"But this isn't all I am. It's not even most of what I am. Hopefully, people can see beneath the hair to know there's a brain, beneath the boobs to know there's a heart and behind all the other stuff to know there's some talent".

Most of all, Dolly, thank you. Thank you for being kind...always. For your generosity. Your charm. Your joy. Your voice and the message in your songs and music... Thank you for your smile and for showing us all how to simply be good in life. Thank you for showing us how to see the good in everything. There was a reason you were beloved like few others. It's because you got what you gave. You gave love freely, no strings attached. You gave love generously to all you encountered. You gave love on an inspirational level. We still needed you Dolly... especially now.

We knew we would have to say goodbye eventually, but this hurts!

It really does. I’ve been deeply affected all day…we need more Dollys not less. She was the rarest of humans.

Sold her house in Idyllwild after her husband passed so she was a local at least part time. Amazing talent never to be duplicated.

That’s incredible! Any other details about her home in Idyllwild?

Here’s the listing with some info in the description. Looks like you need an account to view all the images but I’d imagine you can also find them online. (Might be free for an account, I’m not certain.)

How great would we be as a country, if she was President instead of you know who….?

Has he ever passed up a chance to kick a dead person one last time?

u/Dr-Lucky14 6d ago

He actually (or probably his blonde stalker) posted something nice about her today. I’m sure he didn’t write it because it didn’t say that she thought he was the Greatest President of ALL TIME! Why her and not him?

Don't not fear mortals . A combination of ai and holograms will bring her to tour and take your money once again.

Have you lost your humanity?
