In her heartfelt tribute on Instagran, Fonda acknowledged the grief being felt by Parton’s millions of fans while reminding them that the singer’s presence will continue through her music, films, philanthropy and the memories she created. From her iconic songs and Dollywood to her work in 9 to 5 and her efforts to put millions of books into children’s hands, Fonda said Parton’s legacy remains woven into the lives and hearts of people around the world. “Let’s be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now.
