I remember watching Dolly on Saturday afternoons on the Porter Waggoner Show. And as news of her passing fills the airwaves and social media, the folks here in East Tennessee are devastated. "Dolly was a legend" doesn't begin to describe what she meant to the world. Her kindness, her acceptance, her generosity, her faith, her love of life and all the blessings and hardships she weathered....the world was so much better with her in it. She is at rest, but selfishly we could have used her brilliant life for a little while longer.
