I've been busy at the workshop all day only to come online tonight to read that Dolly Parton is gone 😢
While we were growing up, we couldn't get enough of her songs like "Coat of Many Colors" and "Jolene."
I remember always playing Jolene any time that my wife is around. It is always a sweet moment.
Her kindness amidst her achievements were heartwarming. I pray for her family and all of us, the fans, in this difficult situation. I've been playing her songs for an hour now. Is anyone else playing her songs in a way to honour her today

I admired her very much. Despite the loud image she did up for being an entertainer. She was a tribute to being real and in touch with her fans and people in general who could see that great honest persona she had. I think the movies she did made her more aware of to most people rather than a country singer. But they both complemented each other.
So long Dolly, you did a fine thing while you were here.
Her service to humanity right from the 80s is commendable. She singlehandedly helped reduce the county dropout rate from 35% to 6% with her act of service when she encouraged kids in 8th and 7th graders in Sevier County to keep working hard to graduate. Those who made it, she offered 500 bucks at that time.
There are numerous documented acts of kindness that Dolly Parton did when she was alive, and for that, she will be hugely missed by family and friends.
