Ashley Monroe Reveals Her Granni Passed Away – “I Got A Call That Broke My Heart Wide Open”
Country singer Ashley Monroe finds herself mourning the loss of her beloved Granni.
Early on Thursday (August 28), Monroe shared that she was in Scotland when she received “a call that broke [her] heart wide open.”
“My precious Granni had quickly taken a turn for the worse, and wasn’t going to make it,” Monroe wrote on Instagram.
Thankfully, Monroe got the chance to speak to her Granni one last time.
“I was able to call her and tell her she was the best Granni I could ever ask for, and that I was going to miss her so much, but that I know I’ll see her again… and I do,” she said.
Monroe called her Granni her “best friend.” They made biscuits and gravy together, watched The Young and the Restless, and loved shopping at the mall.
Although she’s devastated to have lost her Granni, Monroe is grateful she had her in her life for so long. She’s extra grateful her Granni got to be a great-Granni to her eight-year-old son, Dalton William Danks.
“She will be in my heart every second til I’m back with her again,” Monroe wrote.
Monroe also posted a few photos of her Granni. You can see those sweet snapshots in the slideshow below.
