Randy, we miss you. Your voice was possibly the greatest in country music history. God bless.

Though Jones was no longer with them, his memory lived on through the music he had created and the countless lives he had touched. And for those at his funeral, Randy Travis’ performance of “Amazing Grace” was a fitting tribute to a true icon of country music.
