Losing a parent is so hard, but knowing that their not suffering and with the Lord, helps a lot. Daddy can't come back to our family, but we can go to him. Sending our heartfelt sympathy to your family. When my Daddy died I heard an expression I remember to this day, Earth's loss is heavens gain. It's not goodbye, but goodnight see you in the morning 🙏✝️♥️

Dear Matt, Tipper, Corie and Katie- I’m sending you all the biggest hug I can. 💕

You have been missed by many, Tipper. I'm sure that Miss Cindy will be missed for a long time to come. She raised a great son and a solid citizen. His compassion and kindness to others and his sense of responsibility toward his family is exemplary. If one leaves a legacy of such children, they've made a great contribution to society. The values that she imparted to Matt are being passed on to Katie and Corie. You all will be in my thoughts tomorrow. May your warm memories of Miss Cindy give solace to you all.

So so happy to see your smiles! Your beautiful Ms Cindy has for sure left behind an amazing legacy!!! To know that she had a "difficult childhood", and to see the photographs of her that depict nothing short of a classic American beauty, shows how strong of a spirit she truly had. 🙏❤️ You remain in my prayers.

My wife and I enjoy watching you from NSW Australia. Our condolences on your loss. We have both lost parents in the last two years. Gardening provides excellent therapy.

What a good daughter in law you've been, Tipper. You fulfill the 5th commandment with loving care. After you lay Miss Cindy to rest tomorrow, it will be your time to rest and see to your own needs. You will all be stronger on the shoulders of the ones who came before.

I lost my mama 4 1/2 years ago. It's something you never get over. The fresh grief lessens through time but it will always be there. Continued prayers 🙏

Thanks for “stepping back in the garden,” sitting on the bench, and sharing with us out loud. What a gift. Get some rest, Tipper and Matt. Let the small stuff go for now.

I am so sorry. Sending hugs and condolences to you, Matt, the girls, and all who loved her.

Matt and Tipper you all have been in my prayers. Sending hugs and love to all. 🙏🏻❤️

One day at a time. Even after things seem to calm down, you'll still feel like you are on a roller coaster of emotion for some time. Prayers for grace, comfort and peace for you all.

My mother was from Kentucky and died 4 years ago tragically of pancreatic cancer at 84 years old. I don't hear southern accents much since I live California now, so I love listening to you guys talk. It reminds me of my grandma and my mother gardening, cooking, talking, making simple delicious food. My mom made cornbread with bacon grease, and the best fried chicken. I loved the green onions, tomatoes and cucumbers and lemonade for Sunday suppers. Plus the desserts. Thank you for producing this great channel!

So sorry Ms Cindy has passed. She is now walking in heaven whole, healthy and strong. ❤️

Look at the pride in Matt's eyes when he speaks about his daughters caring for their grandmother. You both can be very proud of instilling the love of God and family into your children. My wife and I have 7 kids and the world has gotten to many of them despite our best efforts. Our community isn't as tight-knit as your mountain community, though I wish that it were. Ours is very rural. Our closest Walmart is 45 minutes away, but so few go to church around here anymore that it's sad. I hope the 'south' never loses it's reputation for church-going people. I've seen far too many kids go to church, get confirmed, then disappear. It's so sad.

Matt your mother was so precious, heaven must be rejoicing to have her home.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories of Miss Cindy's terrible sickness and passing. I don't know why, but I really appreciate it. I feel so sad for your family. Your comments that you and Matt said about Corie and Katie going through this will help them as a person and help them in the future is so true. Proud for the garden being so "lush" as Matt said. Bounty is next! Thank you so much for sharing Tipper!

“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.” And it warmed my heart to see both of you again at the homestead! Thank You Tipper and Matt

I'm so sorry for your loss and continue to pray for your family! Tipper, you're the first person who ever described the waiting and watching the loss of a loved one the way I felt it. I know you are experiencing loss, but you've helped me heal a bit with the loss of my Dad. I watched him lay in hospice for 9 days thinking, "will this never end?" I didn't want him to die, but he was so ready to go home. It's difficult because you don't know what they know, hear, fell, etc. You also feel this tug to grieve but you feel held back because they are still here. It's such a hard place to be in. I understand what you're saying and thank you for saying it! Prayers and love!

Your pain is so very heartfelt by all of us. It is so very hard to go through something as hard as this. I am caring for my 95 year old aunt and I moved up to Virginia from South Texas in order to do so. It’s hard Tipper, so, so hard. You draw strength from each other and God will continue to guide you.❤

Tipper, it was a very compassionate thing you did when you told Miss Cindy even if she didn't remember you, you would still be there. It brought on tears. My mother fought cancer and also had Alzheimers. She lived with it about 7 years. She did forget who I was by name, but every time I was with her I could tell by the look in her eyes that she knew who I was. I will be praying for your family.

