[kingrider75]

Well done. Rip brothers.

[crazynickrocks]

That one person that disliked this video: I would like to see you do what our Coal Miners do. Go burn in hell.

[migitpoo]

May we never forget, may God bless and keep the familys of those miners who died providing a life for their families. Im a very proud west virginia girl and proud to be a coal miners daughter. Those 29 miners are walking together now with God.

@bigxbossxman As I stated up top.. this was the first video.. I made the correction in the new REVISED video.. I didn't take this one off though because of all the wonderful comments and shared memories from loved ones... I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I really did try my best on this video and still made mistakes but hopefully the Revised Video will make up for some of my mistakes. God Bless

I was working on a JOY Mining drve system that was due to ship there the day after this tragety happened. Is was gettin loaded on the trucks here at DSI formerly ACI(Abingdon VA) when we got the news. God bless our miners and the 29 souls that newer made it out of the mine that day. Let them rest in peace.

a year ago today...we are wearing our black and stripes and turining all lights off at 3pm for a minute and 29 seconds today...my uncle was on a mantripp heading under...the doors almost closed on them and the blast blew them all backwards by 20 feet...i cant begin to explain how greatfull our family is that we got so lucky that he survived by 10 seconds...my heart goes out to the 29 families that did lose and the 2 families or the survivors in the state that they r today...

[MLMDAG]

Thank you for this tribute. I didn't know them, but I grew up in Wyoming County. My Daddy was almost killed in a mine accident and my Uncle Jack died in a mine roof fall. Coal runs deep in my blood. I hope all the families know that we will NEVER forget your loss. I appreciate every coal miner. God bless y'all!

[MrChikki]

many of my friends knew or were related to Cory Davis, i cried for them when i saw his name on the screen, im not in school today, due to 22,057 power outages in Kanawha County, its very devistating, today marks one year, RIP.</3

[foxracing9143]

[missykayeallen]

As April approaches to mark the first year of unmeasurable loss for the families and friends, my heart aches for you all. I can not imagine going threw such a huge loss as this and I will not pretend to understand what you are going through. All I can say is my thoughts and prayer are with each of you and I will forever hold their names in my heart. God Bless you and give you all peace.

[liljohnlaughton]

Thoughts and prayers are with all the families

[slooob23]

Hello from New Zealand.

Today we held a National memorial service for our 29 miners killed in the Pike River mine disaster 2 weeks ago on 19 Nov. Our little town has been devastated by this tragedy and our whole country has been in mourning.

We feel your pain and understand it. This is a beautiful tribute for your men.

I will pray that your families have their pain and anguish relieved and I ask that you all pray for our families who have just begun their heartache.

May God bless you all.

[wvserena]

@slooob23 Thank you for your comment... and I am deeply saddened to hear that you have also suffered the same loss in New Zealand... I will definitely keep you all in my prayers. May you find comfort in Jesus I pray.. Amen.

Serena

[thelittlemonkey1001]

I love that thats a good video but i still miss the miners god bless

[jillmarie969]

It takes my breath away just watching this and seeing the men we lost. Its so hard to believe something this horrible could happen so close to home. It scares me everyday knowing that i have family and friends going into mines and not know if they will ever come back. = ( thank you for the video.

[jessibug91]

This video... It's absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this. My whole heart goes out to everyone who lost someone in this accident. I lost my Dad two years ago, just months after I turned 16; He was 34 and he was a miner....It was absolutely devastating...This tribute was absolutely wonderful, and it should make West Virgina proud.

[isaaccombs1]

my uncle Dewart Scott was killed in that i loved him 2 death

[Johncarson9113]

If tears could build a stairway,

And memories a lane,

I'd walk right up to Heaven

And bring you home again.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

R.I.P to all, "you will all be forever in our thoughts, no memory is left astray, the life you once had may have gone but the memory you leave behind will forever follow me."

[Jodi2244]

R.I.P uncle bobby& uncle peewee. god bless you.

[1Cutlip]

Support our miners!!!!!!!!!!!!! They make America go.

[mastercon310]

[coalminerswoman90]

This is the most amazing video ever! I truly do love it you don't know the worries that are truly there till you date a coal miner till you are with one and watch him walk out that front door every morning after something like this happens. Thank you for making this! Its so wonderful.

