Okay, I need to apologize as I heard them talking about Choices before they introduced Alan. The whole ceremony was
so heartbreaking and I must have gotten confused on the song. Not hard at my age. Sorry everyone.

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. |

I haven't heard anything about the burial, gravesite services, except that they were private, and at undisclosed location.

Henry..they talked about that at his funeral service, just before Alan came out and sang "He Stopped Loving Her Today" live, to close out the service. He seemed visibly shaken but did an outstanding performance. Saluting with his hat over his heart at the end.

It was on CMT live at 10am CST. Alan closed the service with "He Stopped Loving Her Today". It was great...heart wrenching! Everyone was crying...Alan visibly shaken. He took off his hat at the end and put it over his heart. An awesome tribute!

I watched the first and last part live on CMT. Alan closed the ceremony with "He Stopped Loving Her Today". It was awesome. He was choked up. It tore my heart out. He took his hat off at the end and put it over his heart...about to lose composure, turned and walked off. It was awesome.
I saw him sing that song at the Grand Ole Opry in September 2011 for George Jones 80th birthday party. What a difference a year and half make. So sad. My deepest sympathy the Nancy and the family, all fans and friends of this legend. |
