Mike,
Listening to Eddie Stubbs on WSM this week he did say that Jim Ed Brown visited with Eddy before his passing and told Eddie that he died from a broken heart. It is a verified medical condition, it happens a lot, and sometimes it takes awhile. My Mom (Bless her Soul on Mother's Day) missed my Dad terribly and she lived almost 3.5 years longer but I can remember her crying at Easter the first year he was gone. Well hopefully they are at peace and together again if that is indeed possible now. My condolences to Eddy's family and all those whose life he touched with his music. Eddy was one of my favorites also and I got to see him in concert in 1982 at The Front Row Theatre in the Cleveland area.

Regards,
Don

: A very sad week indeed, for Country music
: fans, First Leo and now Eddy Arnold,probably
: my second favorite country singer from the
: days of the Nashville sound, next to Jim.
: It's ironic that Eddy passed away so soon
: after losing his wife. It makes me think of
: Johnny Cash and June Carter,whose deaths
: were not very far apart. A sad time for
: those of us who loved the good old days of
: classic country music.

: Rest In Peace Mr. Arnold, you have been
