Fans were quick to react to the post, with many mourning Dolly and sharing emotional tributes in the comments. However, it is not clear who is currently running Parton's social media accounts following her death. Still, the message shared on her accounts came as a comforting note to fans who are still grieving her loss.
For those unaware, several months before Parton's death, the legendary singer re-recorded her hit 'Light of a Clear Blue Morning.' The singer-songwriter was joined by Miley Cyrus, Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire, and Queen Latifah for the recording as part of her 80th birthday celebration, as per People.
The track was released on January 16, with all proceeds donated to benefit pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.
In an interview with People, Parton shared, “I wrote 'Light Of a Clear Blue Morning' during a season when I was searching for hope, and 50 years later that message still feels just as true.”
She added, “As I celebrate my 80th birthday, this new version is my way of using what I've been blessed with to shine a little light forward, especially by sharing it with some truly incredible women.”
