No... no... no... no... no... not news I wanted to hear.
She was just this... incredible life force; always
championing for people, always in kindness.
Dolly with Lilly and Jane.
9 to 5
Such incredible talent; in song and on screen...
Always giving. We had the opportunity to visit Dollywood
several years back. Dolly bought a dilapidated fair ground
in her home town of Pigeon Forge TN. The town was in poverty,
coal was the only industry, and the mines had shut down.
The park had one ride - a train - and she turned it into an
exceptional amusement park that hired so many unemployed
town folk. Part of the park is dedicated to the artisans from the region.
Blacksmiths, ceramicists, weavers.
Just exceptional.
This world just became a little darker.
From her family.
The finale to "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"
RIP Dolly. You are so, so loved.
Let's end on a great note...
Dolly and Kermit.
