It's been an emotional rollercoaster for Dolly Parton this month. Her husband, Carl Dean, passed away on March 3, less than two weeks later she was back at work celebrating the 40th anniversary of the opening of Dollywood, then (though she wasn't on hand), the "Opry100" live broadcast celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry involved a special performance aimed specifically at Dolly and her late husband. At the end of the broadcast, a choir of the biggest and brightest talents in Nashville took to the stage in tribute, to perform Dolly's "I Will Always Love You," and Dolly was emotional watching it. On her Instagram Stories, Dolly wrote, "I have not stopped crying over the beautiful tribute of ‘I Will Always Love You’ on the 100th Anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry show. All those beautiful people with all their beautiful voices singing my song as a tribute to my husband Carl… the emotion was beyond words. I have cried enough to wash a great deal of the pain away so thanks to all of you beautiful people that helped make that possible," her statement continued. "I also will always love you."
