Mark Lowry & Vestal Goodman - On A Jet!

[@vicentitobonito]

it is good to see and remember Vestal having a good time... miss that woman...

[@smithiesosccer48]

Hey Mark, hope you'll see this comment! My Uncle Dick is the pilot in this video and I think it's the coolest thing in the world that he got to be your pilot! Wish I could've met you guys!

[@kellyusher1]

I miss her so much. she always made you feel loved even tho you know she didn't know you. but she seemed to. she could make you feel so good. she saved so many people in many ways. R.I.P. lovely lady

[@loririnaldi4933]

oh Heaven is so sure for this woman

[@kentregear220]

There is a natural chemistry with all of the members of the Gaither homecoming members a joy to watch

[@colleenbellows1]

Jesus has a way of doing that.

[@mertr8509]

I remember as a child my granny loved her. That was 50 plus years ago. Now I know granny. I love her too

[@swamijoy738]

This is such a cute video of Mark and Vestal--it's so good to see Vestal again! Thanks Mark for filming this and posting it. I cannot imagine how much you must miss Vestal.

[@KateHolloman]

She is like the big lovely grandma!:)

[@maryaliceeady716]

My husband and I went to SGM concerts since way before Vestel ever wore a dab of make up. ,,,we saw them back stage several time from Ala. to New Orleans,,,so much fun..I cherish the memories. God Bless all the ones left....

[@LydiaRussellhyperfingers]

Don't you just wish you could reach through the screen and give her a big ol hug?

[@missywiley3140]

When I saw her being sad, yes.

[@barbaracox8613]

Yes, I do, too.

[@marlandamighty8789]

You read my mind 😊

[@ck44052]

I loved seeing her again. This almost made me cry. I was lucky enough to see her several times before her and her husband passed. what is amazing couple and what an amazing voice.

[@peterteinor2126]

Hmm...isn't it beautiful when brothers "and sisters" live in unity? It is 2022 and I have just revisited this awesome memoir. Thank you Mark. I aspire to "kick up gold dust" some day.

[@fairygrammy]

I surely miss this lovely lady. Her and the rest of the Goodman's have been a blessing to me most all my life. There will never be another family like the Happy Goodman's...😄😄🎵🎵

[@tejasnite]

The agape love that no one knows but true Christian friends , a love and friendship that never ends.

[@dianaranadana5300]

Oh how I LOVE HER, and how I MISS HER, and how SHE BLESSED me! Thank you for sharing this dear Mark.

[@Littlelewie151]

Who else would love to have sat and rocked with the Goodmans? Such sweet people!

[@ginadrew153]

Me !

[@marvaeblanscett9492]

I love all the times I was able to see you guys in concert! Meeting and talking to Vestal a couple of times were one of the highlights of my life. One of the most memorable was in Midland in 1978. We stood there, compared each other's diamonds, and talked about the piano (since that was her necklace)! I dearly loved them, and we are supposed to be related to them, with our family from Kentucky. You, Mark are the best, and I appreciate you showing the world that Christians can/do have fun!

[@95KIPPIE]

They were very close, she was like a second mother to Mark. He loved the Goodman’s and Rambos since early age. Vestal is one of the few that knew him so well

[@TheMistysFavs]

+Mark Lowry - You have some of the BEST old videos! How I miss Vestal! God bless you, brother, and thanks for sharing SO very much of both the legends and of you too! Hmm...I guess you are a legend now too huh? Yep, I'd say so! Psst...don't tell anyone but my favorite Gaither Vocal Band was Michael, David, Wes, Bill, and you! Love the ones with you and Ernie Haas too! Ohhh...Cool Water! That one rocks!! Ugh SO many are GREAT!! God bless God bless!!

[@beverlystufflebeam5731]

Vestal and that beautiful smile. Sad she’s gone now. But thankful for videos to watch her. I don’t know a lot about her except that beautiful voice but you just can’t fake the enter peace she has shining through. Being a member of the LDS church I missed so much in Christian music. Not that I hadn’t been around a Godly grandmother that taught me so many gospel songs. She swore she couldn’t sing… but when working in the kitchen or garden she was always softly singing. And when I was with her I would attend the church she attended. My love of all gospel music far out reaches anything in my life! While I have tons of favorites … the one I love the most…probably because she sang it a lot. “In the garden”! She alway told me I got my voice from her daddy! Since he passed right before I was born I never met him here on earth. And yes, I was blessed and love to sing most anything, but always come back to the spiritual music. It feels my heart. I directed church music as well as the congregation choir for about 30 years. I worked with several pianist but one stands out… Marilyn Johnson. Her talent made me look good. And I miss her. But after her husband died she moved to Utah to be with part of her kids and grandchildren. At my older age I no longer desire to perform in public. But once upon a time I did professionally. Now I only sing at weddings and funerals. And at church of course. I’m a 24/7 caregiver so time is limited. But my 14 year old granddaughter with processing disorder says she loves to here me sing. She says that means I’m happy. And with loosing my husband in 2021, my father Dec 2022 and my youngest brother, James only 47 years old who passed leaving 2 minor children. He was a half brother and carried the gene from his of father the deadly Huntington’s Disease. But he passed much younger that the others. With him and my 3 step children all having Hunningtons it sad to see them wilt away from the amazing people they where before the disease. I only use the phrases half brother and step siblings for better understanding. We never used those words my amazing step dad passed almost 20 years ago. But to this day as he put it when he and mom married we are one family with no division. My step sister at 56 has been in a nursing home for about 3 years. And my step sister 6 yrs younger has been in hospice for 9 months. The step brother only 4 years younger than me swears he does not have it but we’ve been down this path before and it’s obvious he too has it. Just at a latter time in love. He, John sang and performed all over the world with the Vocal Majority for about 10 years. I’m sorry my message is so long. But as I’ve watched more and more of your videos the more I feel like I know you. And as a Godly man you stand out. I always love the beautiful songs you sing with some basic Scriptures always brings a smile to my old face. And as I started out I loved Vestal so much. Despite her age and I’m guessing health issues where there as well. She performed 100%. As do you. I think you probably enjoy the time singing with friends best. But your joking around etc., will most likely bring many to God. Again sorry this was so long. I do hope you get to see this message as I’m sure you get them by the dozens. Your friend in God, Beverly Stufflebeam. Oh and I’m a Texan too. Born in a doctors office 2 months early in Grapevine Texas and raised in Euless. But for my husbands job we moved to the waco area 33 years ago. I’m a Texas girl ( old lady) until I’m called home. Life has been a real struggle the last 7 yrs. But I have faith that surely there is another chapter in my book of life. God bless you, and stay off motor bikes. That poor right leg is tired of being a victim! Lol I so love your antics. My only thought is you’ve never married or had children. But that’s your business. But what an awesome father you would have been. My mother and grandmother didn’t like the “shut up” phrase.

