Longtime members of the E3 community know how dearly I love the Cactus Cuties, particularly their renditions of the Star Spangled Banner and other songs of patriotism and faith. I am saddened to pass along the report that Nannette Barrett (mother of the eldest Cutie, Baylee Barrett) has lost her battle with cancer. There is no good age to lose your mother, but at least I was in my twenties, already married with a daughter of my own, when cancer took mine. I can't begin to imagine how tough it must be for a teenager to go through it.
Their latest YouTube video seems particularly poignant under the circumstances.
Godspeed, Mrs. Barrett.

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.
In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.
We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
I hate that children are forced to face such a loss so young.

I have a message and I can't fly
if you could please carry it along
and express it in a song
It's as heavy as my heart
not very sweet, somewhat tart
be that as it may
all I have to say
Life everlasting has lost it's alure
next time take me as ransom for a cure
