An Appalachian Love Story 

52 years is like yesterday. Love you granny!

Awe, bless her heart. She's such a sweetie!

Precious, just precious. She seems so devoted to her late husband. She is very beautiful. I can tell she is a Godly lady.

She's a "My cup runneth over" kind of lady!!! A fine example of gratitude!

Well she is just the most precious jewel ever!! What a lovely story. What a Homecoming that will be some day.

What a sweet story! Jerry was one of the finest men I've ever known. He adored Evelyn and she adored him. It was a pleasure to see.

This beautiful soul deserves the rarest of jewels.

“Mama pitched a fit”....ohhh how precious she is! Absolutely a beautiful love story! Blessings🙏🏻💖

Your dad, Jerry, couldn’t ask for a better legacy than the love story your mom shared. To say how thankful to God for them meeting, and how good he was to everyone. She also said the Lord really blessed her with Jerry. Wow. That’s a beautiful love story.

You are blessed to have your sweet mother to still be able to tell stories and memories from the past. What a wonderful love story.

SHE IS A PRECIOUS LADY,IT BREAKS MY HEART TO HEAR HER TALK ABOUT HIM AND HOW MUCH SHE MISSES HIM.I COULD LISTEN TO HER TALK ALL DAY,YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE A MAMA LIKE HER.GOD BLESS HER

Thank you for sharing your sweet Mama with us. This is a precious story

We will be needing more stories from Granny.....

She is just too precious❣️ Your girls look like you, and you look like your momma❣️💞

Jerry knew he better get a ring on her finger, I bet he thought she was the prettiest thing he’d ever seen too!

What a touching love story for Valentine's Day.

Tipper, I hadn't realized how much your mother and I have in common. I am 80, widowed, and was married to my dear husband for 52 years. What a wonderful love story she tells. Bless you, Granny and all your family.

What a wonderful story.

Wow - the resemblance between the granddaughters and grandmother is incredible!

That pic of Granny with her mother is Katie all day long! Love the love story, so sweet. ❤

The girls look just like Granny when she was young. All three are rockstars!

Beautiful memories of love.

What a precious lady And a loving story Wonderful Valentine story, xoxoxo

Imagine 52 years of Trustworthy Companionship. That's a Miracle anymore. My Mama and Daddy were married 15 yrs when my Daddy died in 1973. Mama was a Widow for 39 years waitin' to go home to Daddy. True Love is Eternal. May God continue to Bless you Dear Lady ❤️.

Words can't Express the love they had💕

Such a sweet love story. In one of her younger pictures I saw a resemblance to Corie and Katie.

Bless her heart. She was a rebel, goin off and getting married without her mama knowing. She is so sweet. I wish I could sit and talk with her. She reminds me so much of my family. I loved hearing their stories too. Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful recollection of a meeting that might have never happened but seems to almost have been predestined. What a blessing to be left with beautiful memories when somebody leaves us. Thanks again for sharing these memories with us - it sort of makes me feel like we're neighbors, even if only internet neighbors.

There's not many women around like that anymore with simple wants and needs.I'm happy her story turned out like it did. Thank you and God Bless

Granny is such a sweet woman

So wonderful to hear her story and how sweet they loved each other so much. What a lovely lady.

I think that is one of the sweetest love story's I've ever heard,because it's not something that's been made up...it's real. I just love your Mother. She's an Angel.

What a blessing! A mother and father loving their home and family for fifty- two years.

What a beautiful story and memories.

What a precious story 🥺 my mother-in-law married at 16 and has now been married for 51 years. My husband and I have been together for about 17 years now and I look forward to telling these kinds of stories to our 2 daughters and their children in the future. Thank you for sharing this! It brightened my day.

I feel like the Lord blessed me just by watching this. Thanks for sharing.

Granny is about as precious as can possibly be. As She said,, if she hadn't gotten home sick and got back home,,would have never met Mr Jerry. Wish every human being on the planet had the kind heart Granny has. ,World would be a much better place for sure. Tell Granny Thank You for sharing her 'love story".

What a truly beautiful lady. I remember homesickness well, and it is like a sickness of the spirit.

