Incredibly sad about Dolly. She was singular and incredible in so many ways. Honestly, I wasn’t ready for this one.

Thanks. I had no idea! Glad you spoke up. I won't link to them anymore.

I am truly at a loss for words. There are some people who come into your life and leave a mark that can never be erased. Dolly was one of those people.
I will forever be grateful that I had the privilege of knowing her, learning from her, and carrying a piece of her with me through such an important and formative part of my childhood. Getting to play Dolly changed my life, but getting to know her changed my heart. Memories, lessons, laughter, and a light that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
The world will never be the same without her, but that light will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to experience it.
Thank you for believing in me, for teaching me, for letting me be a small part of your story, and for being such a meaningful part of mine.
Rest peacefully, Dolly. You will be missed more than words can ever say.
Thank you for everything. ❤️

We've seen a lot of icons leave in the last few years, but this one hits especially hard. Off the top of my head the only ones that come even close are Dames Angela Lansbury and Maggie Smith. 😢

I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this – more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever. We have our memories of her, her songs, Dollywood, “9to5,” the millions of books she got into the hands of children, all the iconic images that bring her to us. And they are
all blessings. Let’s be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now. I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of
Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves. She was many things…lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who’d never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard
they’d have to cross their legs.

She had a survivor’s instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right...and then she’s stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger’s home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy. That’s something of hers she’d want us
all to take with us.

To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn’t want y’all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she’s an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven.

RIP, beautiful woman. We love you. ❤️

I was surprised and saddened by the news but Jane Fonda's words are what made me burst into tears.

There may never be another Dolly but I hope that perhaps in her memory we can keep her influence moving through the world.

Dolly was such a sweet human being. I loved her music as well. She passed on my grandmother's birthday. May she rest in peace.

Dolly. What a loss.

And now Jane Fonda has me crying again.

A stellar Coat of Many Colors for Dolly Parton, forever among the stars 💗

Colorful nebula in space with a white haze throughout that is more concentrated in the center with a rippling effect. Colorful gas filaments appear to splash outward from the nebula center, colored yellow, magenta, and blue. A faint black border with right angles at the corners of the images show where the telescope’s field of view stops. Small white stars dot the background.

It’s hard for me to imagine the world without Dolly. Dolly’s heart was as big as her talent. She was not only a great singer/song writer/actress/TV star, Dolly also lived her art. She used her art, her fame and her money to help so many people. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve thought to myself, “What would Dolly do?” She was a great role model for all of us. I hope she is in a place with Carl, her Mom and Dad and all her loved ones who’ve passed. She will be so missed. Rest in Peace Dolly.

Im absolutely floored … I’ve just gotten over Bonnie leaving us

RIP my darling Dolly

Not Dolly :( :( come on man

Truly a one of a kind. Saw her in concert decades ago and that made me a life long fan.
