Reba McEntire has been mourning her mother’s loss recently. It doesn’t help that 29 years ago she lost her band in a plane crash. She recently posted a photo of her band on Instagram recalling the day’s events from 29 years ago. “29 years ago today, I lost my friends in a plane crash. The timing of Mama’s passing with that anniversary seems appropriate,” she writes.
“I know they’re all in Heaven together and taking care of each other. Let’s keep finding ways to take care of each other down here on earth and never take one moment with our loved ones for granted.”

Another says, “Thank you, Reb. It’s so important that we all look out for each other♥️♥️” Reba lost her mother recently at the age of 93 following a battle with cancer. “Our Mother, Jacqueline McEntire, made that wonderful cross over into Heaven today. She had a wonderful, full, healthy life and was absolutely ready to go. The cancer might think it won the battle but we’re giving God all the credit on selecting the time for her to go home to Him,” Reba writes on Instagram, confirming the sad news.
