Suzanne Somers sang love song to husband Alan Hamel at her own memorial

Suzanne Somers performed a moving tribute of her own for husband, Alan Hamel, at her Palm Desert memorial in November one month after her death from cancer.

Suzanne Somers made sure her long-time love, husband Alan Hamel, knew how much he was adored even after she died.

During a pre-recorded message shared at one of her memorials, Somers sang a rendition of Leon Russell's 1970 classic, "A Song for You," according to People magazine.

The "Three's Company" actress died in October following a decades-long battle with breast cancer. She was 76.

She died from "breast cancer with metastasis to brain," according to a copy of her death certificate obtained by Fox News Digital.
