Lynn's family said in a statement following the service: “Our hearts are so deeply touched by the beautiful tribute held Sunday night at the [Opry] to honor Loretta's life and legacy. The night perfectly captured her career and the performances were phenomenal. Above all each song came from true friends, and the room was filled with her family, her friends, and her fans. Love filled the room and surrounded each of us.”
