My Grandfather had this song played at his son’s funeral. (My uncle). He was 28 years old and killed in a car accident. A few years prior, my uncle fathered his only child out of wedlock. I remember when I heard this, I thought all the negative thoughts that go through your mind when you hear that a young, unmarried couple is expecting a baby. But to my surprise, HE WAS A WONDERFUL FATHER! He loved his child so much, and wanted to marry the mother. But, as the story goes in my family, the mother toyed with him and would never marry him. (I was young and away at college at the time of his death, so I’m telling this as accurately as I can.) But as I recall, when the song was played at his funeral, the mother of his child, got up and left. I’ve always admired my Grandfather for playing this song at my uncle’s funeral. My Grandfather too has now passed on, and I really hope they were reunited in Heaven.

I think Possum had a lot to do with that.
