There are entertainers and there are LEGENDS. Dolly was almost too good to be true. I can’t imagine a world without Dolly Parton in it. She was a beautiful soul, songwriter, singer, actress, incredible humanitarian, and all around joy to witness. She made us smile, sing, and want to be better…to be like Dolly. The only star that I ever stalked was Dolly (we were in Oxford, MS at the same time and I stalked hotels and her tour buses just to catch a glimpse of her with high hopes of meeting her and becoming best friends. 🤣 Long story for another day 🥹) Go rest, Dolly and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for sharing your life, wisdom, and talents with us. The world is a better place because you were in it.