What a beautiful story, and what a precious woman! Thank you for sharing this with us. 🥲

What a Lovely Lady. Very few young people today will ever experience the type of Love and respect that this Lady is speaking of and it's sad.

This is such a sweet loving love story. ♥️ Tipper you favor your mama when she was a young woman and your daddy was a good looking man. Love your mama she’s a sweet precious lady.

What a wonderful story. I, too, had a precious husband for 54 years, & like your mama, I miss him every day. The memories are a balm & our kids, grands & greats are a blessing. She is a precious lady & her story is touching! God bless her & you. Love and prayers ❤😊

Granny is so lovely, with her pretty white hair. What a wonderful love story! And what a treasure for future generations of your family, to have this recorded. I really enjoyed seeing the photos of granny and pap when they were young as well.

This reminds me of my late mom and dad telling stories to us growing up!!! This is what the world needs more of!!! GOD AND FAMILY!!!!🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼🥰

Oh man... brought tears to my eyes... I can feel her sadness from losing him. Such a beautiful woman!

I got married at 18 because my husband was off in the military and i missed him so much. I still remember being terrified to tell my parents we had decided to get married and I would moving across the country. We're still together 32 yrs later. Watching this lovely lady talk about her husband warmed my heart. 💜

Oh my God. What a testament to their love that she would still thank God that they had met after all these years. I sat here and cried because that woman was missing her husband. That's a wonderful love story. Thank you for posting it. It gives me hope in life. I saw so much of the girls in her younger picture. What a sweet lady

She’s a sweet precious woman I appreciate her sharing her story with us ❤️ she’s a treasure.🙏🏾

Dear sweet Granny... Thank you for sharing your beautiful love story . You all are such beautiful women. I can see Corie & Katie in you and Tipper. God bless you and keep you.🤗🥰🙏🌷

Even though this video is a year old, I just came across it. Your mother is so precious. And I loved hearing hers and Jerry's story of meeting and getting married. It is somewhat similar to my story. My boyfriend had gone into the service and came home on leave. We went and got our license with the intention of getting married the next week, but upon seeing a justice of the peace office, he turned in and said we've waited long enough, so get married, we did. We were married 54 years when the Lord took him home, almost two yrs ago and I, too, miss him so very much. I thank you, Tippa, for sharing your sweet mother and her story with us. Give her a hug for me

Such a sweet love story. I'm crying for her happiness to have such a wonderful husband and life. ♥️👩‍🦳🌺

Your mother is precious I enjoyed that story of your dad and how they met

She’s such a sweet lady...I loved hearing her talk about the way she & your daddy met....Precious memories for sure! Brenda

I lost my mom when I was 12 and my mawmaw in early 1990. I wish I could hear their stories now. When I lost them I lost a part of my own history. I love this story. Beautiful lady.🐱🌼❤

That is so wonderful! My parents met when she was waiting tables. She had worked in woodworking factory while men were in WWII. My dad who had just come back from Guam where he had been stationed with The Fighting CeeBees US Navy. As she was taking his order, he asked her out for dinner & a movie. Thinking he probably forgot, she stood at the bus stop to take bus home. Suddenly he was standing right behind her & asked if she was ready to go out for the evening! They, like granny & Papp, dated for three months & got married! They were married for 51 yrs when The Lord called daddy home! That was the hardest time of my life as he was my hero! It was easier losing mom for two reasons-she had Alzheimer’s & the fact she was without dad! It only seemed right they were once again together❤️ When dad came back from the war, he went back to his place of employment which happened to be the woodworking factory that mom had worked in during the war! Dad worked there 48 yrs until his heart attacked him.

What a precious love story. And in the picture of your mom with her mom, it is like looking at Katie!! Wow!! What a strong resemblance Katie has to her Granny when her Granny was young!! ♥️🥰♥️

So sweet, makes me smile to hear her story. Not many people can stay in love for 52 years, and still be in love after one has passed. 💒

Oh my gosh, this brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful love story. True love. Two beautiful souls. Granny is so sweet. She is a blessing.❤️

What an awesome story, you can tell she really loved your daddy, they seemed to definitely be SOULMATES. It’s such a blessing for you to still have her to share these special memories with y’all and with us. 52 years of marriage that’s something to be proud of for sure!! Thanks for sharing her with us. GOD Bless Y’all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you for sharing and apples don’t fall too far from the tree.

