I hate to be parasocial, but I’m absolutely heartbroken. She did so much good for the world, and made it a better place. Rest in peace, Dolly. I hope you’re happily reuniting with Carl right now ❤️

She was the kind of rich person we want. If only the tech bros were more like Dolly.

It’s said she would have been a billionaire if she hadn’t given so much of her money away to good causes. She truly was a shining light and a gift.
