you'll never be forgotten.

GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY
This was insightful, I'm gonna miss Glen, he seemed like such a nice guy and he was so talented.
such a sweet woman
A very talented musician i enjoy Glenns music, Beach Boys aswell wow.
As a DJ and a Fan, Glen was my MAN! RIP Sir.
My heart goes out to her.You have to have faith to get through this and also family support.
Kim Lewis BULLSHIT!! She is sucking that poor man dry. Did you know that true love bitch has locked out all of Glens other kids from seeing him not to mention his friends. This woman is a real bitch as I know the other kids.....Tamar Mackievicz Telles BULLSHIT!! She is sucking that poor man dry. Did you know that true love bitch has locked out all of Glens other kids from seeing him not to mention his friends. This woman is a real bitch as I know the other kids.....

Love this honest and loving family.
He was a great artist! Tanya Tucker was the love of his life!! So sad Glens wife wouldnt let Tanya see him before he passed away.
Thank you for showing sympathy, @brendafarnham5077. May you kindly remember all the bereaved families in your prayers, asking for God's comfort to be upon them as they go through this season of grief.;
one of the best entertainers ever.
Always remember Glen was one of the most beautiful people to grace us with his life and music.
What a beautiful nice woman to support him like that God bless you ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
its a shame its a bit like dementia dead on the inside and alive on the outside, i just love the last song from him the words are just fabulous it made me cry like mad and i just cant stop listening to it now
She was great and so of course was Glen... She always supported him and I admire her so much.
nice to see mrs campbell doing well,God bless everyone.
God bless you!
RIP Glen sending love to your Family
Kim, alcoholics present and past have massive magnesium deficiencies not detectable thru serum blood levels...symptoms are memory loss, depression, anxiety....not sure if it would help at this point... Also decalcify pineal gland with Vitamin K2, read Rotterdam Study...
Isn't she the one who had an affair with James Keach and broke up his marriage to Jane Seymour?
What a lovely beautiful woman
Sweet lady but so strong, I am so sorry Glen can't do what he would wish to do.
Kim Campbell is a hero in my eyes for sticking by her husband through his illness. She is a strong woman, and God helped her.
She put him in an assisted living home. That's how much she cared.
@@Michael-qb5hg Glen needed special care, there some things regular people can't handle, no matter how much we love someone.
@@petera.michaelsen4657 Then what was her reason for refusing to let Glen see his children alone? She's a money hungry vulture. Ask Glen's older children.
His Documentary "I'll Be Me" will telecast on CNN in June
HOW WONDERFUL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE SINGING AND PLAYING Jesus, said he would never leave or forsake us, I believe no matter what Jesus and the Angel's were with him until the very end,I do think they were very happy together ❤ 💙
Glen Campbell "The country music legend was laid to rest on Wednesday,
but his testimony to the power of God to change a life lives on. Glen
asked God to rescue him from the mess he had made of his life with
alcohol and cocaine. He said he “felt like a drowning man grasping for a
life preserver.” For Glen-and for everyone else-the only life preserver
that works is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. If you put your faith and
trust in Him, He will rescue your soul for eternity. Glen said that he
surrendered everything to Christ-his pain, his drinking, his whole life
and Jesus reached into his life "and took up the burden.” His wife, Kim,
couldn’t have said it any better, “People kept telling me he was never
going to change, but to say that is to deny Jesus’ power to transform
lives.” Don’t give up on those you are praying for. Remember, “with God
all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). Pray for Kim and Glen’s
family, as I know they will miss him greatly." Franklin Graham
Thank you for your message of hope and the truth of our purpose on Earth - to seek the Lord God the Father, to do His will, to receive Jesus as our Saviour, and to embrace the Holy Spirit ... ✝️🙏🏻🇨🇦
I miss hearing him sing live.
Conway twitty
So said that Glen has to suffer from altzheimers. My heart breaks for his family. His last song is so beautiful and so true. His show was wonderful and heart warming.
She and family are great and of course he is
"Lovely "?? Who fights with children. I don't care if they are not your children. All of Glen's children should be included in his will. It is Never a child's fault when 2 Adults divorce. The older children should be allowed to grieve their dad's death and not spend time in court.
Agreed! She is a fake !
You're right, Pat, she IS a tremendous wife (and kids and friends).
