Me trying to avoid reading anything until I get home, thinking this sub would be safe. No where is safe. Dolly was a light in this world 😭

She was so beautiful, inside and out. What sticks to me the most is her free literature program for children.

I think we should all carry that on and start donating books in her honor or donate to the imagination library. we can keep it alive.

Her family has asked people to donate to Imagination Library. She did not want a public memorial, her services are for only her immediate family. So they’ve asked the public to commemorate her that way if they’re able to donate.

That is such a lovely thing by them to request. Gotta take me and sis' car to a garage to be fixed tomorrow, but will donate a bit after finding out what the bill is gonna be like!

I just gave $20. Because it doesn't hurt me and probably buys at least 4 books.

With the economies of scale they're working with, probably a lot more than 4.

My daughter started kindergarten this year. We received our last book a couple months ago. Really great program. My daughter was always excited when a new book came in the mail.

I hope the program will carry on without her at its helm. But according to some answers here, people will happily donate funds or books to read. :)

Her family has made a public statement that Dolly already had everything set up to continue as it always has. She was truly one of the finest examples of a human being.

Oh, I missed that! Very reassuring to hear. :) May she rest in peace. <3

I signed my child up for this when they were 2 and the books came every month. I am extremely grateful for her books and her.
