Pray for her 2 precious little boys… may God’s peace & protection be on (sic) them!”
LeAnn Rimes shares, “My heart goes out to Mindy McCready’s family. I knew her well. It’s a horribly tragedy. May peace be with her sons,” and Wynonna Judd tells followers, “Unbelievable & so sad. God be with the family & those babies. Surround them with your grace & mercy.”
