Dolly Parton continues to mourn the death of her husband, Carl Dean.

Two days after the three-hour program Opry 100: A Live Celebration aired live on Wednesday, March 19, featuring a star-studded performance of “I Will Always Love You,” Parton, 79, responded to the accolade in an Instagram Stories post.

“I have not stopped crying over the beautiful tribute of ‘I Will Always Love You’ on the 100th Anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry show,” Parton tweeted on Friday, March 21.

“The emotional impact of hearing so many people sing my song in honor of my husband Carl was overwhelming.” “I’ve cried enough to wash a lot of the pain away, so thank you to all of you beautiful people who made that possible,” she said. “I also will always love you.”

Parton announced Dean’s death on Instagram on Monday, March 3. He was eighty-two years old.

While the cause of death was not immediately known, Parton’s statement stated that he would be put to rest in a private ceremony attended by his closest family.

“Carl and I had many lovely years together. Words cannot express the love we have shared for more than 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathies.” The family wishes for privacy during this difficult time,” she added.

Prior to the special performance of “I Will Always Love You,” which was led by Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood of Lady A, Reba McEntire, and Carrie Underwood, a message from Parton was aired.

“Hello, my name is Dolly Parton, and I am a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry.” And I’m so sorry I can’t be there with everyone in person, but you know my heart and soul are with you,” Parton said in the video, according to the Knox News Sentinel. According to the publication, the performance featured around 50 Grand Ole Opry members.

During a chat with the Knox News Sentinel during the opening ceremony for Dollywood’s 40th season, Parton stated she was “doing better than I thought I would” following Dean’s death, saying that she is “at peace that he’s at peace,” but it won’t stop her from “missing him and loving him.”

Dean “suffered a great deal,” she remarked, before adding that there’s “a hole in my heart, you know, but we’ll fill it up with good stuff and he’ll still always be with me.”