[@janiceharris9919]

I love Vestal ❤ She's so beautiful inside, out and her anointed voice. When I see her in heaven I'll give her a big hug.

[@shutch3367]

Oh Vestal God rest your sweet sweet soul. One of the first folks I want to visit besides my sister, my dad, and my uncle Jim is this beautiful woman with a golden voice. I’ve never seen a more humble woman in my life. One heck of a lady. Much love to all and God bless us all Amen

[@CHahn-nb3fe]

I do miss Vestal and Howard. They were the real deal.

[@LenHummelChannel]

Thanks Mark. Hope to see ya ALL in Heaven soon. GOD is good and gracious. Always honor Him with your heart and life. He will take care of the rest.

[@joyr36]

I miss seeing her in concert so much! She was such a blessing.

[@19brandon66]

[@israelh2638]

I was a kid going to homecoming at Life Temple Church in Madusonville Ky home of the Happy Goodman’s At the outside meal Sister Vestal was serving people potato salad. Nancy Harmon and Victory Voices choir was there on the Hammond organ and sister Vestal started shouting with that two foot high Pentecostal hairdo . I will never forget this memory

[@allison9615]

Vestal Goodman was a big part of my early childhood. I'm so jealous that both of my grandmas got to meet her before me in heaven. Thankfully I got to see you twice so far.

[@Allysgirl41]

Loved it... I miss her!!!

[@MissValdostaFeedAndGrain]

Perfection🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕💕

I miss Vestal so much! So glad I'll get to see her in Heaven.

[@gilzaragoza9727]

This was great!!!!!!

[@alexs1088]

When I was a teenager my mom took me to two gaither concerts where the Happy Goodman's sang, and when Vestal sang, I kid you not people got out of their seat, it was like a ringing verbratto so strong when she held those notes and waved her hankie. My mom actually has one of her Autographed Hankies.

[@TheLizardKing1967]

Yes Darlin'

[@johnhicks6081]

Watching this makes me wish i was on that plane with y'all. Good stuff!

[@chadnichols7069]

I watched a Billy Graham revival in Jonesboro, AR on the big screen via satellite from Little Rock. I think Mark was the comedian. Whoever it was did a bit on a screaming mama that answered a ringing phone in a sweet voice. Very funny!

[@Barbara-zo6pq]

❤Thank God for Friends!❤

[@pansyks]

I love this. PKS

[@FaithRichFidler]

Back in about 1979 or 1980, I stayed at Vestal and Howard's home. I was going to go to church camp with them and some nieces and nephews and such. I'd get up in the morning, all sleepy-eyed, and sit on a bar stool in the kitchen, at the island, and Vestal would come out hummin' and cookin', asking me what I was looking forward to about the day at church camp. Frankly, I think she was telling daddy I was interested in "boys". HA~! Then when they lived for a short while at Bakker's place at Heritage, I went out there. Was going to live with them for a while. That was the late 80's, but they sent me home because of the "talk" going on at the time. They didn't want me mixed up in it... or daddy's ministry. I was missing her something fierce, so thanks for this, as it shows her lovey-dovey side.

[@nettiemarie2556]

Oh wow, Id have lovvved to stay with them, you were def blessed 💜🙏👨‍👩‍👧

[@codybugg11]

[@afriendofryan]

i miss vestal

[@nettiemarie2556]

1:41 Mark pronounces her name the way Vestal said in her book how it's supposed to be and that Mark was one of the few to get it right: Ves-chal. 💝🎁💯

[@barbaracox8613]

Nettie Marie….I got to go back and look for that. I just read the book and don’t remember seeing it. I read that she didn’t like the way one of her high school teachers pronounced it. She died 18 years before I ever heard of her. But what a voice!!! I never heard a bigger one!!! She seemed like someone I would have loved to know.

[@barbaracox8613]

Nettie Marie: I did go back and I saw where she said he got it right.
