We're sure your Facebook feed is loaded with photos of Dolly today. We are adding a rare one here. This is Dolly many years ago with Texas BBQ legend CB Stubblefield.
When we sell BBQ at the Bell Buckle Craft Fair, we ask each customer 'If you could have lunch with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?' . We write that name on their ticket and then when we bring the food out to them, we call out that name ( or sometimes sing one of their songs if they're a musician ...or repeat one of their famous quotes). By far, Dolly has been the #1 female dream lunch date choice of our customers year after year. She shone with a light that helped brighten the world.
If you want to honor her this week, may we suggest emulating her light. Make someone smile. Laugh at yourself. Compliment those you come in contact with.
Rest in Peace, Dolly. The World will always love you.
