Country music legend Dolly Parton paid tribute to Naomi Judd on Monday and called for both congratulations and condolences regarding the life of the fellow music icon.
"I was so shocked to hear about Naomi's passing," the Grammy Award winner wrote in a statement posted to social media.
"Naomi and I were close. We were very similar. We were the same age and both Capricorns. We loved big hair, makeup and music. I have always loved Ashley, Wynonna and Naomi. They've always been like sisters to me," she said.
