The Farm Will Never Be The Same 

My condolences to you and your family on the loss of Papa Curt.

That was beautiful. No man could want a better tribute to his life than a grandchild being able to make such a video.

Rest in Peace Papa Curt. I am so sorry for your loss but I hope you can take some small comfort in knowing you honor his legacy every day of your life.

I'm a 65 year old farmer who's had trouble crying for several years. I cried throughout the video. I've missed that. The harder the grief is just a testament of your love . Has to be your best video. I like your character and integrity. All my best

I met Curt at a pole vault event in Aurora. I was wearing my AKRS John Deere shirt and we struck up a conversation. He asked me if I'd heard about his optimistic granddaughter Laura. I had not and he proudly told me about you and your You Tube channel Laura Farms. I've been watching your videos ever since. He was a great guy and will be missed!

Don’t know how you pulled that off Laura without balling all the way through this video. I’m a 70 year old man that has been following your channel for close to two years. I couldn’t stop crying the whole way. Sending my prayers for your family.

I am a grandfather also. Let me assure you that there are an extremely few events in a man’s life that are anywhere close to having your granddaughter give you a hug and say I love you! You have done well.

THE Kind of Grandpa that you will never forget!!!

Hey Laura. I am messaging from New Zealand 🇳🇿 I love all your posts here but never comment, this one really hit home with me. I felt your pain and loss, and send prayers and comfort to all your family in this time of sorrow. Your videos make me feel like part of your family and I have come to love your Papa Curt from the times he has featured, he reminds me so much of my own Papa who was very similar, he came through hard times as well. The "old shop" is just like my Papa's workshop, so much saved for the time it may be needed. You will find a lot of joy and comfort in the memories and things you see in the old shop, but there will be times when something you see or remember just hits you unexpectedly and the tears come again. But the great memories do long outlast the grief you feel, the sorrow will turn to joy, I promise. I am forever thankful to Papa Curt ,and all the veterans, for his service to ensure freedom for Americans and also for us New Zealanders as well.🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you so much for sharing this video with us all. God bless you and thank you for sharing your faith, and for Papa Curt, I do know where I am going when I die and look forward to meeting you there. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

We love you girl! Stay strong. Know your grandpa is sitting up in heaven smiling down on you. You’ve made him and will continue to make him proud.

Laura, what a beautiful and heart felt memorial for your papa. I usually keep control of my emotions but I have not cried so hard for you and your family. I doubt that you will read this for the thousands of condolences you will receive. Thank you for opening your life to us. You are indeed a remarkable woman. I will always keep you and your family in my prayers.

Your Grandpa came from the best generation ever in America. Reminds me of my own Grandpa, blind in one eye, but still able to hit a ten ring at 300 yards. owned the fastest car available in 1953, and provided dental services to anyone in town regardless of ability to pay. I guess they ate a lot of chicken, which was a bit of a luxury in the day. I learned SO much from him, things I still use today. The most important is empathy, you never know what the other person is going through. Thanks for the heartfelt video, brings a little bit of my Grandpa back to me.

It hurts to see you in pain when you've been such a bright light, all the best to you and your family.

I know how difficult this was for you to share. Thank you. It was a huge tribute to your Grandpa and spoke volumes about him, his family and his legacy. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers over the coming months. Your midwestern resilience and care shines through everything you do. You take care, I’m sure your “camera man” will always have your back ...

That was the nicest tribute to your grandfather. Prayers to you & your family during this difficult time.

I’m so sorry for your loss. He was obviously one of the greats! His legacy lives on through you and in your ground.

Laura, You reduced me to tears with your loving tribute to your Papa Curt. My deepest sympathy to you and the entire family. Your grandparents are my generation. I’m 72 and my husband turns 75 on your B’day, May 11. I first came across your RU-vid channel a couple of months ago while recovering from hip replacement surgery. While I do not have a farming background I spent many wonderful hours on my grandparents farm growing up as a child in the 50’s and 60’s. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Best wishes to you and Grant as you begin your farming journey together.

