Godspeed, Mindy McCready

WZTV FOX 17 in Nashville and WGHP FOX 8 in North Carolina are reporting that the troubled “Ten Thousand Angels” singer has died of an apparent suicide.

May she finally find some peace.

McCready leaves behind two sons, a boy aged 6 and an infant aged 10 months.

Pray for those kids.
