Written by\u00a0Matt Wynn<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Olivia Rudeen<\/strong>,\u00a0\u201cSeven Minutes in Heaven\u201d<\/em>\u00a0explores a soul-stirring concept \u2014 if given just a few moments in the afterlife, who would you choose to spend them with?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In a verse that perfectly captures the song\u2019s emotional depth, Reba sings:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t ask Cash why he wore all-black \/ Or have Elvis sing me a song \/ I wouldn\u2019t ask why Kennedy died \/ \u2019Cause I know that I wouldn\u2019t have long\u2026 If I had seven minutes in Heaven \/ I\u2019d spend them all with you.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This touching declaration becomes even more powerful when you realize exactly who the \u201cyou\u201d is:\u00a0Reba\u2019s late mother, Jacqueline McEntire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A Personal Tribute to a Mother\u2019s Enduring Love<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jacqueline McEntire<\/strong>\u00a0passed away on March 14, 2020, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 92 years old. Reba shared the news with heartfelt words, saying:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cShe had a wonderful, full, healthy life and was absolutely ready to go. The cancer might think it won the battle, but we\u2019re giving God all the credit on selecting the time for her to go home to Him.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jacqueline had been a guiding force in Reba\u2019s life, and her loss left a profound mark on the country star.
