Dr. Barton Corbin sat next to his mother Friday at Sugar Hill United Methodist Church, where his wife, Jennifer, had worked as a part-time preschool teacher.
After the 90-minute service, some family members said they were shocked Corbin made his first public appearance since her death at her funeral.
``I think Jennifer's family was on edge,'' said Lindsay Cathy, a close friend of Jennifer Corbin.
Barton Corbin's family sat on one side of the church, while his wife's family sat on the other.
Earlier in the day, a court affidavit named Corbin as a suspect in his wife's death. He has not yet been charged. Also on Friday, authorities in Richmond County said they had reopened their investigation into the 1990 shooting death of a 27-year-old dental student who had been dating Corbin, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
