“Simply put, Dolly Parton was an American original. She was an inspiration to millions. She was a relentless advocate for women and for equality. Through her Imagination Library, she placed the gift of reading into the hands of millions of children because she understood literacy is the foundation of opportunity,” Biden wrote on X.
“But perhaps most importantly, Dolly treated everyone with kindness and respect. She lived her values with a flair and vitality for life that was uniquely her own,” he continued. “She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word, and she will be missed by millions around the world.”
“Jill and I are keeping her family, her friends, and her millions of fans in our prayers. God bless Dolly Parton,” Biden, a devout Catholic, concluded.
Parton passed away yesterday at the age of 80 due to cancer.
Biden’s heartfelt message is especially touching because we know he’s dealing with his own thoughts about life and death.Last year, he shared that he has a serious type of prostate cancer.Even with that, he focused his goodbye to Parton on her life and legacy.
Meanwhile, Trump posted a weak message on Truth Social about Parton’s death and later said she “really liked” him, which seems very unlikely.
Parton was a true Christian who believed in loving and respecting everyone, including the LGBTQ community.She wasn’t a religious leader who used her faith to attack others.She followed the teachings of Jesus Christ.She will be greatly missed.
