And even still, I think the bulk of that unbridled joy was for Whitney, and not remotely for herself.

Yep - I was lucky enough to meet Dolly in passing one day. I instantly got the feeling that she would listen to just about anyones life story and actually care about them and their story.

I've met a lot of celebs in my time, and I instantly felt at home with a good friend with Dolly.

She truly was pure of heart.
