Our hearts and thoughts are with Cole Swindell.

He shared on Monday (September 13th) that his mom, Betty Carol Rainey, has passed away.

On his Instagram story, Cole posted a picture out a plane window with the comment, “Took this on the flight home to Georgia this afternoon. Lost my sweet Mom today. I know she’s up there. Gonna miss her so much. Love y’all.”

Cole lost his dad. William Keith Swindell, unexpectedly in 2013 – sadly, it also happened in September, on the 2nd.

It was the loss of his father that inspired Cole’s very personal & powerful song “You Should Be Here.”
