Loretta Lynn's granddaughter reveals the best advice the legendary singer gave her

Loretta Lynn's granddaughter Emmy Russell spoke to Fox News Digital at the CMT Music Awards and revealed the best advice the legendary singer gave her was to always trust in God.

Loretta Lynn’s daughters are keeping the memory of the country music legend close to their hearts after her devastating death.

In an interview on Tuesday, Peggy and Patsy Lynn shared how faith was truly important to their mother.

"No matter what faith…people have in their lives…my mom was a strong believer," Patsy said during an appearance on "Today." 

"It gave us hope to see her again and for her to know that she’s going to see us again."

The comments from Lynn’s daughters come on the heels of the release of her book, "A Song and A Prayer: 30 Devotions Inspired by My Favorite Songs."

The book is a collection of devotionals combined with song lyrics that deliver a unique form of worship, according to the book’s synopsis. 

The "Coal Miner’s Daughter" songstress wrote that "Heaven must be the happiest place on earth."
