My condolences to you and your family on the loss of Papa Curt.

That was beautiful. No man could want a better tribute to his life than a grandchild being able to make such a video.

I'm a 65 year old farmer who's had trouble crying for several years. I cried throughout the video. I've missed that. The harder the grief is just a testament of your love . Has to be your best video. I like your character and integrity. All my best

THE Kind of Grandpa that you will never forget!!!

Don’t know how you pulled that off Laura without balling all the way through this video. I’m a 70 year old man that has been following your channel for close to two years. I couldn’t stop crying the whole way. Sending my prayers for your family.

Rest in Peace Papa Curt. I am so sorry for your loss but I hope you can take some small comfort in knowing you honor his legacy every day of your life.

Laura, you mentioned that you see your grandpa everywhere you turn on the farm. Remember, you were part of him as he is part of you every moment of your life and, hopefully, your children's lives. Chin up, you are a strong young woman, and thank you for sharing!

I lost my grandpa in 2017 grandma In 2019 and my brother in 21 keep your head up your in my prayers

Unbelievable. I can't watch beyond minute 3 cause I'm balling my eyes out over people I've never nor will ever meet. It is a testament to the positive impact you have made in this world and I'm sure he was so proud of you as a generational farmer and the amazing person you grew to be. Our prayers are with you and your family.

I met Curt at a pole vault event in Aurora. I was wearing my AKRS John Deere shirt and we struck up a conversation. He asked me if I'd heard about his optimistic granddaughter Laura. I had not and he proudly told me about you and your You Tube channel Laura Farms. I've been watching your videos ever since. He was a great guy and will be missed!

AND MOST IMPORTANT, thank you PAPA CURT FOR YOUR SERVICE!

What a loving tribute to your Papa Curt. I talked to your Grandma Carla in September. We were classmates way back then. I'm so sorry for your families loss of such a kind and loving man. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know he's in heaven watching over all of you. May God bless you all.

I'm so so sorry for your loss... We on your channel can tell the kind of man he was by your work ethics and morals. He taught you well. Continue to live his legacy, and be the wonderful hard working person you are. You and Grant are the example that every teen/20 something needs to emulate. The world would be so much better if they did...

I am a grandfather also. Let me assure you that there are an extremely few events in a man’s life that are anywhere close to having your granddaughter give you a hug and say I love you! You have done well.

Rest easy brother 'Bee. Fair winds and following seas. You will be missed. Condolences to you and your family Laura.

What a wonderful tribute to you grandfather. The memory of the just is blessed. Proverbs 10:7. I am a Vietnam veteran and remember the SeaBees when I was there. My dad was a Navy SeaBee during WWII in the South Pacific, building roads and airstrips. I'm glad to say that my father was a believer, and so am I, 2 Timothy 1:12 My life verse." God will wipe all tears from their eyes and there will be no more death". Revelations 21:3 Isaiah 25:8 "Soon and very soon we are going to see the King", and Papa Curt.

Laura, it's hard to put into words how I feel about this amazing and very personal tribute you put together for all of us to share with you. To be able to speak about your memories, thoughts and raw emotions at such an incredibly difficult time is unparalleled. You're such a strong, positive spirit and I just want you to know that I, and the thousands and thousands of other caring "strangers" here on the channel, wish your entire family nothing less than our deepest condolences and our unwavering spiritual support for all of you, now and forever. It took more strength than I could ever muster to make a video like this, and we love and respect you even more for including us in the realities of life that we all must deal with. I really hope it makes you feel just a little bit better by opening up to us as you chose to do here. Be well, stay strong and know that we're ALWAYS there for you. - Bob (Toronto, Canada)

The ending of the video was absolutely priceless !! From someone that slowly lost each one of my grandparents, then a beloved uncle and then my mother.... The only thing that can help is time. Do whatever you need to do to work through the process. We will all be here when you're ready.

Laura, I'm a husband, father, and Grandpa. I've had a couple of careers in my life but in my heart always wanted to be a farmer. Leaving a legacy as your grandpa did, is magical and special! Do grow from the land, grow love in hearts, grow an amazing family; well, there's nothing more special in my thinking! Wishing you and your family peace as you grieve the loss! 🫂😘🙏

Incredibly sweet, Laura. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your Papa Curt and the special love you shared with one another. He rejoices in Heaven and lives on through you!

Your character is one that we need more of in this world. Know you can carry Papa Curts legacy, and it’ll be shared with the entire world. He’s damn proud of you, and so are we.

