I miss you so much…” The sudden death of Brandon Blackstock, 48, ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson \u2014 has left the singer and their two children, River Rose (10) and Remington Alexander ( 8 ), utterly heartbroken. At yesterday\u2019s private funeral in Nashville, grief hung heavy in the air. Kelly sat in the front row with her children clinging to her hands, their faces pale and tear-streaked. When the time came, the three of them rose together, walked to the altar, and stood before the microphone. They began to sing \u2014 Kelly\u2019s steady but trembling voice leading, River\u2019s sweet tones blending in, and little Remington\u2019s soft harmonies wrapping around them. The chapel fell into complete silence, every ear straining to catch each fragile note… WATCH VIDEO BELOW \ud83d\udc47"},"content":{"rendered":"

\u201cHow Can I Live Without Dad?\u201d<\/strong>
As mourners gathered in the candlelit chapel, the two children \u2014 dressed in black, holding tightly to Kelly\u2019s hands \u2014 could barely contain their emotions. Witnesses say that when it was their turn to approach the casket,\u00a0both burst into tears<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

River, her voice trembling, reportedly whispered:<\/p>\n

Remington leaned against the casket, quietly saying:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to miss you every single day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The room fell silent except for the sound of their sobs. Kelly pulled them close, her own tears streaming, as she kissed each of their foreheads.<\/p>\n

A Mother-and-Children Tribute in Song<\/strong>
In a moment no one will forget, Kelly and her children took the stage together to perform Brandon\u2019s favorite song \u2014\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019ll Be in My Heart\u201d<\/em>\u00a0by Phil Collins.<\/p>\n

Kelly began softly, her voice shaking:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cCome stop your crying, it will be all right\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Then River joined in, her small voice echoing through the chapel, followed by Remington, who sang the chorus in unison with his mother and sister. The harmonies were imperfect, but the emotion was raw and overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\"Kelly<\/a><\/p>\n

By the final verse, even the officiant was wiping away tears. Friends and family rose to their feet in a standing ovation \u2014 not for the performance, but for the courage it took for two grieving children to honor their father this way.<\/p>\n

KELLY\u2019S FINAL WORDS AT THE SERVICE<\/strong>
After the song, Kelly spoke briefly, her voice breaking:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBrandon was a lot of things to the world, but to us, he was Daddy. And no matter what life brought, that\u2019s the title he wore best. We will carry him with us \u2014 in our voices, in our hearts, and in every song we sing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She then hugged her children close, the three of them standing arm in arm as the casket was carried out to the sound of soft guitar music.<\/p>\n
