Nancy, George's wife, spoke up for the first time on his final hours. Even as he was dying, George never lost his wit and sense of humor. After reading the article, I agree and believe the funeral service he was given was exactly what he would have wanted, filled with music and celebration of his life from family, friends and fans who paid respect to him and honored him there today.

I teared up during all performances and my heart ached for Nancy as I watched her wept. Alan's singing of "He Stopped Loving Her Today" at the end of the service touched me deeply as he took his hat off and placed it on his heart while he sang the last line and seemed to be looking at Nancy.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Nancy, family and friends. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Go Rest High Up On The Mountain, George Jones! You are sorely missed but never will be forgotten.

Yes, You are so right. I met Alan and he is the Real Deal. I loved the way Alan held his Hat over his Heart , after having sang George's Song at the funeral today. It was typical Alan showing respect and Love.
 I really liked What their Pastor said about"George", some funny but so much like he was.So glad he had "Nancy" to spend his better Years with, but I Pray for her during this time of loss. Also the family. The Pastor knew "George" knew God, but it was interesting that he shared how, in his last moments, his knowing God.

As someone said, "George" sang" for" the People,not just "to" the people",His Heart wrenching Songs & delivery showed this.
"George" influenced the Younger Guys lives also, Like Alan, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney and many more. His unpretetious ways, reminds me of Alan and humorous ones  also.

I'm sure, "George" is pleased to know how many Fans shared time with him today at his other Home, The Grand Ole Opry.That Building will reflect all the Greats of Country Music Forever.
I loved the way the announcer said, as Alan walked away from his singing Tribute Today, "Alan Jackson, another Great Singer of Country Music." Indeed he is and to me The Best Country Music Singer and Songwriter, but I'm prejudiced.
 My prayers go out to "Nancy"Today. "Peace Be With You" Love In Christ, Jerrie from MS

Thanks for the link. Glad I got to watch most of it & sorry I missed the end where Alan performed.
All of you are very eloquent in your comments about the service. My heart goes out to Nancy. She really helped George turn his life around.
