It's hard to estimate how much she's done for east TN and Sevierville in particular but id bet good money its more than any of our politicians could claim :(

May the Imagination Library live forever

RIP Dolly.

Quite literally one of the nicest, most genuine people ever to walk this earth. Sad day.

Lindsay Ellis put out a Nebula Original video on Parton a few days ago. It's a solid watch.

Listening to Will the Circle Be Unbroken. Trying not to focus on what we lost, but celebrating what we had.

So which billionaire/politician/war lord dies to offset this tremendous loss?
