This breaks my heart.

Paradise by John Prine

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

John died of covid, 7 April 2020, age 73.

In accordance with Prine’s wishes as expressed in his song “Paradise”, half of his ashes were spread in Kentucky’s Green River. The other half were buried next to his parents in Chicago
