Very nice Karen. Love that style of music. Your Dad and i are 1940 models, although i was born here. My background ancestry is of Scottish origins, McRae Clan with Black Watch links. I'll be 83, come May 30. He looked like a nice chap. God bless you Karen. Bob and Lina.

Amazing life, plus having a lovely daughter like you! You should be proud :) I'm 48 and today and I'll doubt i'll live to 82!

So sorry for your loss, Karen! Your Dad looks like he was a lot of fun, and so talented!

Big chunk out of your life K. The gift of rememberance goes on forever.

Thank you for sharing this lovely tribute to your talented Dad. I am very sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a very talented man. I think us girls always feel the loss of our fathers more deeply. Take all the time you need. Sending much love to you and your family from Norfolk, UK. Xx

Karen, What a beautiful tribute to your Dad. The music was fabulous and the photos so special thank you for sharing him with us your viewers. Take care of you dear girl.

Condolences. A lovely tribute. Thanks for sharing great photos. ❤ wonderfully happy music.

All of the elders in my family have died and I died eight years go and woke up with burn marks where the shocked me nine times. Yes you will miss and grieve him. You do have this lovely tribute.

Thank you Karen. You do you, we'll be here when you get back.

Look after yourself Karen, I lost my dad in 2010, after a battle with cancer. Still hurts. Still miss him daily. Still talk to him a lot about my caravanning exploits. Don’t let anyone tell you how to grieve or how to heal. It’s different for everyone. And happens at different rates. Time isn’t a healer, you just change and learn to cope with the fact they’re not here. Sending love.

Sorry to hear about your dad. As the late Queen says, grief is the price you pay for love and it can hit you when you least expect it. Don't be afraid of it; you won't forget but it is possible to find peace. Playing a musical instrument is something you can do all your life and it had clearly bitten your dad. Thank you for a happy and nostalgic musical experience. Richard (iffy trumpeter, rookie caravanner and widower aged 78)

Sending our sympathy and prayers on the passing of your dear dad. Gloria

Great tribute, he was really living the muso life it looks like. One thing I noticed was how relaxed you looked in all the photos you were in with your Dad. As a Dad myself I would take that as a great accomplishment if I could take away some of my children's worries and concerns, even if for a small time.

My deepest sympathy ❤️

It's difficult to write something, that has not already been said, but I can add, that you will recover from this, because you must recover from this. It's what your dear father would want from you. He wants his sweet daughter to smile again. He wants you to be happy again.

This is a beautiful tribute Karen to a dear friend and neighbour. Take time to heal and be with every moment. Thinking of you all. Much love Carol ❤

What a fun guy! So sorry for his passing. It’s always too soon. ❤ from California

I’m sorry to hear of your fathers death. He appears to have had a full and interesting life. Thank you for sharing in the midst of your grief. Also I’m so glad he had an opportunity to meet your son.

Sorry for your loss Karen. He looked to be a great man. that dried up feeling you mentioned is called grief. Its a natural process and you need to take time to to just that - Process. Take care.

Sincere condolences - he was quite a musician. Fond memories for you and your family!

Wow so awesome what a life, love the photo where both wearing the wings. I'm so sad though to hear of his passing understand what like to loose a dad no matter what age. I hope you see your generation pass through the next one with Reece and it bring good memories and joy ❤

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll raise a glass for your dad here in Scotland. If there is something you would like to happen in Scotland to remember your dad, please let me know.

Beautiful tribute to your Dad. He certainly was a great musician and this was a lovely way to remember him xx

Sorry for the loss of your lovely and talented Dad, Karen. He would've been so proud of you. I see so much of Reese in you as a child, particularly the photo with you in the pink overalls. Hope you're doing ok.

Thanks for showing this tribute of your dadKaren. He certainly had talent and can play that Clarinet. Maybe Reece has some wind instrument talent :) Nice to hear an upbeat tune for a tribute rather than a sad melancholic song. Take some time out for yourself and treasure the time you spent with him.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Even when you know that it's going to happen at some stage in the not too distant future, it doesn't make it any easier when it does happen. It is a lovely tribute video that you made. Thanks for sharing it with us. Take all the time you need to get over the loss of your Dad. ❤

So sorry for your loss Karen, and what a beautiful tribute you've made .It must have been fun to have your own" Benny Goodman"for a Dad. I sincerely wish you all the very best. I'm sure your Dad is looking down so proud of his daughter and Grandson Reeece making their homestead in the beautiful NZ countryside. You're a strong lady and with Hayden by your side you're sure to succeed in whatever you do. Lots of love from me in Canada .❤

So sorry for your loss Karen. I hope u were near him that u got to visit before he passed. I’m sure he was so delighted u bought the land and had little Reese and found love with Hayden. Take time and heal. Condolences to your brother also. 😢

Im genuinely saddened to hear of your loss ..ney all our loss .. ya canny have enogh good musos .. condolences..

What a beautiful tribute to you dad, he certainly was a talented clarinet player, sometimes a tribute just doesn’t seem enough when your doing it but from experience it does help the grieving process. All the best Karen and Family from the UK x

Loved hearing your dad play but sad at the same time for your loss, best wishes for you and your family

Aww such a sweet lovely vlog no words can describe, my parents are still alive as june I face my 60 th birthday 😮, 78 mother 83 father it’s borrowed time it’s awful 😔

Sending lots of love Karen

A life well lived , we can't get much better than that , so sorry for your loss

So sorry for your loss Karen. It's devastating loosing parents as you think they will always be there. I lost my mother in 2007 and my father in 2015. My father and I were so close, it felt like my world was torn apart and a piece of me was gone forever. Even though our loved ones are gone, the one thing that can never be taken away, is the wonderful memories which I still cherish when I think of them. Such a lovely tribute to your dad. Stay strong. Big hug from the UK. xx
