Today we lost Dolly Parton — a voice that shaped American music for six decades and a fearless advocate for children.

As our Gov. MLG noted, "New Mexico benefited tremendously from Dolly’s extraordinary generosity. In our state, her Imagination Library launched in 2010 with eight kids in Grant County. Today, nearly 2 million books have been distributed to New Mexico’s youngsters because one woman believed a book in the hands of a child could change everything."

Thank you for everything, Ms. Dolly. Your gifts -including to our kids- will keep on giving, for generations.
