Stella Parton is remembering sister Dolly on social media.

Stella is an outspoken liberal whose daily social media posts are very entertaining. She can also really sing — see below. It’s in the genes.

Stella says, Dolly was “One of the most generous, thoughtful, and kind people I’ve ever known.” She adds that Dolly told her she’d try experimental drugs even if there was no hope for her, just to help others in the future.

Dolly Parton is heading for sainthood at this point. God bless.
