I'm not crying, but I've been leaky in the oculars and tight in the throat on and off. And my FB and here on Reddit are FLOODED with posts about her.

From Australia, she was loved here as well. Cannot recall anyone every having something nasty to say about that Stella women. May she rejoice with her Lord as we who are left feel little a little more joy has left the world.

wow..

just..

wow.

You know - he was right - even though I never met her - her actions made me feel she loved me.
There aren`t many celebrities that evoke that feeling.

The USA has just gotten a bit darker, and heavens choir now swings to Jolene - or perhaps they do Islands in the stream.

It's probably Coat of Many Colors or He's Alive that they're rocking too. Don't know how appropriate Jolene is for the heavenly crowd. 🤔 She does have her Islands In the Stream duet partner again.

“300 million books to children” Wow! Education is freedom and Dolly was and forever will be more than just music but a life well lived. Here’s to her and Carl being together

She was such a rare 💎 gem, that their are no gems like her.

u/Officialfunknasty 6d ago

This is why even though I only know a couple songs I still cried when I learned of her death. The world was a better place with her in it!

u/Commercial-Life-9998 5d ago

I enjoyed this. Jane Goodall was another that recently passed and affected pretty much everyone. Miss her.

Dolly was an icon. Someone who could do so much good and spread so much love. This little video is another example of why Kyle Clark is a treasure too. He has raised $19 million dollars for Colorado charities with his micro giving campaign, and always personally donates too! I have no doubt she would have loved his spunk and generosity.
