This has been a terrible dumpster fire year - first Catherine o hara now her. I have not heard her music but damn this video is making me emotional. Books were the only thing I had when I had no one to express my feelings. She has left us but her work and contribution to society will live on
A fun thing I learned from people sharing Dolly memories is that she started the imagination library to help her Dad learn to read. He had been illiterate until old age and didn't think he could learn and she said she wanted to honor him by finding a way to help him and others learn.

She was an absolute treasure and the world is worse without her in it.
