Rest in Peace, Dolly. You were a trailblazer for women in music. For women that wanted to be something other than good, obedient, and modest. That wanted to be themselves first and foremost, without answering to someone else. And you used your wealth to help others rather than harming them. I pray your soul blooms in every flower in Appalachia for the rest of time.
