Just a note:
Some people leave behind great music. Others leave behind an example of how to treat people. Dolly Parton somehow managed to do both. ❤️
She was funny, honest and outspoken, but there was always a sense of kindness beneath it all. Even when she had something critical to say, she delivered it with that famous smile, a laugh or a little giggle.
Through her Imagination Library, she also gave countless children the gift of books and a love of reading. That may be one of the most beautiful parts of her legacy.
Today, we’re simply taking a moment to remember a woman who brought so much joy, laughter and goodness into the world.
Rest well, Dolly. You made a HUGE difference in the lives of millions of families and more importantly, children. ❤️