My deepest condolences for your loss . Wishing you all the best .

I planted some Mississippi pink eyes yesterday because ya'll said you loved them so much. I am growing Cherokee purple tomatoes this year for the first time. I just love you guys. I'm so very sorry for the loss of Miss Cindy. I can't imagine the joy she is feeling being in the presence of God. I lost my mom almost 6 years ago. We shared the same birthday! My prayers are with you all.

Thanks Tipper and Matt, for your loving and heartfelt tributes for Miss Cindy, your Family's love and support is amazing. Sad times like these can be overwhelming and exhausting. Our God Bless and keep you all in His comfort.

Dear Pressley Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Ms. Cindy. I know you all loved her dearly & will miss her greatly. Just hold the precious memories you each have of her close & in so doing, you will keep a part of her alive in your hearts. When we do this, our loved ones never truly die! God bless you, each & every one.❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love what Matt said, “You do what you have to do.” May God’s Love surround you all.

Sorry for the loss of Ms. Cindy. That was such a quick process. Her picture with her obituary was so beautiful. I could see the girls in her. May God give you peace as only He can. Enjoy your videos.

⚘ How wonderful to be remembered with smiles and stories by friends and family with wet eyes...

So sorry for your family's huge loss. Lost my mother 2 years ago. I thank the good Lord we will see our loved ones again! God bless you all.

I can sure see the stress on Tippers face. She has been through alot. Matt is a strong man & deals with loss the way strong men do. God bless you both and comfort you.❤❤❤

Your daughters are magnificent young women. I have such respect for you all.

Matt's joke about the breathalyzer cracked me up. I've always loved that even in the midst of the intense grief that comes with losing a loved one, we somehow still have room in our hearts and minds for joy and humor. And how lovely for Miss Cindy to be laid to rest so close to Pap, just so special. Keeping y'all in my heart and wishing you peace during this time ❤

I went to a memorial service today for a dear friend. Cancer. I can see the sadness in both of your eyes. Grief is the price we pay for love. Bless you all. Sending love and prayers.

Please tell me he gets his first tomato sandwich 😊 Love y'all and everyone is still in my prayers!🙏

Monday will be an emotional day. May you all take solace in knowing He had mercy on Miss Cindy and that y'all did everything you could to support her and show her love. No regrets.

Dear Pressely family, Please accept this heartfelt condolence on the loss of your Ms Cindy. Thank you for sharing your lives with us, thank you for sharing your recipes. You all are good people. God Bless You. ❤

Y’all have raised some fine children, you should be so very proud of them.🙏🏻❤️

Tipper, you are an angel. Beautiful spirit. God bless your family

Sorry for your loss. Lost my mom 3 years ago, still miss her. Prayers and time helps.😊

You have my deepest condolences on the loss of Miss Cindy. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I’m glad to see that Matt hasn’t lost his sense of humor…reminding Tipper of the breathalyzer 😂 God bless you and keep you through this Matt. I love the garden…but popsicle time under the trees with you two, is my favorite - just like family. My heart and prayers are with you and for you all, as you wrestle with this dichotomy of feelings after an earthly event like this. 💔

So sorry about Miss Cindys passing. Keeping your family in thoughts and prayers.

You are ALL such good souls. You are a blessing to me. To so many others by watching and seeing your Faith & way of life( in action) Thank you for that. Love & hugs for you all.♥️🌹♥️✝️

Matt, you were very kind to help Mr. Roper with his water.

Y’all have been in my thoughts and prayers for awhile now. My daddy died with lung cancer, as a matter of fact it will be one year he has been gone on the 27th. He also suffered, wasted away to a fraction of the man he once was. I watched my hero go from the toughest man I know to the very weakest. He would tell us he was so sorry when we had to help take him to the bathroom, he would say I never wanted my girls to take care of me. It was just my mom, and my sister ,and me. He lost all his pride and dignity BUT one thing he never lost was his faith and the night before he went into the coma state he was in ,he was praising the Lord. I too thank God for hospice and the sweet nurses that were with us and cared about Daddy. Honestly your channel and the things that you said around Christmas is what helped me get through the holidays. You have no idea the impact y’all have on everyone that watches you. You helped me get through one of the darkest times of my life. Your love for family and the Lord was such an inspiration. I wish I could do the same for y’all ,but I can pray for you and trust the Lord for your peace and comfort. Thank you for letting us be a part of your family. (((Hugs)))

Y’all have raised wonderful girls. It is hard now , but they will treasure the last days with their grandmother. It is a privilege to comfort a soul in their final hours. God Bless your family. 🙏🏻

I didn't realize, Miss Cindy has already left us behind. Hugs and prayers to you all, and CONGRATULATIONS to you Miss Cindy ❤️

29:27 “That’s just what you do.” Those are some wise words, Mr. Matt! I wish more people still held such high morals!