I lost my father and it was so hard. God bless you Laura. Ill pray for you and Grant and your family. Condolences to all.

Signing Off - This is Grandpa. What a fitting closure to such an emotional video. Condolences from my family to yours in these sad times. You are a testament to how great a man he truly was.

65 yr old farm kid Cornhusker from Scottsbluff. 77 HS Gard. UNL 70-83. Flew fast jets in the AF. Big jets for Delta. I did well because my Dad taught me to drive a tractor at age 8. Fed cattle, shoveled crap. Silage galore. Sugar beets. Beans. Alfalfa. Hauled 1,000s of bails of hay. My success was because of all that I learned from G Pa’s and Dad. I cried watching this video. God Bless you and your husband And everyone who made a comments below. I’m a proud Husker I’m so sorry for your loss of Papa Kurt.

What an amazing thing to be born and die on the land you care for. There's nothing more I could wish for than to be that connected to the land. And then there's you, continuing the tradition, but doing it in your own style with the social media dimension to it. All around, you're honored by where you are and what you're doing. Nice job, Laura.

As a two tour Vietnam Veteran (66&71), I can appreciate your Papa's need to farm when he returned to "the World." He probably helped to construct many of the buildings and facilities I saw or used during the two tours. The SEEBEES are a great group that built many projects that may still be standing, today. A hearty SALUTE to your Papa's memory and legacy during his time on Earth. You were very lucky and privileged to be able to work with him and gain knowledge of his many years farming and in construction. Your resilience as a farmer will be rewarded over the years.

I have always been taught that a person’s worth is not in the material “things” we acquire; but rather in the lives we touch for the better. Judging by your Dad and you, your Grandfather brought more value to this world than 99% of people who have ever lived. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to him and for sharing it with your RU-vid “family”. Please know that my family and I will be keeping you and yours in our thoughts and prayers. We who are left behind feel the sadness of our loss; but just think of the joy in the reunion he is having with those who have gone before. Hold tight to your faith - you will see him again in the celestial home that has prepared for each of us.

I lost my mother 7 years ago Thanksgiving weekend. She was an amazing lady, I miss her everyday but I praise her everyday she gave so much to my family. You will never forget but will live in your heart for ever. Sorry for your loss Blessings

Your character is one that we need more of in this world. Know you can carry Papa Curts legacy, and it’ll be shared with the entire world. He’s damn proud of you, and so are we.

Long time viewer and lurker. Not sure if I've commented before but I was moved to do so today. Condolences to your family. When you said Papa Curt not only gave you land but gave you one of the best pieces of land set my teary eyes to Niagra Falls. I am sure it was that love filled decision that has blessed your farming journey thus far and most certainly gave your Papa Curt such pride to see you become Laura Farms. ♥️

I am so sorry for your loss. You gave a beautiful tribute to your grandpa and let us all see what a truly wonderful man he was.

You did a good job memorializing your loving grandfather. You’ll never have any regrets if you live the rest of your life as he would have.

I think I speak for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people; we love you back Laura. Your family is awesome and I am sad to hear of your loss. In another way, happy that your life was shared with Papa Curt, and his with you. As I write this video is at 60K views. I bet it's close to double that number in weepy eyes, mine included.

I'm so happy you have video recordings to visit when you feel him around and you will. A smell, a breeze, A familiar sunset and he will be with you.

My condolences. Its hard losing a loved one. I honestly cried right along with you Laura!! Very evident how much you truly loved your Grandfather!!

Deepest condolences from my wife and I, two old retired Navy Chiefs. My wife was a SEABEE when she retired , your grandfather was part of the Navy Family also. You and your family are in our thought and prayers.

What a loving tribute to your Papa Curt. I talked to your Grandma Carla in September. We were classmates way back then. I'm so sorry for your families loss of such a kind and loving man. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I know he's in heaven watching over all of you. May God bless you all.

