Our Dolly. Our Queen
Today the world grieves but Dolly’s light will always burn bright.
We feel like we’ve lost a friend
Dolly was everything to us.
Funny, kind, talented, grounded, inspiring, a business woman who stood her ground (that Barbara Walters interview) and someone who laughed at herself before you could. Authentically and beautifully herself until the end.
Beautiful and brimming with talent
Dolly wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same day.
Said no to Elvis when he wanted the rights to I Will Always Love You
Was married to the same man for 58 years.
She played the guitar with the longest nails
She gave so much - helped children read, kept kids in college, helped people recover from natural disasters, funded a Covid vaccine, gave money to hospitals.
She made fashion for dogs (Doggy Parton) owns theme parks, hotels, wine, beauty, baking mixes - the woman was an absolute power house.
What we will remember the most is the kindness, the fun and the glamour.
As we say in our show - the world needs more Dolly Parton. We will hold Dolly in our heart and continue spreading the message of love, kindness and inclusivity.
The right person was made famous.
Dolly WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ❤️
