Breast in peace.
She's with her old friend Kenny Rogers ❤
I never knew she had cancer OMG! May she have a beautiful transition, one as beautiful as she is❤
WAIT? DID YOU SAY CANCER?
My heart is heavy as I humbly ask for help. I lost everything because of the war and now struggle to care for the children I fled with. We urgently need food, safe shelter, clothing, and other basic necessities. We are simply trying to survive, protect the children, and rebuild our lives. Any support, no matter how small, would mean more than words can express. May God bless you. 🙏❤️
RIP Dolly🙏
Do not be flying the US flag at half staff for Dolly Parton unless we fly out it halfstaff for every celebrity who die. Donald Trump didn’t wanna lower the flag for legit heroes who died, like John Lewis. This guy sucks so bad and Dolly Parton wouldn’t want this. God I hate Donald Trump with all of my heart and soul with every molecule in my body.
An American treasure. A model for always acting like a lady, for aging gracefully and for making us happy. By Dolly. Go with God. 🇺🇸🇺🇸💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸
she actually cared about us all, everyone everywhere
Thank you for your music ❤️🕊️
R.I.P 🙏
Beautiful SOUL. REST IN PEACE, DOLLY.
Gonna so miss her
beautiful heart Dolly
She was a great human.
RIP

Hannibal Directive of Oct 2023 to create ground for the Palestine genocide :
– TerrZR (Terrorist Zio regime) let the attack happen on the own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened.
– Music festival was organised, with lot of foreigners, just 3 miles away from the border.
– Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen.
– Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used terrorist entity IOF to increase the casualties in the music festival.
R,I.P queen we will always miss you 🩷
Hey, Grim Reaper, we said "Donnie" not "Dolly"!
The most beautiful celebrity out there and an even more beautiful wife, sister, daughter and friend. She had the kindest soul, and she will be truly missed. Love you, Dolly 🎉
The one and only American Queen 💔
Peace and light, Dolly.
Allow me to preface this by saying I don't believe in celebrity . I don't believe we should be making certain individuals famous. That being said, Dolly Parton is one of those rare celebrities that actually walked her talk. She reached out to those less fortunate than her. She reached out with a hand of compassion and empathy. She truly was one of the best of us.
A great spirit – the world is better for you being with us. Thank you Dolly – you'll be missed.
I've got no idea who that guy is who is stumbling over his words and saying very little.
Californian here.
Gross. Only in 'Donnies America'……..
Putting the flag at half staff…….
True American heros, no. Movie stars, yes.
Nothing against Mrs. Parton here, but…………..really???? Now?????
Right in line with present day America…..tactless, tasteless, and completely missing the mark.
America is Titanic, alone in the North Atlantic……sinking, without anything to be done it seams. Tomorrow she'll be just a little deeper in the frigid waters.
Lifeboats??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nah, they cut the funding for those quarter one.
Buckle up America….the final 2 are going to get scary.
Thanks BBC News.

US flags were not lowered when they accidentally bombed a girls school and killed 168 girls!
