Dolly Parton Offers Tender Message To Kelly Clarkson And Reba McEntire
HuffPost
Through her own experience with loss, Parton offered advice to those grieving.
Dolly Parton offered a tender message of solace to the loved ones of Brandon Blackstock, a talent manager who died from skin cancer last week at the age of 48.
Blackstock was the ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson and the former stepson of Reba McEntire.
Parton, who lost her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, in March, was asked by Entertainment Tonight on Monday if she had any words of comfort for Clarkson and McEntire. While she revealed she hasn’t yet had a chance to speak with them directly, her affection for both women was evident.
“I think that you just have to be grateful for the years that you’ve had with someone, and you just try to remember the very best of all that,” Parton said. “Take their energy that they had given you then, and you just kind of recycle that, and let that become a part of you. Just honor their memory and just know they’re in a better place than we are these days.”
