Family and friends came out to mourn Mindy McCready Wednesday in Nashville.  On hand was her former labelmate Lorrie Morgan, who remembered a sadness in Mindy's eyes. Lorrie said, “Who knows what could have made Mindy truly happy? We all seem to ask ourselves, ‘What could we have done to change this sad outcome?’” Lorrie and other longtime friends Bryan White and Bekka Bramlett sang at the service.   Mindy's mother, Gayle Inge, attended the service, but her sons Zane and Zander did not.  CMT will present the retrospective Mindy McCready: Fallen Angel Sunday at 8 p.m.[ET].
