And I’m truly sorry I can’t be there, but I sure wanted to take the chance to say thank you for this incredible honor.”
Parton also thanked her Dollywood companions, Jack and Peter Herschend, for serving to make her goals come true, saying, “I trust them, and they trust me, and they always listen when I come in with one of my big ideas and dreams.

Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here.”

“I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt, where I’m kind of having a few treatments here and there,” she said. “But I needed you to know that I’m not dying.
“But anyway, there’s just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was OK,” she concluded. “So anyhow, that’s what I wanted to say, and I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me and I ain’t done working. I love you for caring and keep praying for me.”