May God Bless your sweet mother, enjoy your time with her.

Oh bless her heart !! She is precious!! She probably knows he is still with her, when you love like that , people die but they do not leave us. May she be blessed with the knowing he is with her always . ❤️❤️❤️💯

Such a precious story about the love of her life. Thank you Tipper for sharing. My husband and I, his name is Jerry also, have been married 53 years. It seems like it’s flown by. Only the Lord know the number of our days. He still works very hard. Thank you again for sharing this beautiful love story.❤️

What a lovely story. I feel in my heart she will be with Jerry again (hopefully a long time from now) in the sweet by and by. Thank you so much for sharing.

I cried listening to this. Thank you for preserving your heritage and sharing it with us. I'm Southern but only had little experience in true Appalachia and y'all are the nicest people we've got in the States. God bless your entire family

What a precious lady. Beautiful love story. That's what marriage is suppose be. A love that will stand the test of time. You have really touched my heart.

52 years,almost unheard of nowadays.What a happy life she has had,God has truly blessed her!!

Serendipity ❤️ Puts down handkerchief and thinks, “ Where’s that ‘55 right now?” Your Mother’s an absolute treasure. Preservation of the stories and the ways is so very important. My Mom had five sisters, growing up in the Willamette valley in the ‘20’s-‘30’s. Takes me back…🥲

Such a beautiful love story, two hearts brought together by God. Love is the only thread death cannot break.

What a beautiful love story. I can truly feel the love that Granny & Jerry had for each other all those 52 years. Hugs!

my husband is in Heaven and I know how she feels .I feel the same way about my husband and my husband was good to people. and a good husband.

I lived in Haywood county for 20 years, I lived in the back of the hills. I lived where moonshine was made.. I truly loved the area, the people were true. My grandmother was full of stories of the Appalachia stories and I always loved hearing her stories. My grandmother truly lived off the land and what the area had to offer. My grandmother made a living off of selling her honey and apples, grandfather had died before I was born.. Grandmother is gone, but sure do miss her stories.. Love them why you have them.. Oh and my granny also did sewing.. To some that might seem a rough life, but not too my grandmother...Blessings to all.

What a beautiful love story and what a testimony of God's great love.

Such a beautiful story. She’s precious! Thank you for sharing your Mom with us.

Every young person should listen to this true love story. You can hear her love for him and how much she misses him.

Such a beautiful lady telling a wonderful story Thank You for this love from Ireland ☘️☘️☘️

What a loving tribute to your parents' wonderful, long marriage! I wish all couples loved each other so unconditionally and deeply. Please "interview" your lovely Mother again soon and let her share more about her earlier years as a new wife. She is a jewel.

This brought me to tears.

God bless her. God bless Jerry. God bless Momma and God bless You.

What a sweet story thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story of a life well loved. God bless you!

I love listening to this . It brought tears to my eyes . But happy tears.

Such wonderful parents. The reason you've become my favorite RU-vidr is because you are so open and genuine. Keep up the great work!

What a wonderful and beautiful story! The love you still see for her husband is so sweet! Thank you for sharing this moment!

I don't know how I came across this, but how precious of a story. Reminds me of some of my grandmother's and mom's accounts of falling in love and life-long marriages, walking with the Lord in His tender mercy.

Such a pleasure and a blessing to watch this video. God bless this fine woman. Thank you for sharing.

How sweet her story was !! Her Jerry is waiting on her with the Lord and what a beautiful reunion that will be .

I now know where you get your love for family and Appalachia! God did send Granny, Pap. Such a blessing; it made me cry. I watched it three times. I know you lost a piece of your heart, also, the day he passed. Thank you for sharing their life, yours and others. It means a lot.

Such a blessing to have her spoken words and feelings and memories recorded. Such a blessing. Wishing I had done that with my family ... 😔

You are so blessed, to live in gods nature, and having your mother telling this story is so sweet... thank you for sharing.

What a precious testimony of family and lives worth living. Thanks for letting me hear it...
