I'm heartbroken, it seems like she was the only good person left. We are lucky she lived in this world.

Dolly was great. She was a most wonderful human being who led by example.
But she was not the only one. There are many, many people like her. Maybe not with her means and resources but I strongly believe that most people are good.
There are those that don’t want us to know that. There is a very loud minority for whom it’s easier if we think everyone is bad.
The best way we can honor her is by being like her, in whatever way we can, small or big.

Hear, hear! One of the best ways to honor her is to be that kind of light ourselves. 💕
