Country singer Dolly Parton revealed how she’s dealing with the Death of her friends Loretta Lynn, Naomi Judd and Kenny Rogers.
On Thursday, Dolly Parton sat down in an interview with the “Today” show and spoke about losing the fellow country music stars, whom she referred to as “three of my dearest people in the business.”
“With Loretta, she was very dear to me, like a sister. Same with Naomi. We were (the) same age, and we loved the same things. And I loved her. And then I also lost Kenny Rogers — three of my dearest people in the business, in a very short period of time,” she said.
Dolly Parton added she “grieves over them almost like you do a family member” and continues to think about them, but tries to “keep the good memories.”
“There’s that old song ’Precious Memories’ the line I love in that song is ‘Precious memories, unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul’ and I think about that. Those precious memories,” she said. “They just flow in and out of you, and you remember special things about them.”
