My husband has been gone 33 years and grief still sneaks up on me from time to time if I see, hear, or see something that was special to him. I think that never goes away. God bless you all.

My husband died 33 years ago too, April 17, 1990. Same. I think of things I want to tell him all the time. Some days it seems like only yesterday. Lifting you in prayer @katemoore.

Dear friends. I'm so glad that Miss Cindy's service went well. The garden is flourishing! Rest, relax, and breathe. Hugs.

I do believe that the little hummingbird was a sign from Miss Cindy to say "I am here." 🙏 ❤ Love is forever. Peace and blessings. 🕊🌈

@Woodthrush very true, if you look for signs God in nature, you'll find Him. The song of the Wood Thrush and other spotted thrushes is a great example actually!

[@johnnabuzby6103]

I think it was not just Miss Cindy, but Pap as well in the form of that hummingbird.

[@fayrelightjordan2470]

My Memaw used to say, “ Scat there kitty, get your tail out of the gravy!” My grandpa was a railroad worker. At his funeral procession through town, at every crossing there was a railroad man standing his hat over his heart. Very comforting. ❤❤❤❤

[@avondalemama470]

Tipper, Matt, and girls, I didn’t realize Miss Cindy passed. I haven’t been on in a while. I’m so sorry for your loss. For believers, there’s nothing like knowing that the sting of death has been removed. Where would we be without Christ’s promises. I just lost my brother in law, a believer too, diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer in March, and he died four weeks ago. My father in law and brother in law, both pastors, died of the same cancer four years apart. Heaven does become more precious the older we get. I understand that now. If we live long enough, we’ll have more loved ones on the other side, than we have left on this Earth. Even so, Lord Jesus come quickly. Will love hearing more about Miss Cindy as you reminisce. May the Lord give you all much peace. Cheryl, from G-ville.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Bless you! So very true!!

[@anneefroc4234]

So true, its sad when our elders die and you miss them and talking to them. I do believe in talking to them still and believe their spirit is close when we need them. Only time helps as death is so raw and it takes time. Miss Cindy has left a legacy in Matt and her blood line runs through your lovely girls. She was so pretty and looked a kind person. Your apple jelly sounds interesting. Kia kaha(stay strong) in Jesus and Gods word to you all❤✝️🐾💐

[@lauriecox4418]

My Cousin just passed away from Liver Cancer, age 68 On June 24 th 2023 , Also my brother Age 62 Passed away from leukemia, thanking the Lord that they both gave their life to Christ, and now they are in heaven, with my other three siblings, my mother, my grandmother grandfather, and all that went before them, I know one sweet day will all be reunited with all of our love ones in heaven!!! may God richly give you all comfort of the heart!!! and strength, as you go through this time of grief!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@lauriecox4418]

You’re talking about scat whenever somebody would say that when you sneeze oh it just brought so much joy to my heart. My granny is in heaven now, and she used to say that one anybody would sneeze scat now she was born in Valdosta Georgia, although she was raised in Florida. That’s where I live at. I just love your show and I am so sorry for your loss. I would love to meet you all one day you all remind me so much of my family that’s gone on to be with the Lord especially my granny and her side of the family. Blessings to you all.

[@pamsam8933]

When I lost my mom, it was "the quiet after the confusion" that shook my soul. I listened to alot of music seeking comfort. Listened to alot of Josh Garrels' music especially. "Farther Along" always calmed my soul and fed my faith. Those lyrics just spoke to me. Give it a listen, if you haven't already. Share it with Matt. Yall remain in my prayers. "Live in the sunshine". ❤❤❤

[@deborahringley4662]

So very true My mommy's been gone since 1996. After I see Jesus, the next one I would like to see is my Mother.

[@larlar8580]

Tipper, I’m glad you mentioned having respect for funeral processions. The way my grandparents and parents were raised, you pull over in both lanes when a procession approaches, out of respect - even on a big freeway, I have pulled over before. Also to stand quietly when one passes you by. This is such an easy thing to do and such a generous, kind gift you give to the mourners. I wish parents taught their children respect for things like this, or just respect period. Love and blessings to you all❤

[@thelkabibb3774]

When my grandma passed of course we were crying and a dear friend said a true lady knows when to leave. Miss Cindy seemed to be a true lady from all the nice things spoken about her

You were a wonderful daughter-in-law to her. You talk about her like she was your parent. Apple jelly or not, she knew you loved her. Remember that. I'm sure she's eating all the apple jelly she can while walking down streets of gold. Many prayers in the year of "firsts" without Miss Cindy. Grief never really goes away. It just stings less over time.