Lev Shelo BULLSHIT!! She is sucking that poor man dry. Did you know that true love bitch has locked out all of Glens other kids from seeing him not to mention his friends. This woman is a real bitch as I know the other kids.....Tamar Mackievicz Telles BULLSHIT!! She is sucking that poor man dry. Did you know that true love bitch has locked out all of Glens other kids from seeing him not to mention his friends. This woman is a real bitch as I know the other kids.....

David H You are a negative scumbag! You don't know any of his family. Drama queen!
David H Before spouting off your mouth, do some simple fact-checking. All of his kids are able to visit him, even Debbie. And watch your language. Show some respect for others. Kim is one of my best friends. If you were speaking about his wife this way 6 or 7 years ago, Glen would be really angry with you. But, because he is a gentleman, he would pray for you. Maybe you could take some lessons from him?
+Lev Shelo There seems to be a discrepancy about what has happened to Glen Campbell. He is living in a long-term facility, which seems odd that Kim couldn't arrange for his care at home. Luckily. there is the money for hospice care at home and it sounds rather selfish. Also, the link will explain what is going on with Kim and the rest of the family...she strikes me as phony and selfish.

Thank you for your comment, Kevin. It baffles me that people like Donna Johnson make uninformed comments, acting as though they know it all. Kim has tried home care several times, but Glen is a big man and in good health, other than the Alzheimers. This makes him very dangerous to anyone caring for him. He is unpredictable and quite strong. I had coffee with Kim just two weeks ago and she showed me a picture on her phone of the black eye she received while caring for Glen before she enrolled him, once again, in a beautiful care facility. She was simply helping him get dressed and he hit her without a reason. He didn't need a reason. This is the work of the Alzheimers and the one inflicted doesn't understand what he is doing. Glen is in the beginning of the last stage of Alzheimers. He is neither happy nor sad for he doesn't even understand what those two feelings are! He cannot communicate his thoughts whatsoever. He is "content" where he is now because he is being cared for by professionals. My dad had Alzheimers too. He nearly killed my mom (from the stress of caring for him) until I stepped in and found him a care facility. It was the best and most loving decision I ever made for my parents! My mom's health improved overnight and she had peace in the last 3 years of her life. We visited my dad several times a week. My mom died in September of 2012 and my dad just 10 months later. During that interim, my dad would often forget the love of his life for 58 years was gone! Kim visits Glen every single day and continues to make sacrifices only the loved ones of Alzheimers understand fully! Instead of criticism, people should be singing her praises!
my eyebals are just sweating
Just can’t with this man. I wish Kim all the best. The journey of Alzheimer’s is hard. God bless all Glenn and Kim went through.
Thank you for the kind words. Blessings! }
God has an amazing spiritual plan for them 🙏 and Me 🙏💗 and all of us whom know God in heaven Creator of all things
If anyone can help me find this Documentary I would be grateful. Love his music!
SO Very touching! Thank you.
Ashley Campbell is a phenomenal musician and singer. Truly inherited her Daddy’s talent.....
Tell us why Kim won't allow Tanya Tucker to see Glen, At least let her say goodbye to him. Kim are u thinking she wil take him from you, well think of what the Lord would say. Forgive.
triston marie I agree! Tanya went through a lot because of Glen when he punched her in the mouth. Seems like it is not a very Christian thing for the Campbell family to do, justifying why the victim can't go visit the person she want's to forgive! You would think that would be good for Glen and the family. I guess they are threatened from the union in some way.
im laughing at your response
+triston marie Yes, very selfish of her not to have let Tanya come see him before he got so bad. I mean come' on she was with him for a while, they have history together. Kim is just being terribly selfish. Glen would prob want to see her.
Did it ever occur to any of you that perhaps Glen did not want to see Tanya? It was a drug and alcohol fueled affair that happened years ago. Glen had moved on , recovered, and remarried. Perhaps he preferred to leave that part of his past, in his past. Why blame her for everything? perhaps she was protecting HIS wishes. We won't know and its none of our business.
