[@michelcromwell321]

Oh...I wanted to tell you, Heather, when you said you wrote out the Bible for hand therapy, it really inspired me. I started the day of that video, and write a chapter a day...I'm start Joshua 6 today. It's kind of shocking how much we miss because we skip over things, like the lineage of the tribes, when we're reading...it's an entirely different read when we are taking the time to write the Bible, and amazing how much we missed by skipping over those passages. I have loved every minute of it. ❤

[@sued9160]

Oh Heather, the love between you two was so amazing to see. This was beautiful 💜

[@wingsofchange7819]

My heart💙💙💙 he was such an awesome guy. I’ve been hanging around since the 1st cloth diapering videos you made. Ohhhh baby Mason💙💙💙 Then the canning & cooking….Watching Matt putz around in the yard of your old house…the joy that baby Mina brought, the light in his eyes when he looked at you all. He was a wonderful husband, dad, step dad, friend & we do miss him with you. My prayers are for your continued healing & I thank God our Father for holding you through these past several years. Nothing & no one but God alone can be given glory & honor. Thank you Father for giving those precious years of Matt’s love to Heather & those babies. Thank You for Heathers life that she can raise her children in Your word. Let her be a Light to all who may need a bright spot in their lives. Keep her blessed & protected. We love you Sister…..never doubt it.💙💙💙

May knowing that he is laughing and dancing in the presence of our Heavenly Father bring you comfort precious girl😭🙏🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Lyn4Him]

Heather, this is such a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing Matt with me, with us. I started following you the day of your horrific announcement so I never got to really meet Matt. This video means so much to me. Since that day I have prayed for you and through the lens of a camera I have cheered you on, cried with you, and laughed with you and even learned a few things. It is such a blessing to watch you grow in Christ and in life. Love you... and Matt!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

oh Lyn, you and others like you are the reason why I made this.So many of you never got to meet Matt, see who he was.... the way I saw him. I am so glad this video gave you a glimpse to that..... and I appreciate you so much for being here and sitting in this with me. I love you, Sis. xoxox

If it wasn't for Matt my Dad's place in Fla wouldn't of had such a good security system he hooked me up with a company he knew and trusted. I sure miss him.

Heather, my heart breaks for you. You and your family have been in my prayers since the day you lost your Matty. I cannot imagine the pain that you have to go through daily knowing that he is not physically here with you. I know that his love surrounds you and his kiddos always though. He is your guardian angel always.

[@trina7274]

Rest in the peace that surpasses all understanding Matt!! ❤️💕🙏🏼 Heather, I found your channel many years ago on my homesteading journey. I always loved Matt’s silly goofy sense of humor and his beautiful smile. He always seemed so knowledgeable and seemed as though he could fix anything! I just loved his silly ways! And I always looked foreword to his guest appearances in your lives or videos. We never really know how much we appreciate something like that until it’s gone…it’s more than just an overused saying, because it’s just so genuinely true. So thank you for allowing your beautiful husband to also make us smile too. Thank you for sharing him with us. Making someone smile is a genuine gift, it really is. I pray for you daily. May The Lord continue to heal your heart, mind and body. I also pray for healing for your beautiful kids, may they be healed as well ❤️💕🙏🏼 Your sister in Christ, Trina from Oregon 🌲🌲❤️💕🙏🏼

[@DiannePritchett]

I know this is a hard day for you and your kiddos! But you will see each other again when it’s your time to go home and that will be a joyous day for you and Matt! My prayers go out to you and your kids and Matt’s kids as well! May gods love and mercy follow you all the days of your lives! Heather this was a lovely tribute to Matt I know he would put a thumbs up for it👍!!!

[@pammyj4383]

What love you two have for each other. Blessing, these wounds run deep, they heal over but never completely heal because they take a part of us with them and that is okay because a love like this leaves a scar like that. Love and light to you special lady. I love you and everything that your are doing with your life so I Thank you for sharing you and your family with us. I didn't know him but, I do believe he would want you to heal and be happy cause he probably knows he is the love of you life and he was meant to be with you for the rest of his life. Peace be with you and your family.

[@midlifehousewifelife6092]

I loved watching this compilation video...I remember the birth update and so many other clips. What a beautiful compilation. I only wished that my husband and I did this instead of a photos because I lost him to a heart attack on 4/4/22 two weeks exactly after my step son killed himself. I give anything to hear his voice again. You Heather have been an inspiration to me ever since I started watching you cook from scratch to canning. As I walk without my best friend you encouraged me in so many ways and when I felt like I couldn't go on because my grief of both losses was much to bare....you put a video up and I knew I could get through this. I am glad that I was the women to walk with him through his life, at least his last 22 years. Thank you so much for all you do. Everyday I pray for your family and you also brought me closer to the Lord instead of being angry. So sister I don't know if thank you will ever be enough...i am now living in Michigan outside Battle Creek.
