Joining the chorus of stars mourning the loss of legend Dolly Parton, the You’re Still The One singer took to social media on Tuesday to express herself:

“Dolly was pure light sent from heaven. My mentor is gone. My songwriting teacher and hero of grace and humility. There is a hole in my heart but the joy of just the thought of her smile will continue to fill me with inspiration for as long as I live. I will cherish this moment performing Coat Of Many Colors with Dolly forever. Goodbye Dolly. Rest in peace, beautiful angel.” 

She paired her thoughts with a video of a throwback duet she performed with Dolly. So beautiful.
