We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dolly Parton, a true legend whose talent, kindness, and influence touched millions. Parton's legacy began in a similar fashion to Pat Summitt's, on a farm in a small town in Tennessee, but this did not stop her from becoming one of the most iconic faces and voices of an entire generation. Dolly used her platform to change the lives of countless individuals, making a positive impact on the lives of those around her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time. 🦋
