Washington, DC -- In response to the tragic passing of Dolly Parton, People For President Svante Myrick released the following statement:
Everyone loved Dolly Parton. And she deserved it. Her heart was as big as her talent. She was abundantly generous in her support for literacy. She was a model for women charting their own course. She was a consistent voice for a culture of acceptance and inclusion. We join with Dolly's millions of fans in mourning the loss of this joyful and giving spirit.
