Besides the audience loving the special performance, online, fans also shared their thoughts on the song, even if it was just a small portion. For one person, they admitted, “Music is medicine. Thinking of you Lorrie.” Another comment focused on the singer’s pain of losing her husband. “Glad you’re out there singing your heart out. Know it’s tough but music will get you through like it always has! Love you Lorrie Morgan, you’re one of the all time best!”
Over the last few months, Morgan canceled a string of shows to stay beside her husband, who battled mouth cancer since 2024. Sadly, on June 1st, White passed away. Marrying each other back in 2010, the country singer admitted White had been her rock for numerous years. “Randy has been my partner and my rock for 17 years. Our big, wonderful family and I are devastated at the loss of this truly kind and incredible man.”
Although heartbroken over the loss, the singer decided to focus on the good as Morgan wrote, “I was blessed by his love. Ran-Ran, I will love and miss you forever.”
