Dolly will always live on in our hearts. What an amazing American. We got to be alive at the same time as she was with us.

Living in East TN these past years and attending Dollywood many times have given me a respect for her story and impact. I was honestly, genuinely shocked when I saw the headline.

She was a friggin Living Saint ,and I'm not even a religious person.

She has a program where she sends little kids books for free. We've got a few from her and my kids always look forward to it. RIP.

We signed our kids up for the Imagination Library program and they got those books from her up till age 5. What a great person who truly used their gifts to make the world a better place.

I guess it shouldn't be too big a surprise but Wikipedia says she wrote over 3000 songs, one of the most prolific song writers of all time.

One of the few people I've never heard a disparaging word about.
