  • I miss one of my best friends, Dianne Odell!

    She was more like my angel.

    I'm looking forward to a happy reunion in Heaven with her and others who have gone on before me.

    I learned so much about the love of GOD and how to love others and how to keep faith in GOD through hard times with my friend Dianne Odell.

    Phil. 4:13. I miss you my best friend. From: Cindy Clark, Brighton, TN.

  • I am sorry Diane Odell lost her life due to a power failure

    RIP Diane Odell

  • God rest her soul. What an inspiration she was.

  • Very strong woman, song is full of feeling. An inspiration.

  • @bellkyss88 Well said.

  • #OMG AWESOME ! That's sound your very good song perfect wonderfully !! COOL ! :) :) Thumbs up

  • God bless you Dianne!!! One of the TRUE saints!!!!

  • The guitarist, Tom Price has passed, too. We miss you, buddy!!

  • Comment removed

  • @revenez No she just died.

  • Lovely singing, and lovely playing. Thanks guys :)

  • Cara, cara Rosanna, come ci manchi! Il giorno che sei volata in cielo c'era tanta neve, spero che nel tuo cielo ci sia sempre tanto sole, quanto ne hai dato a noi.

  • so sad

  • I often sing this beautifully crafted tune with such meaningful lyrics when I'm alone. It took on a new and very special appeal as I watched and listened with a tear or two blurring my vision. Diane's version has a special resonance for me.

  • Yes, she is something.

  • Did you know that ACASHFAN1 was threatening to ban me, delete and block any of my further comments and prevent me from viewing anymore of her videos for defending your O'dell referral? I was told to "move along" OE ELSE!

  • I did see that. I'm sorry about that. I noticed she deletes messages that make comments she doesn't like. Oh well, I personally don't want to see any of her videos. But, I do want to thank you for defending me. I meant no disrespect to Johnny Cash. Thanks again!

  • gutted.

  • RIP Diane. You were a an inspiration to me. Good night and God bless.

  • I heard that song before..what is the name of it, if anyone knows please tell me.

  • it is actually the theme from the used-to-be hit show "Providence". unfortunately, i don't know the actual name of the song.

  • I thought the name of it was called "Here Comes the Sun". But since you told me that, I will do some research and dig more into it. Anyways, thanks for your help..

  • nope. Here comes the sun is sung by the beatles. Its a soft rock piece, unlike this ballad. both are great songs.

    RIP diane odell

  • This is a Beatles song. It's called In My Life.

  • Kudos to the fine guitar accompaniment

    CORRECT! It's a famous or maybe not so famous (since few recognized it) Beatle's song. One of my personal favourites.

    To paraphrase " Don't worry about my past loves they will always be with me in some form or another but my love for you, now, is greater..... "I LOVE YOU MORE"

    Are you a fan of the Beatles?

  • Very much so. :-)

  • What! She died?! I thought this was a joke until I did a bit more research. May this courageous woman RIP. Things happen for a reason and maybe it was her time to go, although so very tragic..May her legacy live on.

  • Diane, you are a true inspiration to me and you were extremely courageous. May you rest in peace, and God bless you. RIP.

  • I believe this is the best video on You Tube

  • whats bad is that dianne was giving a ginerater  why didnt it work ?

  • Rest in peace Diane

  • sad story but its amazing how this lady lived in this machine for over 50 years...

  • An inspiration to all of us who may have suffered some hardship in our life.

  • I saw this video a couple of months ago. when I heard of her passing I was saddened. I too have polio and on a ventilator 24/7, but was in an iron lung at 9 months old.

    Peace

  • Amazing lady! So confined by her disability, her spirit soared in her life... she is the living proof that we confine ourselves! Thanks for allowing us to listen to her!

  • Dear Wysefunction,

    You do not have to blow someone else's candle out for your light to shine. I will pray that you find Jesus before your life ends on this earth. God Blesss You and God Bless America!!! Thank you Lord Jesus for giving the world Diane Odell to inspire the best in anyone who heard her story and her testimony.

  • don't bother.

  • You are messed up dude

  • I am from Dianne's hometown, Jackson, TN,and though I did not know her personally, she had a profound impact on my life. She was a vital part of our community and she deeply touched the lives of those she met. I rejoice that today she is Dancing, Running, and Singing with the other Angels in Heaven! May God Bless her precious Parents, her Sisters and their families as they mourn the loss of the Brightest of all of Jackson's Stars!!

