Country music superstar Dolly Parton, who was also an adviser on season nine of “The Voice,” is mourning the loss of a dear friend who was like a sister to her — fellow country music superstar Loretta Lynn, who died on October 4 at the age of 90.
Here is how Parton honored the passing of her late friend.

In an emotional Instagram post, Parton mourned the loss of the woman who was like a sister to her.
Parton wrote:
So sorry to hear about my sister, friend Loretta. We’ve been like sisters all the years we’ve been in Nashville and she was a wonderful human being, wonderful talent, had millions of fans and I’m one of them.
I miss her dearly as we all will. May she rest in peace.
That sentiment reflects a 2019 interview that Lynn gave with SiriusXM where she talked about her friendly competition with Parton in the country music world.
When asked who her biggest competition was, Lynn said, “I think maybe Dolly. You never know what Dolly is gonna do next.
