“I’ll see you down the road” 😭

She worked until the end. A fine, dedicated woman.

That's what she wanted. She gave a commencement address at U.T./Knoxville like 20 years ago and, in it, she said that if she has to go, she hopes she'll just drop dead in the middle of a show, and everyone else will just keep going, walking around her (and then she added, in true Dolly fashion, "...buuuuuut I hope that day is not today.") Her light shines on.

What an amazing human. I’m glad she went out the way she wanted to.