As a two tour Vietnam Veteran (66&71), I can appreciate your Papa's need to farm when he returned to "the World." He probably helped to construct many of the buildings and facilities I saw or used during the two tours. The SEEBEES are a great group that built many projects that may still be standing, today. A hearty SALUTE to your Papa's memory and legacy during his time on Earth. You were very lucky and privileged to be able to work with him and gain knowledge of his many years farming and in construction. Your resilience as a farmer will be rewarded over the years.

Dear Laura and family, I am 74 years old and my grandfather bought a farm for us in 1952. My Dad farmed our small farm for many years and has remained in the family to this day, Every time I walk the farm among the buildings and fields, it brings back memories and stories with our land, It is my prayer that I can once again help with the farm ai the time of my passing, You touched my heart< BTW I have a pair of pliers from my Dad. God bless you and your family there

The whole video I was doing my best not to break but the ending got me choked up….choked up bad. I’m 30 yrs old and I never met any of my grandparents from either side being an immigrant and my parents not having the money to fly us there nor was there FaceTime at the time but it got to me because I see how much my 6 year old daughter loves my dad and follows him around while he’s doing ranch work. He loves her to bits, and he secretly gives her a candy bar or sneaky sips of soda that her mother and I don’t agree on her having all the time but when she’s around my dad she looks to see where I’m at and when I’m outside or gone out for a second she’ll ask my dad for sweets 😂 …. I saw my dad through my little daughter’s eyes and I figured that’s how Laura feels. I’m sorry for your loss but I’m glad heaven gained a soldier. He has transcended as we all will but the beautiful memories will always stay. Love and light to all. ❤

I lost my father and it was so hard. God bless you Laura. Ill pray for you and Grant and your family. Condolences to all.

It hurts to see you in pain when you've been such a bright light, all the best to you and your family.

Such an extraordinary tribute to a man of God and Grampa! God bless you, Sweetheart. Prayers for you and the family throughout this difficult time.

I am so truly sorry for the loss of your grandfather. You have a wonderful channel and you are amazing person to be able to open up and share your life with everybody. You have truly touched many many people.

We love you girl! Stay strong. Know your grandpa is sitting up in heaven smiling down on you. You’ve made him and will continue to make him proud.

I know how difficult this was for you to share. Thank you. It was a huge tribute to your Grandpa and spoke volumes about him, his family and his legacy. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers over the coming months. Your midwestern resilience and care shines through everything you do. You take care, I’m sure your “camera man” will always have your back ...

As a "PeePaw" with 5 grandchildren, two of which are girls, this broke my heart for you. I only hope when I'm gone they will miss me as much as you miss Papa Curt. I'm starting the third year of cancer treatment. Stage 3 and still alive. God bless you and I hope to run into Curt in heaven.

We grieve your loss with you. “Tough times… they don’t last. Tough people… they last” He sounds like he was the embodiment of that quote. May he Rest in Peace.

As a grandfather myself, I know that your Papa Curt was pleased as punch that your chose farming as your career, and seeing your enthusiasm and happiness farming filled him the the deepest pride and satisfaction. You'll see him again someday, and he'll tell you those things himself. THANK YOU for sharing such a wonderful tribute honoring a man that had such impact on your life!

He'd be proud of the legacy you and Grant are carrying on Laura. RIP

Dear Laura. my heart goes out to you and your family, I am feeling your pain and heartaches with you. My father passed away on Veterans day back in Nov, he was battling Lewy body dementia and unfortunatley took its toll. I know what its like to lose a such a pillar of a man in your life. The pain is real and I have to say it is never easy to see all of the little things in remembering of our loved onesthat makes us cry and laugh, but the joy of knowing he is with God now, and that we will see each other again one day is the greatest. I know your grandfather worked hard all his life and loved his family to provide for, better there lives and to give back what God gave him. I have watched you and your family grow as a family through your channel, and to see your grandfather from time to time helping you and mentoring you to be the best that you can be. We will miss our loved ones, this is true, and it hurts deep inside. Just know that Papa Curt like my father are looking down and watching over us now, as one of Gods Angels. Remember the good times, always share the word of God, and never stop loving. Keep your chin up, and keep those pliars oiled and on your hip. Love and Big hugs from Ohio Scott

I did not sin today by listening to you speak about our faith .Your grandfathers legacy lives on. God bless you and yours.

That was an incredible tribute to your grandfather. Being a fellow Seabee VN vet, I was glad to see that he still honored his Navy time.

What an amazing thing to be born and die on the land you care for. There's nothing more I could wish for than to be that connected to the land. And then there's you, continuing the tradition, but doing it in your own style with the social media dimension to it. All around, you're honored by where you are and what you're doing. Nice job, Laura.