What a beautiful and heartfelt tribute. My condolences and prayers to you and your family. Please take comfort in the love and knowledge he gave to you. Thank you for sharing your feelings, family, faith and farming with all of us.

I am so sorry for your loss, keep a hold of the good memories. And Grant if you read this, give Laura a big hug. And lastly take as long as you need we will be here when you’re ready ❤

Laura, you couldn't have done better honoring your grandpa. I am sure you brought a lot of joy to his life. Yes, you sorrow, but not like those who have no hope. He'll be waiting for you... God bless you & your family.

R.I.P Papa Curt may prayers go to you all ❤🙏

We grieve your loss with you. “Tough times… they don’t last. Tough people… they last” He sounds like he was the embodiment of that quote. May he Rest in Peace.

So sorry for your loss Laura... this tribute to your Papa Curt was truly heart-wrenching... I'm glad you shared his life with us. Sending prayers for you and your family to offer you some peace 🙏🙏🙏

Great tribute, my daughter never knew my father and I believe she would have had the same relationship as you had with your grandfather. God bless

I’m sorry for your loss. We will keep your family in our prayers. I’m sure that seeing your success as a farmer and knowing that you are following in your grandpa’s footsteps also brought him great comfort and joy.

Such a beautiful tribute to Papa Curt. Well done Laura.

Thank you for sharing both the Gospel and your life with Papa Curt. He obviously meant the world to you. I very much enjoy your videos!!!

You just made this old cowboy shed some tears, your grandpa was a great man & I wish I would have met him on earth bc I think we would have been great friends. I look forward to farming with him in Heaven

Incredibly sweet, Laura. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your Papa Curt and the special love you shared with one another. He rejoices in Heaven and lives on through you!

Sorry for your loss Laura! A truly great man is hard to lose and he will want you to carry on with honor, peace and happiness. He knew what you loved and wanted you to experience it with all his love.

What a great honor to have your granddaughter produce such a wonderful tribute. Speaks volumes of the man he was! Prayers going up for you and the family.

Dear Laura. my heart goes out to you and your family, I am feeling your pain and heartaches with you. My father passed away on Veterans day back in Nov, he was battling Lewy body dementia and unfortunatley took its toll. I know what its like to lose a such a pillar of a man in your life. The pain is real and I have to say it is never easy to see all of the little things in remembering of our loved onesthat makes us cry and laugh, but the joy of knowing he is with God now, and that we will see each other again one day is the greatest. I know your grandfather worked hard all his life and loved his family to provide for, better there lives and to give back what God gave him. I have watched you and your family grow as a family through your channel, and to see your grandfather from time to time helping you and mentoring you to be the best that you can be. We will miss our loved ones, this is true, and it hurts deep inside. Just know that Papa Curt like my father are looking down and watching over us now, as one of Gods Angels. Remember the good times, always share the word of God, and never stop loving. Keep your chin up, and keep those pliars oiled and on your hip. Love and Big hugs from Ohio Scott

Laura.... so sorry to hear the loss of youre Papa Curt... Grandpa's * Grandma's are so special... we will keep you * your family in our PRAYERS.... God bless

Condolences laura on your family’s loss. We’re proud of you for making this incredibly tough video

Your Papa Kurt was a big constructor of the World. My condolences and God bless you, May you hace great strength, he is with you from Heaven.From Canary Island.

What a wonderful tribute video to your Grandpa.

What a wonderful tribute to you grandfather. The memory of the just is blessed. Proverbs 10:7. I am a Vietnam veteran and remember the SeaBees when I was there. My dad was a Navy SeaBee during WWII in the South Pacific, building roads and airstrips. I'm glad to say that my father was a believer, and so am I, 2 Timothy 1:12 My life verse." God will wipe all tears from their eyes and there will be no more death". Revelations 21:3 Isaiah 25:8 "Soon and very soon we are going to see the King", and Papa Curt.

