I had seen this recently in the news. Wow, she died day before her induction? What a bummer for her. But she still led a fairly long life and it had to have been filled with many proud and joyful moments despite her illness. Very well done, milt.

Thanks, Caren. They are natives of Ashland, KY, of course, and we see them about town fairly often. Although they live in Nashville, their mother is buried here and they have property here in town. Good people.

Hi Milt, I just found out about her passing a few hours ago. I am still in shock. I was so happy to see her and Wynnona performance at CMA’s a few weeks ago. Although it's heartbreaking that you had to write this for Naiomi you did a good job. Mental illness ain't no joke, it's in my family, I know the devastation of it-Alexis
