“He says:” I just want to make sure you are going to be in our mausoleum of the group “”, she said on the podcast.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait,” exclaimed the co-host of Tamra. “”He didn't do it. John! No!”
But yes, he did – John Mellencamp actually weighed his daughter's funeral. So Teddi said she asked her: “Where would my children go?” Not where would he give them back the grave; She wanted to know where they would go into the mausoleum.
“It is like” well, there will be the top five. And then we are going to have small areas around him and that's where everyone will be buried “”, she said. “And I'm going,” should I make this commitment right now? “”
