God bless the life – the stories, the songs – that was and will always be Dolly Parton. I have quoted her in many a sermon. It is her voice I hear when I need to hear God speak those precious words: “I will always love you.”
Your witness to God’s love will continue to permeate this world when we sing your songs.
Rest in peace, dear prophet Dolly!

I could not help but to tear up when I heard that she had died. I was at a restaurant and they played Islands in the Stream! OMG. If the U.S. ever had a queen, she was it. Thank you, Dolly💜💝
