Seven beautiful people were tragically killed in a plane crash on Friday afternoon: Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband, Jason, and daughter and son-in-law, Amber Nelon Kister and Nathan Kistler, Assistant Melodie Hodges, pilot Larry Haylie and his wife, Melissa. They were traveling to join the Gaither’s Alaskan Cruise.
Surviving daughter, Autumn Nelon Streetman, and husband, Jamie thank people for their prayers and support for them, their soon-to-be-born baby boy, and Jason’s parents.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna163931
May we all honor and remember their beautiful music (I’ve listened to them for many years).
In honoring this gifted family, we can pay tribute to those in our lives that have journeyed home~and those that remain in our immediate midst.
The brevity of life braces us for the brutal, breathless, breathtaking, and brilliant.
Do you know how loved you are?💚
Find faith. 💛 Keep the faith.❤️

Pingback: Then Came the Morning – Me and my life 😍🙏😊(ये मेरी ज़िन्दगी हैं)
So sorry for this loss, Karla.
Their music and walk in faith will be their legacy, Mark. So heartbreaking for their surviving daughter and the other family members. 🙏🏻
Such sad news.😢 Your words are a poignant reminder, Karla.
“The brevity of life braces us for the brutal, breathless, breathtaking, and brilliant.”
Bless you, sweet Kelley.💛💛💛
that is so sad, Karla; we’ve had a few fatal light plane crashes in Oz; they break people’s hearts 🙁
💔 my heart goes out to the survivors. 🙏🏻
Karla, I was so sad to read this over the weekend. Butch and I used to sing Then Came the Morning many years ago. At best, life is very short. We must be prepared!
Love you, sweet lady ❤️🙏🏻
Pam, I knew you’d be heartbroken, too. Your words are wise, dear friend. I can hear you and Butch singing this song 🎶
I love you, too. 💛💕🙏🏻
I like their sound. What a tragic loss. Life is very fragile.
It is, my friend. In recent years, I’ve loved their covers of folk and Americana~such amazing talents and peaceful music~new music was announced to be released. I’ll continue listening and honoring.
May their beautiful music live on! Prayers for family and friends…🙏
Amen, dear Cindy. 🎶🙏❣️
Oh Karla, this is such a terrible tragedy. I listened to these videos and they truly were a sound in the universe. It is such a profound loss…so many…but those hearts will not be forgotten because of that gift they shared. My prayers and heart goes out to their family and loved ones. And to you also kind lady in how it has touched you deeply also. Take care, my thoughts are with you ❤️🙏
That’s so kind, Mark. I stand with all those who listened and appreciated their music and message. There’s so much loss in our world. This morning a dear blogging friend lost her daughter-in-law to cancer. Another blogging friend’s daughter is fighting for her life in the hospital. Life is happening all around us. I don’t share these things to be a “downer” …but to share that life is short and in it, loss, as well as love and beautiful things happen. If anything, it’s a reminder that we can’t take an hour for granted. Often we might be concerned of losing one member–and then, tragedies occur that take multiple–many–how do you cope and understand? Only by love can one fight back with faith and lean on the promise of restoration and eternal hope and life. It’s take belief and conviction. Then grit and determination. To walk it out is the hardest–and I’ve NEVER had to walk through what others have experienced in ways as this. I’m grateful to God to be here and to help pass this legacy of music on to others. 💖💓🎶🙏
It is all spoken with the love that is you Karla. Your empathy and compassion speak truly to allow others to feel the beauty that is there, even though the pain. And yes, it is that power of love that fortifies us. It gives us the strength to go through some of life’s most terrible tragedies. And you are gifting that love that they were, in this sharing of the gift that was them all.
Big hugs kind lady, and my prayers to those that were so touched by this. And yes, it is a legacy of what love is ❤️🙏
What a very sad and tragic accident! Their music is beautiful! So sorry to hear this!
Dwight, I knew you’d appreciate their music and pray for this family. It reminds us how things change quickly. They have a legacy of music that many will continue to enjoy for years.
It is a very sad loss for their family and friends, and all blessed by their music. But our temporary loss is Heaven’s eternal gain.
Amen, Alan. But for hope! Thank you.
It is such a tragedy. My heart breaks for poor Autumn. I can’t imagine her pain. The songs you posted have two of my favorites in them. Then Came the Morning, and Scars in Heaven! <3 Absolutely love those songs. We are sisters, girl! 🙂 Love you and hope you rested well over the weekend!!
Thank you for sharing your heart, sister. My heart breaks for her, too.
