What sucks about getting older. You see people you grew up with passing away. First Hayden Panettiere and now Dolly Parton.

My mom dragged my sister and I to see “Straight Talk” in theaters in 1992. I was 10 years old. That’s when I was introduced to her. That theme song was funny.

And, she got better with age.

If there's anyone who can lay claim to 'universally loved", I think it's her.

As someone said on social media, you could make an argument that just before she died, she was the greatest living American.

I've never been a big fan of country music but Dolly is one of those awesome people who are much bigger than their chosen field of endeavor. Total class act. She's one of those people like Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, who transcends genres and just makes everyone happy. Is there anything in life more important than that? The Pope should make both Satchmo and Dolly saints.

Godspeed, Queen. Such a graceful lady. We won't see her like again.