Whenever the Silver Cord doth part, The SOUL Instantly Goes back to the Father who Created You and Loves You.

So sorry for you all at the loss of Ms. Cindy. I will rejoice she is now in the arms of the Lord and pray for you all to manage the grief with His help 💛🙏🏻

The price of great love is great grief. True. I still sorely miss my Dad, decades later. So beautiful how much you love each other.

Dear Matt,Tipper,& Family, My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Ms. Cindy.

We had an amazing hailstorm this afternoon! We think we may have lost our blueberries though. You have my condolences on the loss of Miss Cindy. You're all in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you and your family.

Tipper and Matt, I don't usually comment on videos. Sometimes I will leave an emoji such as this ❤. Today I felt compelled to leave a comment and let you know how peaceful and relaxing I find your videos. I watch your videos so much, I feel like you all are family. I'm so very sorry about Miss Cindy. I worry about the sadness you must be feeling. Matt I wanted to tell you please don't forget to take care of yourself, Miss Cindy would definitely be upset if you didn't. I see the stress in your voice and in your appearance for both of you. So please take the time to heal yourselves and not worry about your videos. Your "family" will still be here just as you told Miss Cindy.

I am so sorry that Matt lost his Mama. Prayers for all of you during this sad time. I love you all. 🙁💗

So sorry to hear about Ms. Cindy's passing. May God hold you all in His comforting arms. Prayers & love for you all - .

All of your plants look healthy and beautiful! My sympathies and prayers for the passing of Miss Cindy.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us during this difficult time . I know it wasn’t an easy video for either of you. My Heart goes out to all of you during this time. You are all in my prayers. Also so sorry to hear about your friend.

You all have precious girls and I do too. We have 3 daughters, so, so, precious. Since we are having so much problems with knees and me with a bad foot, they are having our yard mowed for us this year. Prayers for the whole family the Lord will guide you through all your needs…love you all if you were my family.

Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers🙏 RIP Miss Cindy❤

Stoic. Miss Cindy seemed stoic in her approach to what came. So dignified! I admire her very much. God bless you all. Thinking of you today as you lay her to rest, and praying for you. 🙌🏼 🕊 💞 P.s. What a beautiful choice for her resting place, remembering it from videos past. THANK YOU all and God bless you all.

Our deepest sympathies for Matt and this entire family in losing Miss Cindy. Your faith will be of great comfort during this difficult time. We’re thinking of y’all and praying for everyone. 🙏🙏🙏 Mike and Judy

Listening to this video again can see so much love. Thank you for sharing . This makes us all stronger in our faith. May good Bless you.

Tipper, Matt, Katy and Corey, so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your sharing all times with your family, the good and the bad. You have no idea how what you say touches and encourages others. You are such good people, so honest, kind, thoughtful and very sincere. I don’t listen every day to you but when I do I always get something out of your videos. Thank you for all you do! I love your cookbook Tipper! God be with you all at this time of sorrow. I know he is with you!

So very sorry to hear of Miss Cindy’s passing. Thursday was a sad day for me as well. My dad passed away at age 87. His cancer came back and it was very sudden. ❤He will be laid to rest this Friday. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

Been thinking of you all during this trying time. My condolences and hugs to you all❤❤❤

Oh lord, I am crying watching this. I am really very sorry for your precious loss💔💔💔😭😭😭.

Sorry to hear about Matt’s mother. It’s hard losing a parent

Welcome back Matt and Tipper. So very sorry for Miss Cindys home going. Many prayers for Gods comfort.❤

God bless you and your family let Matt know how sorry I am for for his loss I understand I lost my mom when she was 43 you all take care of yourself now and again my thoughts and prayers are with you all

Golly, I cried for Matt. You are good people. God bless and keep you.

So nice to see you both in the garden! 😊 🌿💚🌿

Matt and Tipper, thank you for taking the time to post this video. You all are just so precious, you're sweet family are all in my prayers, God bless and comfort each of you as only He can in this time of grief. ❤️🙏

It is nice to see you back Popsicle twins. The garden is coming along and you will be eating the reward for all your hard work. I am sure gardening is therapeutic as well. Enjoy being back.

