  • After my mother passed away last month I made this video for her memorial, using her left behind collection of 8mm film, VHF tapes and numerous photos.
    As a young boy she always encouraged me to draw, buying me big wire bound sketch books every Christmas. She was my champion, and to the end, was always interested to know about my latest idea. She will be dearly missed.

    I'm truly sorry for your loss, Paul. Both of my parents are gone, so I know exactly what you're feeling.
    Fortunately, you'll have the memories to cherish for the rest of your days.

    Oh Paul. Love and best wishes from the UK. Thank you for sharing your wonderful mums life! She really did seem to have lived a FULL life and clearly had a lot of fun. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. You will always have these lovely images and memories of her to cherish forever. I'm happy for you that you had such a loving mum. Take care Paul x

    Paul … It is with unspeakable sorrow that I learned of the passing of your mother!!! What a wonderful and beautiful tribute!!! My deepest condolences go out to you and your family and y’all’s friends and acquaintances!!! She had to be a world class mother to raise such a wonderful and talented son!!! Through the passage of time, may the burden of sorrow be permanently eclipsed by peace, contentment and joy!!! Until then, know you have one fan living on the border between East and Central Texas who is behind, beside and with you and your family!!! Y’all and Mom are in prayer!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨‍🌾✝️🙏🖖👍👋🐩

    She loved us more than anything in this world, and she never failed to show it. I miss her so so very much. This video means everything to me, Uncle P. It's beautiful. I'd like to have the photo you sketched as well. That too is as perfect as she was.

    I lost my dad in '94. Mom passed a coupe of years ago. I took care of her for her last 10 years or so.
    Not a day goes by when I don't think about both of them.
    My condolences on your loss, Paul.

    Hello. This popped in my YT feed. Maybe because I watch a lot of mechanical design channels. I'm a mechanical design engineer for 28 years now. I just wanted to say my condolences to you. This was a beautiful tribute to your mom. My mom was an artist painter in Cuba when I was a kid but we left during the castro revolution. We landed in NYC 1968, I was 3. Then in 1974 we moved to Miami, Florida. My mom would sometimes have me pose for her paintings as a kid. Then I would go sell door to door. She passed at 56 from lung cancer in 1989. She was born in 1933. Anyway, I teared up watching this video because losing a great mom is hard and my mom was always kind to me. Again, sorry for your loss. Oh, and keep making those cool things!

    That was lovely; a true celebration of her life. The editing was well done, especially the video of her shaking hands to match up with the music. The little things like that show how much care you put into it.
    If I may say, I think you look more like your father, but you definitely have your mom’s smile.

Just know you’re not alone in your grief and I think this tribute to your mom is lovely. I made a playlist of my grandma’s favorite songs and included my own songs that remind me of her as a tribute and it helped me a lot. Just know she is in a better place and is always with you Paul
