Jimmy Carter says he'll attend Gregg Allman's funeral in Macon on Saturday

Former President Jimmy Carter said he will attend Gregg Allman’s funeral in Macon on Saturday.

“Gregg Allman was there when I needed him and Rosalynn and I have always been grateful to him,” Carter, 92, said in a statement on Friday. “I was very proud to participate in Mercer’s awarding Greg an honorary doctorate, and will attend the funeral to show my respect and concern.”

Allman died at age 69 last Saturday at his Savannah home from complications due to liver cancer. He is to be buried alongside his brother Duane and fellow Allman Brothers band member Berry Oakley at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon.

A private service will take place at 1 p.m. at Snow’s Memorial Chapel, followed by a procession to the cemetery. Fans are welcome to line the procession route to pay their last respects to the icon of Southern rock.

I try to go through the subject lines to verify that the apostrophes get included. It's fixed now.