Your Grandpa came from the best generation ever in America. Reminds me of my own Grandpa, blind in one eye, but still able to hit a ten ring at 300 yards. owned the fastest car available in 1953, and provided dental services to anyone in town regardless of ability to pay. I guess they ate a lot of chicken, which was a bit of a luxury in the day. I learned SO much from him, things I still use today. The most important is empathy, you never know what the other person is going through. Thanks for the heartfelt video, brings a little bit of my Grandpa back to me.

Laura, sorry for your loss. I'm sure making this video was very hard, but it's a great tribute to your Papa Curt. As I attended my dad's funeral a bit over a decade ago, I relayed to a friend how much my heart ached. I remember his response well. He said that the depth of the pain experienced at the death of a loved one is an indication of the depth of the love we felt for them during their life. It's obvious that you had a deep love for Papa Curt, and equally obvious that he had a similar deep love for you and was very proud of you. It doesn't erase the pain, but it is wonderful to have the knowledge that you will one day be reunited. I remember an interview you did with him a few years back about his time in the service. He was very passionate and demonstrated a great love for both his family and his country--you are greatly blessed to have such a wonderful legacy. God Bless and prayers for you and your family...

A fine homage to papa Curt! Big virtual hugs from me to you, Laura. I lost my wife in 2020 to cancer and the first thought I had is that she is no longer in pain and she gave so much of her stories and love to everyone around her.

Signing Off - This is Grandpa. What a fitting closure to such an emotional video. Condolences from my family to yours in these sad times. You are a testament to how great a man he truly was.

I lost my mother 7 years ago Thanksgiving weekend. She was an amazing lady, I miss her everyday but I praise her everyday she gave so much to my family. You will never forget but will live in your heart for ever. Sorry for your loss Blessings

It hurts, when your around somebody so much so close, then snatched away. My PaPaw was a preacher, and his last sermon was i have angels shoes on my feet, i ready to part, that was Sunday morning, sometime Sunday night he left this world on angles wings. Thank you Laura for sharing some of your grandfather life with us, and yes I’ll keeps your family in my prayers.

That was the nicest tribute to your grandfather. Prayers to you & your family during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss, Laura. I made the mistake of watching that video while at my desk at work. That last scene made this 57 yr old Marine cry like a school girl. It was so obvious in that clip how proud he was of you and all you have accomplished. If you continue to produce content as if you were seeing it through his eyes, you will have tremendous success! Also, it was wonderful that you shared your faith, the way he would have. So glad to know that you ( and I'm sure Grant as well), know where you are going when you die. That's many years/decades in the future, but maybe you can plan a meet and greet when you get there. 😉

You did a good job memorializing your loving grandfather. You’ll never have any regrets if you live the rest of your life as he would have.

Laura.... so sorry to hear the loss of youre Papa Curt... Grandpa's * Grandma's are so special... we will keep you * your family in our PRAYERS.... God bless

R.I.P Papa Curt may prayers go to you all ❤🙏

I began watching this channel because I could see just how deep your love of farming runs. Your enthusiasm and pure joy is infectious. I now see the origins of that love for farming. The traits you describe in Papa Curt are precisely the traits I saw in you when I first began watching your channel. I have always said that, when we lose someone in our life, they live on in us because we wouldn't be 'us' without their influence. You obviously took his teachings and his character and his work ethic to heart. Undoubtedly, Papa Curt is proud of you and Grant. Talk to him daily and ask his advice when you need it. He will always find a way to give you an answer. As long as you continue to follow your dreams, you will continue to make him proud.

Life is like a book and every day a page will turn so he always watching and he love you always like Christ my mom died from cancer but she was a lovely person and a great mother god bless

Your Papa Kurt was a big constructor of the World. My condolences and God bless you, May you hace great strength, he is with you from Heaven.From Canary Island.

Long time viewer and lurker. Not sure if I've commented before but I was moved to do so today. Condolences to your family. When you said Papa Curt not only gave you land but gave you one of the best pieces of land set my teary eyes to Niagra Falls. I am sure it was that love filled decision that has blessed your farming journey thus far and most certainly gave your Papa Curt such pride to see you become Laura Farms. ♥️

How lucky he was to see you grown and building a wonderful future. That’s all we can ask (as a grandparent myself) that we live long enough for the next generation to carry us in their memories. Lovely tribute and he lives on in you.

This is a video that speaks volumes of what America needs. Love, life, and family. I know where your coming from and only time will heal. God bless your heart, you are a precious person.

Deepest condolences from my wife and I, two old retired Navy Chiefs. My wife was a SEABEE when she retired , your grandfather was part of the Navy Family also. You and your family are in our thought and prayers.

