    This was the most tear jerking funeral I have ever watched. The whole service was so touching to my heart as I have listened to Merle’s music for many years & enjoyed it so much. I know Merle passed April 6th 2016 a day I will never forget, I thought he would live forever, his music will, I was so sad the tears ran down my cheeks. I’m 84 years old so you know I heard many of his songs. He was the best of the best, can’t believe it’s been seven years since he left us, but I still listen to him every single day, love ya Hag, see ya soon. RIP till we meet again. 😢❤

      I know how you feel. I was actually stunned when I heard the news. I didn't even know he was sick. And what you said about him living forever, man I never ever had a thought that some day he'd be gone. Someone with his enormous talent and likeability doesn't come a long more than once in several lifetimes. He was such an important part of my life. So many good memories. I was fortunate to see him live once. What a performance that was. Miss ya man.

    I can remember my Grandfather listening to Merle Haggard in the car when we would go on long trips he would have his cassette tape in a tape that would hold about twelve cassettes some of them would be of him singing in churches with a lot of old songs in paperback books that later went in to some of the songbooks that we sing out of today in Churches together today I miss my Grandfather’s deep voice

    I just now found this. What an awesome memorial service! Rest in peace, Merle. I'm 67. Some of the first songs that I learned on the guitar as a young teenager were songs that you were singing on the little AM radio that sat on our kitchen counter. And now, to hear the testimonies, to see and hear a reading from your well-worn Bible, at times with tears in my eyes, is all such a heartwarming blessing.

    What a blessing. Oftentimes Merle, brought tears with his music as the Lord, used him to spread the Gospel.
    Just A Closer Walk With Thee, is one of those.

    When my husband and I got married, Valentine's day of 2020, we were married in a Baptist Church. Although it had never been done there, I walked down the aisle to "Nobody's darlin but mine" and walked out of the chapel to "Mama tried".... Merle Haggard was with us, even though he was no longer living. It was perfect!

    Holiday Inn, Eau claire, wis. 1971. I was a huge fan of Merle Haggard at the time and had I think every record he put out up to that time. Merle was doing a show in town and staying at the Holiday Inn. I was closing the bar and ringing out the till, when I noticed a very familiar figure walking through the dining room. Excitedly, I approached him and said, 'Mr. Haggard'. With that he turned around and said he was looking for his room but had gotten turned around. I told him there was no one in the bar, and I would be proud to buy him a drink. "I could sure use one," he replied. With that we went into the dim lit bar, I poured him a triple shot of Crown Royal, and we had a great conversation for about a half hour. One of the highlights of my life!

    After my parents has passed and I was still grieving so much I said to some friends, “all of us that have faith and believe our loved ones have died only now to have everlasting life and to know they are with our Lord, then why do we sit and cry so, missing our loved ones so much?” I guess because we do miss them so deeply. I was lucky enough to see and hear Merle in a small concert, in a casino concert hall, front row could have touched his boots if I had reached out. It was a beautiful evening. I think it was a year or two before he died. I feel so lucky and miss him. I pray for his wife and children and hope they are comforted by their memories and all their pictures and film of him. May they take comfort also as they sing his music and feel the love from their audiences. Each one of you are loved very much. God bless and hold you. ❤