Like Miss Cindy, I’ve always been impressed and amazed at your garden as well as your knowledge of vegetables, plants, and flowers. Matt did a great job of planting those herbs. Thank you for sharing about Miss Cindy. She was blessed to have you, Matt, Katie, and Corie caring for her on her last journey. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all through this time of grief. God bless you❣️

In the garden, we find healing & growth. ♥️

Please accept our sincere condolences, y’all will continue to be in our prayers 🙏❤️

So sorry for your loss good to see y’all

My prayers and sympathy go out to You & Matt and everyone who's heart was touched by Miss Cindy.

A funeral is for the living. We need the ritual to help in the grieving process and we need to share our love and sorrow with others. I've always felt it was selfish of the sick to say they didn't want anything. I just don't know what I would have done if I'd honored by husband's wish to just be buried, no service. His mother needed that ritual and the ones he grew up around wanted to pay their respects to his family and mine, our friends wanted the same. We need that fellowship to start our heart to heal.

Continuing to remember y’all in our prayers. We mentioned your family in church this morning. Don’t worry about any of us leaving. I don’t think you could run us off with a broom! 😀 Your garden is looking great. I’m also looking forward to my first tomato sandwich! Take care and get some rest. May the Lord bless your sweet and precious family! 😀❤️

Sending love and prayers to all of you. Miss Cindy is in the presence of the Lord and one day we'll be reunited with all those we loved that went before us. It's not really goodbye, it's just we'll see you after while! 💕🙏

Tipper and Matt, it was good to see y'all today. I see your strength and your faith, but I see your sadness too. I shed tears when your voice broke Tipper. Please know that we will all be here and rewatching videos until you feel like making new ones. I just want you to take care of yourselves and each other. I have been through this and know the toll it takes on loved ones as we are caregivers. I wish I could just reach through the screen and hug all of you. Y'all continue to be in my prayers and on Monday I will be lifting each of you up throughout the day. Y'all are such a precious family. May God Bless you!🙏🏻❣🙏🏻

So sorry for the loss of your mother Matt. Will keep you all in prayer tomorrow during the services. 🙏🙏💐🦋

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Miss Cindy. I so enjoyed the video where she shows how she does her ham. I will always be using her method for any ham I cook. Absolutely the best ever. Know that ya'll are in my heart and prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May the memory of Miss Cindy be a blessing.

Losing someone really hits one in the gut. Takes time and sharing.

Glad to see you back in the garden! Losing a parent gains a saint in heaven. God bless y’all!

In our church cemetery, my father, grandfather, members and deacons of the church would take turns each week to tend to the cemetery and it was arranged on a calendar. We are still thinking of y’all and know that the girls’ faith will grow from this so that they can pass on to your grandchildren (Tipper and Matt, they are WONDERFUL!) . I can’t wait for y’all to turn that page! We love ya! God bless!

Condolences to your family. Holding your grief with such dignity.

Matt,tipper and family.. We send our deepest condolences

I enjoy watching anything being planted

Sending condolences to you and your sweet family. 🙏💖

My deepest sympathy in the passing of Miss Cindy! God’s love comfort and bless you all!

We appreciate you all sharing your world good and bad with us. Your channel is always a place of peace even in the hardest of times. I wrote this with tests in my eyes my heart breaks for you all. Love and prayers 🙏💕 thank you again for sharing your peaceful world. P.s the mother's day bench is awesome Matt. Almost like your mother's always there in the garden too now 🌸🌞🌿

Miss Cindy was a beautiful lady. The heartache never stops when you lose a parent it just lessons a little some days. 💕

Whew... We're definitely into Summer here in Oklahoma ... bugs, skeeters, heat and humidity. Enjoy your cool temps for us too, y'all!

I just watched Pap and Paul sing. What a Blessing that you came from such an awesome family. You your husband, your girls and Granny are such a joy to watch. My Dad passed at age 42, I was 20. I always wonder how great it would have been for my daughter and grand kids to have known him. As a believer, I know he, my Mom, my Brother, and Grandma are resting in Peace, with no sadness, no pain, no hunger and no thirst. At leat thats what I pray for in my daiky prayers. I also ask our Lord and Savior and Almighty God to Grant them Memory Eternal and for forgiveness of sins. We are Russian Orthodox and all of ou famiky have been brought up in the Orthdox Church, since my GG and Papa came from Russia in 1913. I feel very Blessed to have worshipped with so many elderly people, it really humbles you. Prayers for you, your husband, the girls and your family. May God Grant Miss Cindy Eternal Memory and forgive her sins. Rest in peace Miss Cindy. fyi I am born and raised in Michigan. 🙏💜🙏

Your All in my Heart and Prayers! Thank you for the visit, they mean so much to me. God Bless. Jean❣&🙏

There's nothing like country folks for kindness.