  • Thank you, Dianne,for the strength you gave to me all my life in my own problems from polio..for helping me to know that I"m ok, " AS IS !". What a blessing you have been to me and to our entire family. I will never forget you, your laughter and simplicity, that honesty and gracefulness. It's been an Honor.

    Truely...and I rejoice for you !

    Susan...

  • I cannot believe they had a back up system. Tragic to die this way

  • They had a backup generator, but it also failed...only the second time in all these years. Her parents are in frail health and in their 80's. BUT, her father hand cranked a generator, gave her CPR and did all he could to save her!

  • yeah. Although very tragic, her parents did everything they could, they didn't go on vacations, every waking moment was devoted to their daughter and then with her dad having alzheimers and her mom having problems, maybe it was the lord's way of letting her go..So tragic, but things happen for a reason. She lived a good life.

  • God bless u Dianne..You will be missed..:(:(

  • Wysefuntion You do know that she died just yesterday? You should be ashamed of your insensitivity!

    Rest in peace Diane...God Bless You!

  • [*]ukłon i podziw.

  • Great woman, Rest in Peace forever

  • unas verdaderas ganas de vivir. Descanse en paz. desde Saltillo, coahuila méxico

  • On a side note. I purchased an iron lung machine at yard sale one time. It still worked and I spent the next 2 years restoring it. REST IN PEACE

  • R.I.P

    from

    Norway

    I think that is best that you died, now you can rest in peace without thinking on that machine

  • God bless Dianne and her entire family. She was (IS) a true inspiration. Our prayers and condolences from Münster, Germany.

  • Matthew 25:23 .... Well done, good and faithful servant..

  • respect and love to this strong woman. Rest in peace, diane.

    Love from Norway

  • What a wonderful testimony she has been. May God comfort her family during this time.

  • truly an amazing human being. may she now achieve the freedom she was denied on earth. can't believe her story...it is so pitiable and so inspiring. a testament to her iron-will.

  • Blessings to all who knew her - warm thoughts from Oregon

  • this is so sad she has passed away today

  • You think you have it bad and then you see this. Such a tough way to live life yet such a positive outlook. RIP.

  • May you rest in peace and happy everafter in heaven.

  • Bawled my eyes out - Never knew about her and her challenged life in this world! Makes me more grateful for every breath I take! May she rest in peace ..

  • She's finally free of that machine, dancing and singing, praise Jesus!!

  • Rest in peace Diane

  • I agree. At least sh's free in heaven

  • wow,so they couldnt find her a smaller one?

  • Smaller ones don't exist.

  • How can you people be so rude!

  • I just found out today that she passed away. You were very courageous. God bless you Dianne. RIP.

  • Everytime I listen to Tom Price and Diane on this video, I cry. Today, I know that Diane is finally free and is dancing on the streets of heaven. We have all been blessed over the years by this amazing angel among us. She will be missed!

  • I agree. It was her time to go. She is in heaven with God. May god bless their family.

  • Dear Diane, now you can dance, run, and shine with Blinky in the heavens. You have made me a more compassionate person. I thank God for bringing you here to teach us love and patience.

    Bobby

  • Many condolences to the Odell family on their loss. I just found out from the news today.

  • Ms. Odell passed away due to a power outage. RIP.

  • As a young girl in Tennessee, I remember a very little girl that was in an iron lung that lived next door to my cousin in Nashville. Being that young, there is no way to realize what she was enduring; watching all the other children running thru the house and playing. I wish I could go back and talk to her. I just hope I did take the time to talk to her.

  • Your free now Diane, Rest in peace.

    I will never complain again, you are truly an inspiration.

  • please, could somebody write me her mail or something how can i contact her? i really want to write her a mail or so, but i can't find anything. thank you very much.

  • I spent a number of years sleeping in this particular iron lung at night. This is something you get used to because you have no choice but to. I know how difficult it must have been to sing though.

  • by the way where is part 2?

  • she is a courageous woman, but i realize by thinking of her, i realize i got a good life.. i mean i would rather die than live life like that, no offense. i think of all the hardships i have had in life and realize my life is not bad at all, to go outside and watch the birds, to drive a car, getting dressed,things we take for granted; We have been blessed

  • Yeah, she's been in that iron lung for more than 50 years.

  • In what way is this scary?
