Pat Boone Shares Heartbreaking Loss Ahead Of New Song’s Release
Legendary singer Pat Boone lost his wife of 65 years in 2019. Together, Shirley and Pat raised four daughters, Debby, Cherry, Linda, and Laurey. At 91, Pat misses Shirley terribly, but her dog, Shadow, helped him feel close to her after her death. Pat shared their story in a sweet Instagram post.
“Here’s my buddy, Shadow. He was Shirley’s dog first, and oh how they loved each other. After she went to Heaven, he stayed close by my side, my faithful companion and bed partner. I’d sing to him sometimes…a little tune I’ve recorded just for him: “Nights are long since you went away, I think about you all through the day… My buddy, my buddy, nobody quite so true,” Pat Boone wrote.