Laura, what a beautiful and heart felt memorial for your papa. I usually keep control of my emotions but I have not cried so hard for you and your family. I doubt that you will read this for the thousands of condolences you will receive. Thank you for opening your life to us. You are indeed a remarkable woman. I will always keep you and your family in my prayers.

My condolences. Its hard losing a loved one. I honestly cried right along with you Laura!! Very evident how much you truly loved your Grandfather!!

You just made this old cowboy shed some tears, your grandpa was a great man & I wish I would have met him on earth bc I think we would have been great friends. I look forward to farming with him in Heaven

Amazing tribute to Papa Curt. I’m sorry for your loss, but know he is proud of you sharing his impact, your story and your faith. I held it together until he signed off at the end 😭

I am so sorry for your loss. You gave a beautiful tribute to your grandpa and let us all see what a truly wonderful man he was.

Laura, sorry for your loss. It’s brave of you to share your emotions and story with the world. Thank you!

Grandparents are very special. They are ‘super-parents’. Now I am s grandparent snd it is a great feeling. Keep up the good work. It’s a nice channel to watch. Very interesting znd motivational. Thoughts to you from Australia.

I'm so happy you have video recordings to visit when you feel him around and you will. A smell, a breeze, A familiar sunset and he will be with you.

My condolences on the loss of your Grandpa and my prayers for your family. It is comforting to know that he was (and you are) a person of faith.

Such a beautiful tribute to Papa Curt. Well done Laura.

Such a Great Man....He is with our Lord in Heaven keeping an eye on the Farm and his Family. He is blessed with eternal life waiting for his family to join him again someday.

Laura, you couldn't have done better honoring your grandpa. I am sure you brought a lot of joy to his life. Yes, you sorrow, but not like those who have no hope. He'll be waiting for you... God bless you & your family.

My condolences to you and your family. Your compassion for your Papa Curt and your family is one factor which makes you such a great person. You and Grant earned a well-deserved time off.

I think I speak for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people; we love you back Laura. Your family is awesome and I am sad to hear of your loss. In another way, happy that your life was shared with Papa Curt, and his with you. As I write this video is at 60K views. I bet it's close to double that number in weepy eyes, mine included.

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I’m sure he is over the moon proud of you.

Laura, You reduced me to tears with your loving tribute to your Papa Curt. My deepest sympathy to you and the entire family. Your grandparents are my generation. I’m 72 and my husband turns 75 on your B’day, May 11. I first came across your KZfaq channel a couple of months ago while recovering from hip replacement surgery. While I do not have a farming background I spent many wonderful hours on my grandparents farm growing up as a child in the 50’s and 60’s. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Best wishes to you and Grant as you begin your farming journey together.

What an amazing tribute you gave to your Papa, Laura. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Rest in Peace Papa Curt. I'm so sorry for your loss. He would have been so incredibly proud of your achievements, and its nice to see a piece of him live on through your farming journey

What a wonderful tribute to your grandpa. He must have been an incredible guy, I'm very saddened for you over the loss of him. I've been watching your videos since almost the beginning, and enjoy them very much. You're an amazing farm girl, and I think you and Grant make a great team. God bless you, your families and your family to come.

Great tribute, my daughter never knew my father and I believe she would have had the same relationship as you had with your grandfather. God bless

You were blessed to have him in your life for so long

Hey Laura. I am messaging from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I love all your posts here but never comment, this one really hit home with me. I felt your pain and loss, and send prayers and comfort to all your family in this time of sorrow. Your videos make me feel like part of your family and I have come to love your Papa Curt from the times he has featured, he reminds me so much of my own Papa who was very similar, he came through hard times as well. The "old shop" is just like my Papa's workshop, so much saved for the time it may be needed. You will find a lot of joy and comfort in the memories and things you see in the old shop, but there will be times when something you see or remember just hits you unexpectedly and the tears come again. But the great memories do long outlast the grief you feel, the sorrow will turn to joy, I promise. I am forever thankful to Papa Curt ,and all the veterans, for his service to ensure freedom for Americans and also for us New Zealanders as well.🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you so much for sharing this video with us all. God bless you and thank you for sharing your faith, and for Papa Curt, I do know where I am going when I die and look forward to meeting you there. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

laura the best thing you can do to celebrate his life is to live well and pass on the love he shared with you to your family. May the lord give you peace of mind knowing he is watching you from heaven. GOD bless you and your family dear.

