Please lift them up in prayer & be with their broken hearts.” Standing by them through the difficult time, the singer added, “Such a heavy week, remembering how love & our loved ones are really all that matter. Wish I was hanging out with my dad tonight.”

Before Pearce entertained thousands of fans, she was just an aspiring artist looking for her big break. For a time, she even performed as a singer at the famous Dollywood. Created by Dolly Parton, it seemed fitting that Peace would find her way to country music. And throughout all the years of struggle, both her mother and father stood alongside her, constantly uplifting her through each performance.