It doesn’t surprise me those are two of your favorites. I love you, dear C and hope you are having a great week (and had a good weekend), too! Rest? I’m not for sure on that–I will find sleep somehow–or it will catch up with me? I’m blessed to be here and so happy you are too! 💓💖🤗💕🎶🙏🙏
Oh, no, so tragic. Death is such a reminder that our presence here is terminated and we never know for what date. So, let’s enjoy our time as much as we can and give something to this that outlasts our bodies, like these people did. Or at least be the a good person which is all it needs. I never heard of the Nelons before. So thank you for sharing a few of their songs. They truly left a gift 💖
Thank you for your precious presence, Erika. Your words are always filled with love, compassion, and wisdom. I’m going to try my best to do these things, sweet friend. Much love to you. 💓💖
I know you do! You are such a role model for all of us, dear Karla 💖
Aww, that you, precious friend. That is so kind to say. ❣️🥲
I mean it whole-heartedly, Karla 💖
You’re one to me, my friend. 💕💕💕
💖🤗💖
I’m so sorry to hear this! Life is so fragile, and we never know when it will end. My prayers for the surviving family and their friends!
Ann, thank you. Your words are precious and true! 🙏🏻💕
I am so sorry to hear this. They have touched so many lives.
❣️🙏🥲
I’m deeply saddened to hear about the tragic plane crash that took the lives of Kelly Nelson Clark, her family, and others. My heart goes out to Autumn Nelon Streetman, her family, and everyone affected by this loss. Their music has touched many lives, and their memory will be cherished. May we keep them in our thoughts and honor their legacy as we support their loved ones during this difficult time.
Willie, you’re a precious soul. Your words sad it beautifully. What a loss for earth. My heart is with yours. Sending you and yours love and prayers always, my friend. ❣️🙏
🤗🤗
So sad, Karla. I didn’t know of them before, but praise God, they are known by our God and Savior and are safe now in His arms. Praying for the surviving family members.🙏🏽
Beautifully said, Dora. I love you, sweet friend. ❣️🙏
very fitting song for all of us who know the Lord…we will get our best morning sunrise
Amen, my friend. You’re all heavy in my heart and prayers.
❤️

Heart-breaking. Such tragedies seem to make no sense. It’s at times like these I cling to scripture. One favorite: “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand” (John 13:7). I pray God’s comfort and strength for their family and friends.
Nancy, thank you for sharing this verse. I love that. I join you in that prayer! 💕🙏🥲
Oh, Karla, I had read about the plane crash and it just breaks my heart. Your post is succinct but so heartfelt and perfectly written. I can’t stop thinking about the families and everyone impacted … Then came the morning. Yes, I do remember that morning; oh, how I remember when when the world felt irrevocably changed (at least for me!). (I think this is a possible blog post for sure!) 🤍🤍
Stacy, your heart knows, feels, and understands. Then came the morning. My friend, you are able to offer comfort in a way I wish didn’t exist. 🤍🤍🙏🏻
To have so many from one family is more than overwhelming. I am a huge fan of their and all southern gospel music too. Their voices will be missed.
It’s heartbreaking 💔. Thank you for being here 🙏🏻
Such a terrible tragedy. It reminds me of when Keith Green and his children were killed in a plane crash.
Yes, Jeff. I thought the same thing, too. So many musicians ~constant traveling here and there and the risks of such tragedies. Life is filled with the unexpected ~there is only one way I know to be prepared for it. You know it, too,but it doesn’t make it easier.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Devastating tragedy! I pray for all however especially Autumn who is left behind! Her sense of loss, pain and confusion must be overwhelming! 🙏🏼
I can’t imagine how she’s feeling! Thank you for sharing your love and prayers. ❣️🤍🙏🥰
Tragic. A sad reminder to live each moment as though it is our last one. Condolences to the family and thank you for sharing. Hope you are feeling ok my beautiful sister in spirit.
Karla; How tragic and heartbreaking! I cannot possibly imagine being on the receiving end of news like this. I pray right now that the surviving family members feel the loving, comforting arms of Jesus wrapped around them and hear him whisper, “Don’t despair. I have them now. Hold my hand and we will make it through this together.”
Beautiful music by them and now they are singing in the direct presence of Jesus.
Praying for you little sister
Thank you, big brother. Their music will continue—in glorious ways. I appreciate you so much. Sending prayers to you, too.
Life is so fragile, slippery stepping stones towards the next doo , everyday we try to do our best, believe and be thankful. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gary, you know well, my friend. I think of you so much and keep you both in my heart and prayers. You’re an inspiration to me. I’m thankful, just as you are. ❣️🤍💕🥰
Thanks for sharing this lovely tribute so devastating.. life is fragile and precious and time is and illusion. My heart breaks open for them..all and what a gift that the 3 of them made it.. as hard as that is for her they will live on in the 3 of them, Karla.. Beautiful music 🎵
You’re welcome, C. Last night I watched 1/2 the celebration of their lives on YouTube. When Autumn, the surviving daughter, got on stage to sing with The Isaacs there wasn’t a dry eye. I imagine the singing is going on in heaven just as it is here, C. I did a “rough” recording that I’ll share of one of their songs. Bridge Over Troubled Water moves me, too. I love you, C! Thank you for being here!
Oh how lovely and heartfelt. I can imagine there wouldn’t be a dray eye. They would know deeply those words and I’m sure they are shaking things up in a great way💓
