IT WAS BRIEF, deep, heavenly. A car crash brought them together, a plane crash couldn’t destroy a kinship that lasted beyond a lifetime. How do you repay the angel who literally gave you the shirt off her back and the panties from her travel bag? Patsy was Loretta’s mentor, guardian angel, inspiration, and friend. Well, you repay her the only way that makes any sense if you’re country music royalty: you sing. You don’t fall to pieces or get crazy. Loretta wasn’t going to waste the lessons she learned about strength, empowerment, standing up for the next in line. She named one of her twins Patsy and kept Cline’s music alive, the greatest tribute of all.
