Dolly Parton posted some thoughts on her Twitter about the passing of her good friend and collaborator Mac Davis, who died Tuesday (9/29) after heart surgery in Nashville.

Dolly wrote, “Many hearts are broken today, including my own, with the death of one of my dearest friends, Mac Davis. We lost one of the world’s greatest writers, singers, and entertainers.”

She added, “My love and sympathy goes out to Lisë, his precious wife, his children, and his grandchildren. Rest in peace, my friend. I will always love you, Dolly.”
