The Letter

[vbeachy]

I am putting this on my main page as a featured video because of the date. Four years ago (on June 2nd, 2006) Melinda passed away. She will always be in my heart.

[BonelessSausage]

I can't finish this video. Too powerful right now. I am buying the CD and don't want to cry everytime I hear it. Bless You, Ed

[vbeachy]

Thanks, Ed, the memories and feelings are very powerful and I cry everytime I hear the song and when I view the video. God Bless you

[hemlockwood]

Thank you for sharing a part of your life. A very beautiful lady. Many happy memories I am sure. I hope your MS is stable. Take care.

[vbeachy]

Thank you. Yes, Melinda is a very, very beautiful woman and soon I hope to have her letter in a published book.

Thank You

[honeyspur]

Amazing - thank you so much......

[vbeachy]

Thank you!

[bevaneachy]

This video never fails to deliver(no pun intended).

[vbeachy]

Melinda was an absolutely beautiful person. Thanks. At a time when my MS was progressing quickly, she lost her job (and health insurance) and she hung herself late that night.

[lizzy890]

I've seen this video before..and I am sorry for your loss, I apologize for such an inappropriate question, but what happened to this beautiful person?

[lizzy890]

this is very beautiful. she was a beautiful woman.

[vbeachy]

Melinda was, indeed, a very beautiful woman.

[blondehell28]

THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH.

[vbeachy]

Thank you.

[vbeachy]

Thank you! It is called "A Tear-Stained Letter"

[vbeachy]

Thank you very much! Yes, I feel Melinda is smiling down on me.

[ashtonsgirlh]

This song is so beautiful and means so much to so many people including myself. I think what you are doing is beautiful and what a fitting song. may you be blessed!

[vbeachy]

Thank you so much!

[bevaneachy]

All I have to say is, that she is soooo cool. She is great! Love her!! God Bless you,Vern! May you find another Mel. Bless you! Love you, Man.

Evan

[vbeachy]

Wow...thanks Bro!

[bevaneachy]

oohh,wow. Can't judge a life by the traffic you come across everyday. There's simply more to it than the man in the car next to you. There's more than just the people you touch with your day.

[bucks932]

Your tribute and song brought me to tears. How much you loved Melinda!!! How fortunate she was to have you. Best Wishes and Love from Pattie in Michigan

[vbeachy]

I, too, was very fortunate to have Melinda! Thank you Pattie.

[bucks932]

I have to thank you for the reply. I didn't expect it. I was having a somewhat "bad" day at work, took a lunch break to look at a video, and was looking for the video that goes with that song and yours came up. After looking at it, crying, I started to think that my day wasn't all that "bad" after all. I can imagine you miss your love very much. That must be very hard. Take care, Pattie

[zimecterin]

I am a young man just atarting a relationship and I was touched by this tribute I think as young people now a days we do not think of growing old with our mates rather then the here and now I take this aspect into more consideration after seeing this your tribute brings me to tears everytime I view it Thankyou for showing me longterm love rather then short term lust.My thoughts and and cares are with u God Bless.

-Mike-

[vbeachy]

[acosmotea]

You are welcome! I thank you for posting this video, I watch it often and have it favorited on Youtube just to remember the precious true love I am grateful for having and I am so moved by what you two shared. I sincerely mean this. Bless you today and always.

[billypinard]

One of the most heartfelt showings of love and

sadness I have ever seen and heard. I just became engaged and I will use this Vbeachy as a

reminder and a blueprint for what I can only hope, dream and work real hard at to share with my future wife. God Bless, Thankyou.

[vbeachy]

I am humbled by your comments. I hope you find in your wife what I found in Melinda.

God bless!

[vbeachy]

what a very nice compliment. Bless you both too.

Be very grateful for your wife. I was, but I'll always feel I could've done so much more.

[determined2win]

[Femail40]

Dear Sir,

She's read the letter. And so have we.

Thank you.

[vbeachy]

Thank you.

[rusalkadniprova]

So much love in these photos. You're lucky to have been with Melinda. My guess is she'll be in your heart forever.

Thanks for the lovely video. Be well.

Roxy

[vbeachy]

Thank you, Roxy...yes, Melinda will always be in my heart.

[beltanebelle]

My love goes out to you at this difficult time. Page and Plant recorded this a few years back on their 'walking in memphis' album.I love that version, but I love this version too. This is a beautiful song.xxxx

[beltanebelle]

p.s) The other album is 'Walking in Clarksdale' not Memphis OOOoops!

[vbeachy]

What a great comment, Thanks. Melinda made it very easy to love...everything.

[inindian]

Thanks Vern. My condolences. Fantastic. Continue to take joy in Melinda's memory, as I know you do. We all need to stop and give a little time in thanks for the love we get and get to give in our lives. Peace bro;)

[vbeachy]

Yes...stop and smell the wonderful roses all around.

[vbeachy]

Thank you so very much for your comments. Yes, I will always love Melinda very much. I, too, hope that she was able to find the peace that she so richly deserves.

[Flemminggroen]

Photos of happiness and joy and in contrast the tombstone....very touching!!!

Hoping that you will soon find happiness again!!

Hi from the UK vbeachy,

So sorry for your loss, lost my mother to cancer not so long ago, was with her right to the end.

Always loved Led Zepp' and Roberts solo and collaborative work with other artists.

Love this track, moved me to tears with your video montage.

Keep strong and remember the good times you had together.

Take care.

[vbeachy]

Thank you. Melinda and I had many, many good times together and it is those memories which I will forever cherish.

a beautiful song and a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady

[kscanlonjr]

it's not a new song, Robert Plant released it a few years ago, but their version is pretty good.
