“This is a love note for family, friends and fans. Thank you for all the messages, cards and flowers that you have sent to present your respect for the loss of my beloved husband Carl,” Parton wrote. “I can’t personally communicate with each of you, but I only know what the world has meant for me.”
“He is in the arms of God now and I agree with that. I will always love you, Parton continued, pointing to his 1973 success song I will always love you.
