The world will never see another Dolly Parton.
We are deeply saddened at the news that Dolly has passed away today. At the same time, we are incredibly grateful for the legacy that she left behind. She was a powerhouse in every sense of the word and did not stop at fame and fortune, but made it her life's work to make the world a better place. We cannot even begin to count the ways in which she succeeded at that goal. Thank you, Dolly for EVERYTHING you have done for the world. You will be forever missed.