This is a video that speaks volumes of what America needs. Love, life, and family. I know where your coming from and only time will heal. God bless your heart, you are a precious person.

sorry for loss I will be praying for family

Your video channel is a "Masterclass" in humanity, the rural farm life, and the USA. Papa Curt's descendants shine on. Thank you from Iowa.

So sorry for your family's loss. Continued prayers. What a great husband/man/father/grandfather......

Tremendous tribute. Your grandpa shared so much with you. I know this harvest season has been a struggle for your whole family. Fortunately, we know who holds the future.

I did not sin today by listening to you speak about our faith .Your grandfathers legacy lives on. God bless you and yours.

Grandparents are very special. They are ‘super-parents’. Now I am s grandparent snd it is a great feeling. Keep up the good work. It’s a nice channel to watch. Very interesting znd motivational. Thoughts to you from Australia.

You must have made him so proud. You’re a shining example of his legacy. ❤😢❤😊

How lucky he was to see you grown and building a wonderful future. That’s all we can ask (as a grandparent myself) that we live long enough for the next generation to carry us in their memories. Lovely tribute and he lives on in you.

Dear Laura and family, I am 74 years old and my grandfather bought a farm for us in 1952. My Dad farmed our small farm for many years and has remained in the family to this day, Every time I walk the farm among the buildings and fields, it brings back memories and stories with our land, It is my prayer that I can once again help with the farm ai the time of my passing, You touched my heart< BTW I have a pair of pliers from my Dad. God bless you and your family there

I am so truly sorry for the loss of your grandfather. You have a wonderful channel and you are amazing person to be able to open up and share your life with everybody. You have truly touched many many people.

Such a beautiful tribute to your Grandfather. I'm so sorry for your family's loss Laura. 😢

Nothing beats the unconditional love and support from a grandfather. Heartbroken for your loss, you have such amazing memories with Papa Curt, cherish those forever and make him proud! Rest easy sir

I am so sorry for your loss of Papa Curt. He must have been so proud of you. Thank you for finding the strength to share this beautiful tribute to his wonderful life.

The whole video I was doing my best not to break but the ending got me choked up….choked up bad. I’m 30 yrs old and I never met any of my grandparents from either side being an immigrant and my parents not having the money to fly us there nor was there FaceTime at the time but it got to me because I see how much my 6 year old daughter loves my dad and follows him around while he’s doing ranch work. He loves her to bits, and he secretly gives her a candy bar or sneaky sips of soda that her mother and I don’t agree on her having all the time but when she’s around my dad she looks to see where I’m at and when I’m outside or gone out for a second she’ll ask my dad for sweets 😂 …. I saw my dad through my little daughter’s eyes and I figured that’s how Laura feels. I’m sorry for your loss but I’m glad heaven gained a soldier. He has transcended as we all will but the beautiful memories will always stay. Love and light to all. ❤

I shed tears watching the video the love for your grandpa and the family unit is evident and special. You can be assured that I will be praying for you, and in your time I'll look forward to the next video. I love you guys!

sorry for your loss Laura.may he rest in peace. praying for you 🙏🙏🙏

Being a Navy vet myself, much respect to him and you for honoring him the way you have. He sounds like a good man. Prayers to you and your family.

You got this girl, make him proud

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I’m sure he is over the moon proud of you.

What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your grandpa and his legacy through you. My deepest condolences to you and your family, especially your grandma and dad. May Granpa Curt forever rest in the palm of His hand.

There are no words to express the sorrow I have for you and your family with the loss of your Grandfather. The tribute you presented was heartfelt and very touching. I have followed you in your farming journey for a couple of years and can honestly see the influence he had on you. I feel like I knew him. The loss of someone so close is never easy but your dedication will give you the motivation to continue. I can say all of your followers love you and Grant. God Bless.

What a beautiful tribute, if you did not shed a tear watching that you are incapable. Laura you are a bright spot for all of us.