You got to understand baby girl, your still walking and breathing and your grampa will be watching out for you, God will always have your back, AMEN,❤ take care

So sorry for your loss. He had to be so proud of you for following in his footsteps and for being the wonderful person that you are. You had many thousands of your fans shedding a tear with you on that beautiful tribute to your grandfather. God bless you and the rest of your family.

So sorry for your loss Laura... this tribute to your Papa Curt was truly heart-wrenching... I'm glad you shared his life with us. Sending prayers for you and your family to offer you some peace 🙏🙏🙏

Your pain was so tangible it reduced me to tears. Clearly there is a reason for your good nature and positive spark. You will know them by their fruits and you are a testimiment to your faith.

sorry for loss I will be praying for family

I lost my 89 year old Dad last October. I'm 52 but I can tell you - coping with the loss of a loved one is hard at any age. My Grandpa died aged 70 when I was only 4 years old, so I'm thankful that you had much more time with your Grandpa than I did. As you and your family move forward, keep him with you in your heart and you can be thankful that he passed away in his own house with his beloved family with him. We all have to die some day and that it the best way in my opinion. I send you my prayers and very best wishes from the other side of The Pond in Southwest England. Take care and be strong.

Condolences laura on your family’s loss. We’re proud of you for making this incredibly tough video

Thank you for honoring our God, our Creator, and our Savior with your Life and this channel. My very close sister in law passed away yesterday at 55 from cancer with all of us by her side. We are also so thankful that she accepted Jesus as her Lord and savior and lived her life honoring Him. It was no accident that this video popped up for me to watch today and my tears continue....I pray your grief has passed and that God's strength will guide in your journey with Grant. Keep God the center of your life. And to God be the glory great things He has done. Amen!!!!

My condolences to you and you family and other farmers that knew him

Sorry for your loss Laura! A truly great man is hard to lose and he will want you to carry on with honor, peace and happiness. He knew what you loved and wanted you to experience it with all his love.

As soon as I saw the title of the video, I knew. I knew someone who meant the world to you had moved on to the other side where he no longer has any pain or suffering. I know how this feels and I know how difficult this is for you right now. Remember all the good times and never forget his love for you. Prayers to you and your family. ❤

I served in Viet Nam in 1969. We (Marines) provided security for a couple of months for the Seabees that were rebuilding a bridge around Dong Ha that the NVA or VC had blown up. Those Seabees worked from daylight to dark, although they were a crazy lot, I had much respect for them. Papa Curt is in the eternal light and love of our Creator. Thank you for sharing the Gospel to your viewers, you put a big smile on Papa Curt's face and made the Saints in heaven rejoice! Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and is to come!

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was obviously one of the greats! His legacy lives on through you and in your ground.

Love and prayers! What a great tribute to your grandfather.

What a beautiful and heartfelt tribute. My condolences and prayers to you and your family. Please take comfort in the love and knowledge he gave to you. Thank you for sharing your feelings, family, faith and farming with all of us.

Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just returned home from spending a week with my younger brother. He had just received a diagnosis of and had surgery for a glioblastoma brain tumor. The prognosis is not good. I shared that he needed to keep his faith and he said he couldn't even read his Bible because of the vision problems he is experiencing. My wife and I went the next morning and got him a giant print Bible. He broke down when I handed it to him and said merry early Christmas. I know he has been reading and has thanked me several times. We have a lot of prayer warriors and family that are praying for him and his family and I will include you and your family in my prayers. May God give you the peace you need to get through your loss.

Young lady, the fact that you got thru this video is all that needs to be said about what he "passed down to you". Congrats on a life well lived, Papa Curt. I wish you peace...

Rest In Peace Papa Curt, my condolences to you and your family. You will be missed and your spirit will live on and to a fellow SEABEE our brothers and sisters salute you!

I have always been taught that a person’s worth is not in the material “things” we acquire; but rather in the lives we touch for the better. Judging by your Dad and you, your Grandfather brought more value to this world than 99% of people who have ever lived. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to him and for sharing it with your KZfaq “family”. Please know that my family and I will be keeping you and yours in our thoughts and prayers. We who are left behind feel the sadness of our loss; but just think of the joy in the reunion he is having with those who have gone before. Hold tight to your faith - you will see him again in the celestial home that has prepared for each of us.

You mentioned that Papa Curt touched your life in a lot of ways. I suspect now he's looking down and realizing how many lives you're touching in a positive way via KZfaq, and how his legacy is being shared with people around the world on a regular basis to people all around the world. I'm sure you've made him proud. Wishing peace and comfort to you and your family.

Papa curt may be gone, the farm may not be the same, but it will still thrive because your grandpa will live on in you Laura, he taught you to be a Farmer, but more importantly, he instilled his values, in you, a truly priceless gift
