I thought I could make it through without crying, but come halfway I was already in tears. Your grandfather seemed like a great man. I never got to know mine. :(
Could you please share the song? It's so beautiful.. it sounds like a slow version of "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning," but I can't find anything close to it.
This was so beautifully done. My grandpa passed away 10 years ago this coming May and he was my hero. He's my inspiration. This made me cry. Your grandfather sounded like he lead a great life with amazing people around him. Your grandfather looks like such a wonderful man. I am sincerely, deeply, sorry for your loss. RIP.
Just want to let you know you made a 19 year old dude cry lol. This is an amazing video btw, keep up the amazing work with your singing and with Miranda :) I'm sure hes more than proud and your accomplishments. Weird stuff, I felt like he was my grandpa haha. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful tribute. You are so lucky to have such wonderful memories, and the love you all share is so very touching. I'm so sorry for your loss, but rejoice for your grandpa who is now reunited with the love of his life. This is truly beautiful!!
This made me cry, I just moved to Ohio from Michigan and I haven't seen my Grandpa for a while now, He is my everything...I hope I can move on when he is gone. GREAT video!
This video truly touched me, I am so sorry for your loss Colleen and Rachel, your grandpa seemed a great man and on the bright side now he can be happily with his wife again.
I know you don't know me, Colleen and Rachel, but I am truly sorry for your loss. It's a difficult thing to lose a family member during the holiday season. Cherish the memories you have, it seems as though you had a fantastic relationship with him. May he Rest in Peace.
Colleen... Thinking of you and fam. It's a tough loss. Seems like a fantastic individual who obviously lived an excellent life and loves his family. Having walked your road before, I feel much for your pain. You're a sweet heart! Keep shining for Grampa B! Make him proud!
Omg so sad :( Colleen this video is so beautiful, thank you for sharing <3 What an amazing man who kept a beautiful family going..You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers <3 God bless
:( my grandpa passed away too, a few months ago. i can't believe he isn't there anymore.. i only have seen him every year like twice cause we live with my family in belgium and my other relatives in finland. and next time i'll go to finland (for christmas) i won't see him anymore..
My condolences hun. Pictures say 1,000 words and through these, I can feel the greatness and heart and love that was your Grandfather. This moved me to tears. And I know nothing anyone can say can truly make this any better, but I do want you to know that you are supported, and loved. And that by sharing your gifts with the world, you are making him proud every second of every day.
Okay that last part.... :( i am now crying. Literally. I know i already posted but, i just wanted to say how lucky you were the have such a great grandfather. And i know he looking down on you.
this was so beautiful. i lost my nanna this year, it can be so hard. your grandmother looked so beautiful on her wedding day and your grandfather seemed like a truly wonderful man. even though i dont you i am thinking of you and will send you prayers from across the atlantic xxx
Colleen, I've never met you but I'm truly a fan of everything you do. This tribute has got to be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. My thoughts are with you and your family. I know this is a tribute specifically for your grandpa but it also serves as a beautiful reminder, for all of us who watch it, to be truly present in the lives of our loved ones. Thank you.
Colleen. I don't know you and I live far away from you. But your spirit and courage in sharing this with the world is truly inspiring. From one human being to another my thoughts are with you and your family. Thank you for sharing. It serves as a reminder to cherish every moment we have on this earth and those who share the journey with us.
This brought tears to my eyes! Yet, the tears were out of deep admiration and respect for this man. So, I'll therefore learn from this great man what is important... "spending time with family, loving God and sharing it with others". So, as hard as this must be on your family, know that men like your Grandfather are my heros and roll models. May he rest in peace and his legacy live on forever!
This is such a beautiful video, Colleen. That is so special that you could put this together. My heart goes out to you and your family as you grieve the loss of what seemed to be a great man and pillar in your family.
Who's the heartless person who disliked this video? I'm crying. This is so sweet. ♥ Colleen, I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm sure he's very happy in heaven with his wife.
Im sooo sorry about ur family's loss Colleen!! I lost my grandma exactly a year ago its very hard losing someone so close to u and theres not a day that goes by that i dont think about her or miss her. I miss her soo much. I know ur grandpa is watching down on ur family as my grandma is doing the same. He watches over u and ur family everyday! Keep making him proud! :) u and ur family r in my thoughts.
Amazing. I lost my Grandpa back in 09, and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. Seeing this is like looking into my life. Thank you for making this...and I am very sorry for your loss.
A beautiful tribute, Colleen. I'll bet your grandpa was very proud of you. Thanks for sharing him with us. My deepest condolences to you and your whole family.
This is a truly beautiful video. Although I have never met anyone in your family, I am honored that you shared this emotional and personal video with your viewers. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
First I wanna say Im so sorry for your loss, but then I wanna say how lucky you were..Ive been watching all your videos for a while now, so I knew Grandpa, well you know in my own way, I felt like I knew him, I found myself bawling throughout the entire video, then lost it at the end.Both my grandparents are still alive 85-83 yrs old, so I myself know first hand the love for grandparents.Thank you for sharing this video... Geez, I cant express how sad I am right now..:(
Your family seems to be very well structured and full of love. It's good to know that there are still families like that out there. Thanks for managing to make me cry (esp the end).
Colleen, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother this summer as well, and it is tough to lose those people in your life just just love you unconditionally and your grandpa looked like he fit that label to a tee! What great memories you have of him singing with you, and coming on stage with Miranda! I know I will cherish the many trips that I was able to do with my active granny! My thoughts and prayers are with your family and know that you will sing together again in heaven!
Alot of people never have a special, wonderful grandpa in their lives. Thank you for sharing yours. You have my deepest condolences, and I am so glad you have so many beautiful memories to treasure.

My dad knew what was important. Spending time with family. Loving God and sharing it with others. I miss him, I'm so thankful I got to be raised by him and my mom and that I got to be with him and care for him during his final days here on earth. Looking forward to seeing them both in glory.
What a wonderful life and wonderful people. These bodies are temporary, but we are eternal. This video is a lovely tribute to your family. Thank you for sharing this with us. Bless.

This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Your grandpa seems like he was an absolutely lovely man. Thank you for sharing this, it was so touching. Your grandpa will live on through all the wonderful memories he has left behind.
That was so beautiful and touching, Colleen. Your Grandpa was a really amazing man. Now he can be with the love of his life. I'm very sorry for your loss.
This was so beautifully assembled. Even for someone who didn't know him, it was amazing to be able to see the progression of his life and feel the love in every picture or video clip. Your grandfather seemed like a wonderful person. I'm so sorry for your loss, Colleen.
Colleen -- A beautiful tribute to a fine man who leaves behind the greatest of gifts: a wonderful, loving family. Sincere condolences on your loss, but obviously Wayne's memory will live on forever.

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.