Maybe he didn't want to see Tanya Tucker.... he had a new life, a new family... Kim was his life for a very long time, she loved him through the good and the bad🦋
I never got to see Glen live, possible for the fact that I live in Australia but Glen was my guitar hero. I learnt music because of Glen, I found myself at a university studying music full-time because of Glen, I choose to call Glen, maestro. These days I am living in retirement, although I do teach music to a handful of students. Now 50 years after the fact, Glen wasn't my only inspiration, Lindsey Buckingham & Mark knopfler played their parts in my musical journey, but Glen was the first. He inspired me to save for my first Ovation guitar, purchased in 1979. That guitar, was the Glen Campbell signature 12 string At 63 years of age, I think I have seen every tribute to Glen on you-tube. One of my favourite interviews with Glen is the one when Glen attempts to explain a capo, to a none guitar playing interviewer. The interview was very funny, given that the interviewer had no idea what Glen was talking about. Thanks for providing me the opportunity reminisce the story of Glen Campbell & me. PS, was that Paul McCartney in the audience at Glen's concert? It sure looked like him.
Although it is very heartbreaking to hear about Glen`s disease. There are issues that may have sped up his condition. Mainly his age. After age 65 the risk of Alzheimer's or dementia doubles every five years. Glen is close to 80. And I know this upsets people to hear this about their hero, but the truth is his substance abuse most likely help contribute to his condition (read the journals on cocaine/alcohol abuse and dementia). He said a few times he thought the cocaine would eventually kill him. In conclusion I hope that his family tends to his needs and let`s him live and eventually die with dignity. He's worth a bundle, so there's no reason he shouldn't have everything and anything he needs.
milestoneman : Where as you are not letting him die with dignity. No need to point things out because it really doesn’t matter the outcome is the same. Just appreciate the talent of this phenomenal man.
@@roseblake5803 truth is truth Rose Blake, even if it's not pretty..... and if the truth that his cocaine and drug abuse contributed to his Elz heimer's, perhaps that fact can help prevent someone else from going down that same road.....
Wonderful , wonderful musician! So sorry to hear that he got this diagnosis however with a loving family, close friends and great Doctors he is going to live his life with dignity until the end! God Bless you Glen and your family,thank you for sharing your music with me all these years!
"What did you love him for?" -- maybe the worst most classless question Ive ever hear anyone ask...
I agree, that was a really awkward way to phrase it. I’d like to think he meant to say, “what did you love about him?” But she gave a great reply.
Will not happen but hope he outlives them all
lsuman38 b
what an awesome family to have around in your final days the love is incredible the angels now have a lead vocalist and incredible guitar player too
Glen Campbell's Testimony is an amazing blessing to so many who are struggling with the spiritual warfare that besets all of God's children.
All praise and honour to the risen Jesus Christ for His loving kindness and patience and for allowing this beautiful man to (finally)OVERCOME!
To all those listening to this, know this that Jesus Christ IS risen and is alive and well and He is still in the business of saving souls! 💖
Trev Mac- soooooo true.
After Glen could no longer perform, due to his progressive demetia, he could still play the guitar as if he was all good....didn't miss a chord!
That's amazing for such a degenerative disease.
He & Roy Clark were two of the my favorite guitar/banjo jammers.
They were talented, high caliber showman who knew how to entertain their audience. I miss them dearly, but they both left a legacy of their work behind for us to enjoy! God blessed them both with talent!
Glenn's Current wife Kim absolutely makes me want to run, scream and yell. She tries to come off with SUCH devotional love for Glenn and "all" his children. When she had Glenn placed in a facility for Alzheimer's patients, she WOULD NOT allow Glenn's children from his previous marriages to "EVEN" be allowed to visit him. She was so afraid that his previous children would get him to change his will and not leave her "EVERYTHING". These children had to go to court to be allowed to visit their biological Father. And they won (with stipulations that Kim was present during these visits and the children were NOT ALLOWED to talk to him privately). Not long after this, she "EVEN DENIED" visits to Glenn from "THEIR OWN" children together. And these children had to go to court to be allowed to visit their biological Father.
Kim is not a Christian or anything close to it. She only wanted all of Glenn's money, possessions, property, stocks, bonds and continued royalties. ALL of the children were cut out of Glenn's will. How sad and pathetic is that. Pat Robertson is also a severe money grubbing piece of garbage. These two make great company. I love you Glenn - always a superstar.
His ex- wife who called him a maniac on Troy Donahue and Tanya Tucker(what a joke of human being)....LOL, I'd keep those fools and money grubbers away my poor sick husband too. And for his children(1st marriage)....my guess is if anything like mom...best to just stay away as well. And Glenn was staying at one of the finest Alzheimer Care Home's in the country....I don't blame her for that...its hard as hell taking of a final stage Alzheimer's patient. So why don't you just stuff it.
