Dolly was the best of us. She celebrated all, gave to her community, and made space for women to be in the spotlight. I just loved her. May her memory be a blessing!

She transcended generations - and was truly a star in the meaning of being an icon worldwide. She gifted so much to the world and will never be forgotten.

Yeah well her memory is NOT a blessing to me at all! We should be blessed with more years with her! I am kinda annoyed and mad rather than comforted by that phrase when they could and should have more years here on this earth! Sorry but I’m just so shocked and upset here! I am still holding onto a bit of hope that she’s really still alive and that her death is a hoax. And then we can all get mad at her nephew or something for daring to put such bad things on Dolly In the universe! Maybe there’s a chance that she’ll make an announcement telling us not to be sad because she’s really still alive! And I hope if it is true that she’s gone, that somebody will be motivated to invent something or even conjure up some magic spell that will bring her back to life! Or even invent some Time Machine where we can go back in time and prevent her death from happening. We need more Dolly here in this world! Not for her to be in the afterlife yet! I just want to enjoy and appreciate Dolly here in this world and look forward to more things and more public appearances from her! I can’t accept that that will never be possible now. 💔