[wvserena]

May we never forget these 29 great men and forever hold them in our hearts... May each of us hold their families in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers... This Tribute to them and their families is wounderful, very touching in so many ways... I knew a few of these men and it affects me personally...

[Kingofmean]

dewey persinger..love ya brother

[wde74001]

Serena...The videos are wonderful, even if they do make me cry. I am so proud of you for doing this.

[wvserena]

@wde74001 Thank You so much.... that means a lot to me... this is a small thing to do for these miners families but I am happy to do it, just the same.

I wish there was more I could do.

[wvserena]

Guys I had too many mistakes on this video.. so I made a REVISED copy of it on youtube.. I HOPE that takes care of all the mistakes...if not let me know ~Serena

[kooterpoots]

THats ok Serena....Not your fault..I am honored to take up for our men.Whatever ignorant comment they write,If I see it I will give it right back to them.Ofcoarse people like that only have guts when they are online in the real world they are cowards....Thanks for your tribute videos.I just watch it over and over until I get out all the crying I can..

[kooterpoots]

RiverMpls...So Glad you live so frugally.Wish your mouth was as frugal as your mind.If those men didnt go into those coal mines and work you wouldnt have lights, power or this computer you are using ..Yes they are wanting to make money for their family but they are brave reguardless....My cousin and alot of people we knew died in there so Im speaking on behalf of them.

[wvserena]

@kooterpoots He was an idiot I deleted his/her comment.. we have no time to read such idiotic garbage.... Like I said in the video... OUTSIDERS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND OUR WAY OF LIFE!!! I hope and pray the rest of the miners families did not see that comment. So sorry you saw it Ginny.

[pamgood1]

Thank you Serena. This was a wonderful tribute. I grew up in Oceana, my dad worked in the mine for 30 years. I now live in FL, but my heart will always be at home. I didn't know any of the miners personally, but everyone knows that it is like one big family. My heart aches for the families of these brave men. I will continue to keep them in my prayers.

[SexCyberGuideCom]

i love this

[wvserena]

@RiverMpls I thought I deleted your comment once ALREADY? We really don't need this kind of negativity right now... TWENTY NINE MEN lost their life in that coal mine and if you felt for them and their families you would not make such remarks. I do not appreciate your cursing either... I hope and pray you never have to go through the pain these folks have endured.... THINK before you post.

[MrChevytruckfamily]

this is a wonderful video i worked with everyone of these men and i truely miss them all so much..

[brianpsullivan]

Serena, you did a wonderful job on this. You should be very proud. Thank you very much :O)

[wvserena]

@wlr3r so sorry I had a long list of names that I took from many diff sources family friends obittuaries.. ect... so sorry about that...

[wvserena]

@wlr3r I posted a bubble on the video with his name spelled right for viewers and if I make copies of the cd on my computer I will fix the spelling before burning the CD for the families GOD BLESS!! Thanks for putting it to my attention.

[amytownsell]

My sister watched this, and said she was going home to 'make up' with her husband.

[wvserena]

@amytownsell awee that is so sweet..

[unicornfan6]

This is a wonderful Tribute Serena, Thank you.. I grew up in Pinch and while I didn't personally know any of the fallen miners, my heart aches for their families and friends. May God Bless and Keep Them in His Care, giving them comfort in their time of sorrow and strength to endure the days, weeks, months and years ahead.

[wvserena]

@unicornfan6 that was beautiful what you wrote.. yes we know the only one who can give the kind of comfort those families need is JESUS! Amen!

[amytownsell]

This is a beautiful tribute to the coal miners who perished in the U.B.B. mines. You did an AWESOME job on this, Serena!! ☺ You put your heart in it and it shows. It brought tears to my eyes to know that this could be MY loved one. You said it right - they are a band of brothers, united forever. My heart goes out to the families of these 29 brave men who sacrificed their lives for the sake of many. They are gone, but not forgotten. May they rest in peace...

[wvserena]

@amytownsell Thank You Amy, I know your coal miners in Kentucky are the same way.... West Virginia if anyone can relate to us.... it would be our neighbor KENTUCKY!!!!! love you Ames

[amytownsell]

@wvserena ☺ Love you too, girl... ♥

P.S... AWESOME song choice... perfect!