@Tim Mencarelli.....You know very little about Glenn Campbell, and that is quite obvious. He has 8 biological children and 10 Grandchildren. Kim made sure none of them were in his will (including their own children together). Glenn dearly loved all of his children and this is not what he would have wanted.
Take your meaningless, idiotic ramblings on down the winding road - doesn't work here.
@@debrascott8492 , well said. Glen loved all his children. Too bad he trusted her to do the right thing.
In my husbands and my will, if one dies, the other gets everything, and THEN when that person dies, the estate is split between all of our kids (his and mine). How do you know that isn’t how Glenn’s will was written? The spouse inherits everything, usually. People always seem to assume the worst, when they don’t really know the whole situation.
@@kanamichelle7404thank u.
Glen was sent to a health care facility in 2014; maybe it was necessary, she was criticized for it nonetheless and noticed it wasn't mentioned here; maybe before he went?
from YT reader Tex Rittenberg ... Yes, I was put on an opiate and Valium by the VA for 7 years and then they told me to stop cold turkey. It was rough but I quit. Then the VA told me that those 2 drugs have been linked to Alzheimer's. Ain't that sweet!!!
You deserve the utmost credit.I took Clonazepam for 20 years and if i ran out i was ready to launch a bullet in my brain.The worst "withdrawl" ever...!!!
Get a holistic Dr to help you. Eat blueberries and antioxidants. May God bless you!
Kim is using this time to promote her 3 kids while pushing out Travis & Debby! Shame on her!
I read that the other kids said Kim pushed for that last tour for the money, and put Glen away, so she could make more money traveling around, giving her speeches about the disease. The kids had to get a lawyer to finally be able to visit him, then she told them they could not bring in a cell phone or any cameras. I don't know why she wouldn't let Tanya say good-bye, she does not sound very Christian to me. Tanya did get to Face Time Glen, thanks to Debbie, she said she wasn't sure if he knew who she was, but he kissed the phone after the conversation. Tanya's newly released song about him (Forever Loving You) brought me to tears. Now everyone is fighting over his estate. Sadly there are no winners here.
RIP Glen Campbell, loved his songs as a child. Got my first 45 record at age 5 (Rhinestone Cowboy).
I am touched like you wouldn't believe !!!

It is always hard to see great people go away. Glen Campbell was one of the best. I assume his name is written in concrete.
They talk as if Glen is no longer with us, how sad. Glen is still the same man even though he has a health problem. Bless him x
+rose ipk they talk like he,s dead coz thats americans for ya they get everything wrong
Listen to his lyrics, "I'm still here, but yet I'm gone"........it's true. Physically? sure. Everything that makes Glen HIMSELF? no. he's gone.
+rose ipk Sadly due to the cruelty of Alzheimer`s when it progresses to the later stages it robs you of everything that makes you who you are including your voice ,your humor and entire ability to communicate.It is called a 7 year funeral for a good reason.In essence as a family member you are mourning someone who is still alive which is the strangest feeling from experience.When I lost a loved one to Alzheimer`s 18 months ago I struggled to feel sad about it because I knew I had already lost them years ago.
Robert Hill Sorry to hear of your loss. Having nursed many Alzheimer's sufferers, I always found that inside each person is still a life that will always be cherished.
+rose ipk Yes, he has been blessed. With Alzheimer's. The Lord blesses us with all those incurable diseases. He doesn't bless me because He doesn't love me.
Ghost on the canvas was out before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's? huh?
In light of the situation she showed a lot of patience and grace
😊yes GOD BLESS HIM he was great and legend performer
Thank you for the kind words }
Kim; You were the best thing that ever happen to Glen next to Jimmy Webb.
We just don't want to let go... we love Glen
The thing is with Alzheimers he wouldn't been able to read and comprehend the teleprompter. But music has away of , just like scents, has a sensory, Diffentant from memory. So perhaps the teleprompter was for her comfort and others around him, a compensation if you will... Yes I know as I cared for my Nana 3years, who had it...
Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease : (
This is before he died yet they talk about him in the past tense and as if he had already died.
You would have to be a musician to know how he did it. It is a part of you that may not be from your brain. Like a 2nd heart. I love he is with The Lord Our God who is Christ Jesus.
Really true love
Tamar Mackievicz Telles BULLSHIT!! She is sucking that poor man dry. Did you know that true love bitch has locked out all of Glens other kids from seeing him not to mention his friends. This woman is a real bitch as I know the other kids.....
