Vestal Goodman - O How I Love Jesus Medley [Live] 

I can’t get enough of her music I sure wish she was still alive I’m retired and I just watch the video’s over and over

I love Lester goodman She is amazing Search Such a woman of god I've never seen

19 yrs the end of this year. Did you know her, Sharon? She is so loved. ♥️ I wonder if she ever knew how much. Vestal Goodman should not have died at just 2 weeks from her 74th BD. Medicine was advanced enough to have saved her life. I wondered if she ignored symptoms of something being wrong. Did you see her shudder at the beginning of her song. And she didn’t do the first part of the medley. I wondered why. I had never heard of her until January, but I love her so much. What I would have given to have met her!

@@idaclaire1869 never met her but I grew up listening to her. Vestal had her spleen removed in 1992 as a result of lymphoma. She lived a number of years without it. I think she had multiple health issues over the years. She was healed more than once and gives God the praise. If you can find her book you need to read it. Gives you real insight into her life and Howard's. She was truly remarkable and I thank God for giving her to all of us!! BTW the shudder at the beginning is something she does when she feels the presence of the Holy Spirit. That is on several of the dvds.

@@sharonpinner1207 I had considered that about the shudder. But I have watched every video I can find. Multiple times. I have not seen this happen on any other video. Now when she sang “What a Lovely Name “ at the Rymen in 1994, I think some of the singers close to her thought she had the Holy Spirit because she got goosebumps or something. But no shudder like this. My daughter is a nurse. I got her to look at it and she thought that something health wise was going on with her.

@@idaclaire1869 I have had questions about her death due to flu complications too. She lost her husband Howard 13 months before. They were so passionate about each other that I know how hard that must have been. I lost my love last August. He was a clergyman and. We spent almost every moment together like Howard and Vestal. I am heartbroken. I understand her dying in 13 months after his death.

@@sharonpinner1207 …. I am so sorry about your love. Please accept my sincere condolences. I know how hard it is to lose one’s mate. My sweet husband passed away 10 years ago this past March. We were married 47 and a half years. I have said it is like my right arm is ripped off. For me, it has not gotten any better but it has gotten somewhat easier. I look forward to seeing him soon in the resurrection promised by Jesus at John 5: 28&29. I do want to comment about Vestal but I don’t want to put it here. Is there some way I could get a private message to you? Or we could talk if you don’t mind.

OH Barry what a great honor that would of been... I just love her...

so she died in 2003? Then what's she doing on THIS video?

Krista Brewer, she passed in December 2003. This was taped just before her passing and released in 2004.

awww, I can just imagine how sad Howard and the rest of the family must have felt seeing her on this not long after she passed

Krista Brewer, actually Howard passed on nearly 2 years before Vestal.

we ave to have a personal relationship with Christ ourselves before we can enter into the gates of heaven NO "person" can get us into heaven just our Lord Jesus Christ there is NO other way...

yes, this was her and Jake Hess’s final homecoming video. There was a couple more after Howard died with only Vestal though.

This was in November 2003

No this was March 11, 2003, in Austin TX. Potter House filming, but it was both Vestal and Jake's last Homecoming. Vestal didn't appear in another due to schedule, and Jake didn't appear in another due to poor health. Vestal died in December of 2003, and Jake died in January 2004. About 8 days from eachother. A story from the old days says that Vestal was Jake's sweetheart before she was Howard's. Howard came and took her from under Jake's spell while he was on a singing trip. It was always a running joke between them. Jake was a designated pallbearer at Vestals funeral, which was New Years Day 2004, yet he was in hospital at the time, he would pass away 3 days later.

@@garrettbrooks6576 Thank you Garrett! Thanks for the additional interesting information. I appreciate it. I loved Vestal & Howard, as well as Jake, and all of the Happy Goodmans.

Thanks Do you have the lyrics for Jake Hess singing No Fishing please

@@johngeraldbernard5813 i do not unfortunately sorry and it’s hard to find too, I’d have to transcribe it myself sometime. God bless

So this was her last live performance? 😔

It was her last performance that was recorded but it was at The Potters house in Dallas. TD Jakes is on the stage with them.

From The Potter's House, With Bishop TD Jakes

Do you want to talk about somebody who has direct access into the throne room, that is Vestal Goodman! Read about it all, fascinating life fascinating book. I love this woman

That’s amazing! Heaven rejoiced when they gained Vestel! She’s singing praises with the Angels to almighty God now! Precious Lord

Mee too Ruthie!

Macgyer Brown……It looks like to me that she is waving her arms and saying “Stop “.

Marion Oestreich……Some of the papers said complications of the flu. But her son says not. So I guess we don’t know.

Hello, how are you doing?

Apparently 😂
