Well, Dolly Parton it’s about time for you to be praising and worshiping God in heaven! Rest in peace old friend. Hugs, love, prayers and deepest heartfelt condolences to your loved ones. ~ Dianna Chenevert

A Search For Truth by Dianna Chenevert
Irma Thomas, Dianna "Mama D" Chenevert & Dolly Parton in New Orleans, LA during a break while filming a Dolly Parton special.
"Though I've had quite a few trials in my life, God has blessed me with some special moments in time that always brings a smile to my face. I'll never forget what Irma said to Dolly when we were on the set sitting at a table during one of the breaks. I don't think that any of us seemed to have a problem with communication, being honest & speaking our minds. (I may include Irma's comment & Dolly's clever answer in my book "A Search For Truth" A Search For Truth by Dianna Chenevert )
“This is not a picture of me with famous entertainers, it's of three women with incredible stories of endurance. For me it's also a reminder of how God has allowed me to be used as a link between races & cultures. I was sometimes criticized for booking more African American entertainers than white ones when I owned Omni Attractions but I ignored such disrespectful foolishness.” ~ Dianna Chenevert
Dianna Chenevert also booked Dr. John for the Dolly Parton special http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWEKKN1TAms&list=PLD94ACDD489ED6438&feature=share&index=28