Alzheimer's you forget what happened two seconds ago but you can remember so much from your past it's such a Sad sickness
I wrote a song about rhinestone cowboy playing all the time in my childhood,,,
Tanya Tucker’s song is wonderful his wife can not erase the past true love I think she wants the spotlight, is she really a true christian
I think she just wants Money.
Exactly, I really don't get why she's so upset about this song. Jealousy and insecurity is the only logical explanation. I know if my partner of 35 years passed away I wouldn't give a rat's ass about any of his past flames and what they do. Tanya still loves the guy, Kim is the one who got the guy - wtf is she so salty about?
Glen and Tanya were not in love. They had a drug fueled Godless relationship. He probably didn’t want to see her. But it’s their life and their business.
God Bless the Campbells
Kim how could you have gave your life to god when you kept his other children from a another woman away from him and they had to take you to court to get rights. OK Christian lady
Yep...spot on......bless you Glen....Maxxii from Australia.
And his kidsTravis, Kelli and Wesley Campbell were left out of the will, too!
That poor women's face has turned into plastic. She hasn't a nose. Poor girl. RIP Glen
Nice words buddy, very sensitive
My sister we just found out has Alzheimer’s early stages. I was looking through TH-cam and Glen came up I knew who he was just had not heard him in a while so I played witchita lineman and made my day. What a great song and Glen was a legend Thanks Glen Campbell for all the performances and all you contributed to the the world through your Guitar and singing voice.
You could really play that Guitar, Rest In Peace You Are Missed
Good old God gave him Alzheimer's, helped ruin his life with alcohol, put him through several failed marriages, lucky god was looking out for him.
The problem was that he altogether gave up alcohol. Moderate use would have helped him to remain healthier. Serves to activate more brain cells through improving blood circulation. Total abstinence is not good. Learn moderate use and teach children the same. Will help us remain healthier. Jesus drank wine for very good reasons.
Kim.the reason you would did not want Tanya tucker to see Glenn I'd because you were always jealous of her after all they were in love and lived together for over ten years all America knows that.wounder what a real Christin Landy would have done.glenn is in heaven he got to kiss her by over the phone.i hope his kids all get there part of what's coming to him. On
Yt
I meant to say they lived together for over two years.
In the 60's and into 70, the Glen Campbell look was about as long as the south would tolerate, in Knoxville.The first time my mom did not get my hair cut once a month was when his show aired.
How this guy always this old? Can he get anymore older?
She made him - forced him - to do 152 dates so she could make a fortune. It was very sad to see him lost and frustrated when the teleprompter went out and he was up there n0to knwoing what the hell was going on. "I'll be me" documents it all. IT WASN'T FOR HIM!
and probably cut those 3 children from Billie out of the will as well!!
O Glen Campbell,Definitely one of God's gifts to the World,Thank you So Much! "By the time I left for..." Tears! x M
Did Kim just fart???? @ 3 mins 43 seconds!!
i guess it was not,it's an"ah-huh"from the interviewer
+brittany leeson LLLLLOOOOOLLLLLL
Yes, Kim farted.
Pat needs to do his homework on his guests.. Why not read up on the guest, learn there is a movie out and help the guest promote it..
+melrose795 AMEN!!! Disappointing to see them sit there, go thru the motions and put all the pressure on the guest. Maybe the host has a disease that effects HIS memory? Hmmmm
I don't know about a disease, but this is not the first time I have seen Pat unprepared and seen others comment on it.. I respect Pat and I bless him, no one is perfect, but he needs to step it up..
+melrose795 agree. He is on up in the years so that may be a potential reason for this. Timing is everything. Not knowing specifics when interviewing can make or break a cause. TRUST ME...I've fallen victim to this in Mississippi after I was target by Feds and Falsely arrested by Feds in Presidential assassination Plot 2 years ago. :(
Melrose, no one is perfect? But very few are wolves in sheeps clothing.
RIP Glen
Is Robertson still breathing? What a waste of space.
Bless his heart.
How can you see the film when it's not available! I can't find it! Help if u know how to get it.
It will be telecast on CNN in June
Kathy Sundher Available on iTunes.
It's on NetFlix now (December, 2016).
Alzheimers doesnt seem to effect the portion of the brain effected by Alzheimers. Nice clip.
What a wonderful example of the truth of what Jesus can do, he is truly the way, truth and life!
