The matriarch of the McEntire family, Jacqueline, passed away at the age of 93 on March 14, 2020, following a protracted fight with cancer. She was known as the queen of country music.

McEntire, 68, sent a devastating message on Instagram announcing the death of her ‘mama,’ writing,

‘Today, our mother, Jacqueline McEntire, made that wonderful cross over into Heaven.’ She was fully prepared to depart, having lived a lovely, full, and healthy life.

The message goes on, ‘We’re giving God all the glory for choosing the moment for her to return home to Him,

even if the cancer may believe it has won the war. She couldn’t wait to visit our father, her parents, and every member of her family.

The ‘Queen’ of the television show The Voice, Reba McEntire, longs for a mere seven minutes, despite the fact that her mother now has a permanent spot in paradise.

The show’s mentor stunned viewers on the episode where the top nine singers were revealed by giving a moving rendition of ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven,’ from her 2023 album ‘Not That Fancy.’

The legendary performer of country music gently sings the line ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven,’ explaining what

she would do with those extra minutes of bliss against a misty backdrop of vividly colorful fall leaves and clear skies poking through.

The ethereal splendor of the digital picture on stage was enhanced by McEntire’s delicate yet strong vocals, which went,

‘I know just what I’d do/ Take a walk down those golden streets/ And find a quiet corner booth.” As she sings the chorus,

‘I wouldn’t spend all my seconds asking God questions/ ‘Cause He knows I’d be back soon,’ she informs her mother that ‘we miss you.’

The autumn leaves fade to black as the icon sings the final phrase, ‘If I had seven minutes in Heaven,

I’d spend them all with you,’ and a stunning black and white photo of Jacqueline appears on the screen behind her.

With her trademark drawl, McEntire turns to face the TV and adds, ‘Oh I miss you, mama.’

Lovers showered the singer with praise, complimenting her on her sincere ability to connect with her audience.

‘This song makes me think about my mom, who I lost two years ago,’ one person comments. Anything to give her a hug and have another seven minutes of conversation with her.

Reba is the best! ‘I’m sitting here in front of the TV listening to Reba sing this song crying my heart out,’

says the second, describing her emotional response to the performance from her home. She has always been one of my best friends. God bless you, Reba.

One third says, ‘Whoa! How unique. I’m crying uncontrollably. However, they are content. honoring all of the loved

ones who have had a profound impact on our life. How amazing it is to connect with your audience in this fantastic way!

Another netizen, in the meantime, informs others that the legend is mourning for more than just her mother.

Remember that Reba is singing about her father and her entire band when she sings this song. Not simply her mother…The user comments, ‘She’s a strong woman who has dealt with a lot of loss.’