Thank you for the reminder-she did know I loved her and she surely loved me 😀

My maternal grandmother had her funeral church service all planned, including who was to sing solos. She died at age 94, so seeing her elderly and frail friends shuffle up to the podium was super special. It really made things for her family easier when everything was planned.

This video gives me the feeling that I've dived into my cell phone screen up here in Connecticut and emerged next to you down in your magic garden in Brasstown. I can feel the breeze and smell the soil and plants from the garden. I smile fondly at the mention of Miss Cindy's habits and pleasures, and am grateful that her last days came in the deliciosly long, cool spring of 2023 that has become rare on the Eastern Seaboard. Listening to the pair of you talk with about grief, love, popsicles (my favorite Outshine flavor: tangerine), bountiful gardens and the tallest of lacy cosmos (cosmoses? Doesn't sound right) in, I imagine, several shades of pink as well as white. You have a way of spreading the Pressley grace to all your followers with nothing but a camera and microphone. What a privilege to have discovered you on this platform. Tommy toes and apple-peel jelly, the Clean Plate Club and "scat now, Tom."

I'm trying, as I'm sure you are, to remember good times. There is grief but there is also gratitude for the time that we had with our loved one. It sounds like Miss Cindy was a gift to you as my Dad and Mom were to me. People forever change our lives. Some give life to us. Customs and traditions, phrases and idioms. They give us life not only in the since of birth but in the joy they bring and even in the frustrations, because we learn about grace through those frustrations. Dear ones, sharing your love and memories with us is giving life and healing to us. It is a gift.

God Bless you all. Have had your family in my prayers ❤ I have lost both my parents sadly. My Daddy passed away of a massive heart attack in 1983 of the young 55. I was 19. And of all times on Valentines day. He was a carpenter. Even to this day when i go in a place where they sell lumber..that smell immediately comes over me and it makes me tear up..to this day. I feel so fortunate to have had my my Mama who had just celebrated her 80th birthday..back in 2011. She had a massive stroke...after 2 weeks, she started going downhill rapidly. Hospice was called in @ the hospital. She wasnt communicating with us too much..but, as the youngest of 4 siblings...(she called me her little nurse- she was a cancer survivor) she hung on and on...i knew she wanted to go to her house, so, we transported her there. After 2 days, she peacefully passed away. I was so worn out and was "relieved" because of what the stroke did to her...she would end up in a nursing home. Sorry ive rambled on..with a long comment. I wanted to say, too, about the sneezes...we always would say "Scat cat- get out of town " : ) also, Tipper...i am enjoying the cookbook ! We are already getting plenty of squash...and have picked 2 gallons of greenbeans. Eggplants are looking good...and oh my, the tomatoes. Cant wait to get our first ripe one. Love & prayers sent your way ❤

Y'all talked about so many things that brought back memories. 1) Scat, pussycat, you're tails on fire, 2) My mother loved candles. She had some battery powered candles. On the day of her funeral, I walked into her bathroom and one of the candles were lit, 3) My dad was a fireman. The day of his funeral, the local fire department had all of the trucks outside with the ladders raised in the air, 4) There's more, but I'm old and I forgetful. I should have taken notes, 5) I prayed (after I accepted that it was Miss Cindy's time to pass) that the good Lord would let her go peacefully and without pain, 6) I know that you are all exhausted, 7) I hope Matt, Austin, and Nick had good days at work, 8) I like it when you just talk like the camera isn't on, 9) Oh yeah, I'm excited for that first skillet of fried squash.

God may try to tell You something but your not sure then it happens or IT comes around again YOU KNOW IT'S THE LORD'S WILL. I'm so happy your gardens are filled with abundance even though you had to leave it too with the Lord! God Bless You All and Keep You..

My Aunt Alma born 1921 in foothills of Blue Ridge Mountains NC/VA would say "Scat Tom, your tail is in the gravy!" I say it to my grands now to remember her. ❤ *Tip: Crumbled eggshells sprinkled in garden fights slugs.

I ALWAYS stop for a funeral procession. Im amazed at the amount of i people (im assuming) just don’t know anymore. It sounds like Miss Cindy’s funeral was beautiful. Tipper, make that apple jelly and set out a little jar on her grave. Do you remember the movie, “Fried Green Tomatoes”? Well, when you were talking about that, I thought of how the lady put a jar of honey on the grave. Miss Cindy is with y’all more now, than she could ever be here on earth. She’s with you, always. She’s so proud. I love y’all. Take time to rest and just try to not push yourselves. You know we are all here. We aren’t going anywhere!