As soon as I saw the title to this, my heart sank...My thoughts and prayers are with you all...What a great tribute to Papa Curt...We love you all and please give your dad and grandma a huge hug from us all...❤❤❤

Sending you and your family hugs and prayers. So sorry for your loss and thank you so much for sharing your Grandpa with us.

Kudos Laura for a wonderful tribute to your Grandfather! Condolences and best wishes to you and your family❤️!

Laura - I'm so sorry...thank you for trusting and loving us enough to share this video. We all love you and your family. You're in my prayers every nite.

I lost my 89 year old Dad last October. I'm 52 but I can tell you - coping with the loss of a loved one is hard at any age. My Grandpa died aged 70 when I was only 4 years old, so I'm thankful that you had much more time with your Grandpa than I did. As you and your family move forward, keep him with you in your heart and you can be thankful that he passed away in his own house with his beloved family with him. We all have to die some day and that it the best way in my opinion. I send you my prayers and very best wishes from the other side of The Pond in Southwest England. Take care and be strong.

Laura, I’m really really sorry for your loss. Papa Curt would be proud of how amazing you are!!! He knows you love him and he loves you!!! You and your family are in my prayers

Sorry for your loss. You're a great person for doing this video!

Laura, I know this is 6 months+ later but I am still very sorry about your loss of Papa Kurt. He is in a better place now not in pain and farming in the heavens above. I lost my Grandpa John at the age of 7 and still wished i had more time with him. You are doing GREAT in his eyes.

So sorry for your loss. He had to be so proud of you for following in his footsteps and for being the wonderful person that you are. You had many thousands of your fans shedding a tear with you on that beautiful tribute to your grandfather. God bless you and the rest of your family.

Such an extraordinary tribute to a man of God and Grampa! God bless you, Sweetheart. Prayers for you and the family throughout this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss, there is clearly a lot of your Grandpa’s resolve and determination in you. He will live on through you. May he rest in peace.

Definitely a bright spot in my day but what really got me was the end where Curt said, "Signing off from Laura Farms". He will always be there. So sorry for your (our) loss. 💙

Laura, keep those memories close to your heart, I know what you’re feeling. I lost my dad in October. I had him for 63 years. He was just like grandpa grown up on a farm. He got into the business side of agriculture. He worked with the president of Illinois agricultural association. He was an amazing man who would give his shirt off his back to anybody who needed it. Like my dad, he’s in heaven and I’ll see him and mom one day. May God be with you and bless you. I have prayers coming your way.❤

I’m so sorry for your loss, remember your papa is looking down at you and your family and I’m sure he is extremely proud of you.

Such an amazing man! It explains a lot about why you are the person you are, Laura! You are carrying his torch with pride!

I am so so sorry for your loss. When I lost my farming grandpa it was so hard. They are just a special kind of grandpas. I spent many summers with him farming that are truly missed. I will keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I was having a hard time watching this video as it was, but then the very end...Oh boy!!!! Laura and Grant, I love your videos and the fact that you share so much of your life with all of us RU-vid followers. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may He lift his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Such a fitting tribute for a good man and veteran. May he rest in peace and continue to look over you.

All my love and condolences for you, Laura, Grant and your family. Papa Curt lives on in your heart and memories. His hugs and love for you remain. Peace be with you.

You are in are thoughts and prayers. Please remember that we all have a limited time on this earth. My wife and I are in our 70's and wonder what will happen when one of us leaves and how the survivor will continue.

What a incredible tribute to your Papa Curt who's looking down from Heaven with so much pride in you. Please know your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers forever Laura! Tom Lunemann (Casper)

The loss of a loved one is always hard. Grieve their loss and celebrate they’re life. My condolences to you and your family, Laura. I was in Nebraska at the first of the month celebrating the life and loss of my cousin.

A great tribute to a man who clearly earned it. Prayers for you and your family.

Hello Laura, It has also been so long since I have been able to watch your videos. I really miss seeing your videos and seeing you and also hearing from you.. I do so miss the farm work.,
