Dolly was one of those people who it felt like she would just always be here.
She gave us incredible music, plenty of laughs, and a whole lot of sparkle, but what I admired most was her heart. The Imagination Library alone has touched the lives of so many children and families.
And “Coat of Many Colors” has always been my all-time favorite story. ❤️ It was never just a song to me. It was a story about a mother’s love, being proud of where you came from, and understanding that the things made with love can be worth more than anything money could ever buy. That story has always stuck with me.
Rest easy, Dolly. The world is a little less sparkly without you. 💗
Your music will live on, your stories will live on, and generations of children will continue turning the pages of the beautiful legacy you left behind. 📚🦋