Visited my sisters and brought the signed copy of your book. We had a lovely visit and they are planning which recipe to make first. We worked on their garden and it was good to get my hands in the dirt. I flew home today and called my sisters to let them know I got home safe. My sister, Laura, told me they went out to the garden and collected a number of squash and some zucchini . All during my visit we had popsicles at night ...you guessed it, Outshine brand lol! Prayers for comfort in mourning. Love your channels.❤❤

Love that!! So glad you had a good time 😀

[@robbin30680]

So awesome about the hummingbird and hawks, letting you know she is home and doing fine. My Mama would say "scat cat" when we sneezed, I had completely forgotten about that. God Bless you all.

[@darlahouston4670]

I’m so terribly sorry for your loss. I was just thinking a couple of nights ago how lucky you were to have an unfractured family. But this comes to us all.

Tipper, Matt, & girls, I'm so sorry for your loss. When I saw the title of this video, I just wasn't able to watch it until today :( I'm so glad that Miss Cindy's service went well, I’m keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers. God Bless you all!

[@surrethauebel1682]

Thank you so much for reminding me of “scat.” When I was growing up in north central Mississippi, “Scat” or “scat there” is what my family said when someone sneezed.

[@rhondalampe6676]

She will definitely be missed. What a beautiful person inside & out. Glad u we’re able to be with her. ❤& Prayers

One of the most beautiful sounds, is you, Mrs Tipper laugh. You have not only infectious but it is literally a beautiful laugh! It makes my heart smile every time!! Had to tell you my daughter calls sneezes 'Bless You's' She says Mommy I had a bless you, or did you have a bless you? It is The little things!! Continued prayers!!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so sweet! Thank you! How sweet that your daughter calls them that 😀 I will think of them as bless you's now 😀

[@josiecardenas4440]

Thanks Tipper and Corie for sharing your evening with us . Love that saying "scat cat your tail is in the gravy " Have a wonderful week hope Matt has a good day at work , stay safe you all .

[@MsOkgal]

I am so very sorry for your loss. May the Lord comfort you all until you meet again that sweet day in Heaven. Bless you all.

Miss Cindy's home-going sounds like it was very special, meaningful, just right and beautiful. What a blessing to have family singing at one's funeral (not everybody has such a blessing, as I'm sure y'all know) !!! Without a doubt, Corie's words for her grandmother were deeply loving and thoughtful, perfect. God bless the soul of Miss Cindy, bless you all until you see her again. P.S. I was among those who emailed Dreyers (company producing Outshine). I told them I know for sure y'all are upping their sales, as I'm buying them (never heard of them prior to your videos) and they're often sold out. Love to you all. Continuing to lift you up in prayer. 🙌🏼 💓 🕊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you!! We appreciate you 😀

[@lindamoses5932]

So sorry about your loss of Ms Cindy. X Cancer is a terrible monster to deal with and to fight. My husband of 40 years passed in February from cancer. He fought a painful fight for a couple of years before he was finally taken. I still see or hear things I need to tell him about when I get home. Still haven’t gotten used to cooking for one. It takes awhile to get passed the grief enough to continue with living. Bless you all and prayers for your healing. ❤❤🙏🙏

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Bless you!!

[@patmoritz5213]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@maryheckman5083]

My great grandfather used to say, "Scat, cat" when someone would sneeze. It is nice that service for Miss Cindy went well; may she rest in peace.

[@junelovvorn3221]

Thanks for the update. I love your and Cories garden. Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks so much 😀

[@barbarafortune2031]

Scatt kiddy cat is what I raised my children on. I heard my grandmother say that. I was raised in the very upper mountains of SC. How I have round up in Utah is a long story, but so miss my mountain home. Praying for all of you in your loss.

[@sarahthomas9153]

When I used to have a garden, I would plant pumpkin just so I could eat the blooms, I would dip them in egg then flour and fry them, so yummy!!!

[@susanschuck8124]

God Bless your family! Thanks for taking time to share with us🙏

[@pmay7822]

Daddy would say "Scat" when he'd hear you sneeze. That come from the Appalachias. Prayers & thinkin of you all in your grief & sorrows. ❤
