Loretta Has Lost Two Children, But Her and Her One Surviving Son Sent THIS Amazing Message To Jesus Loretta Lynn has had 6 children in her lifetime, but only one son and 3 daughters are still alive on earth. Her first son passed away during a horrible drowning accident, and her daughter passed away due to an illness. I could not imagine burying one child. Loretta has had to bury two. That is the hardest tragedy for anyone to ever get through, but somehow Loretta has. Loretta loved her children; there is no doubt about that. She has three daughters still alive: Peggy, Cissy, and Patsy. Patsy and Peggy are twin sisters and are actually in a band together. Her son Ernest, who is featured in the video below, was born in 1954. He was their third child and has had a musical career. Lorettas entire family is musically inclined. Her sister, Crystal Gayle, has had numerous number one hits. When Ernest and Loretta begin to sing their Message To Jesus I almost broke down and cried. The song is beautiful and the mother/daughter duo sound great together. The religious ballad is one of Lorettas greatest songs. This performance is one of Lorettas proudest moments. Will you send your love to Loretta?
