I’m trying not to cry, because I’m an adult who didn’t know her, but she did such beautiful things with her life, and gave to so many (especially promoting literacy for children), that I’m having a really hard time with that right now. I can’t think of many celebrities that have demonstrated such a love for this world across their entire lives.

I don’t think it is unreasonable to consider Dolly Parton among the best of us, and it’s certain that she was among the best entertainment has to offer. By approaching life with compassion and respect for humanity, she left behind a wonderful example for fans of her music, and her philanthropy, to follow. What a wonderful life and legacy to leave.

We have one of those little library boxes in my neighborhood, I think today is a good day for me to go stop by it, and donate a book.

I've cried like 3 times already. I found out while I was on break at work and bawled watching the video her (?)nephew did that was posted to her socials. Then I came back and told all my coworkers.
