Dolly Parton remembers her close friend (and fellow Capricorn) Naomi Judd two days after her shocking death. On Monday, the country legend shared a note addressed to the daughters of Judd Winona and Ashley, where she expressed her condolences while celebrating the introduction of Judd in the Hall of Fame of country music.
“I was so shocked to hear about Naomi’s death. Naomi and I were close. We were very similar. We were both the same age as Capricorn, “she wrote. “We liked the big hair, the make-up and the music. I’ve always loved Ashley, Winona and Naomi. “

Parton then discussed her absence from the Country Hall of Fame induction ceremony, adding that “now I hear Naomi say, ‘Oh, well, one day late and a little Dolly.’ She concluded the note: “Congratulations and condolences are in order. Just know that I will always love you. “
Although Parton and Judd never made music together, Parton appeared in the 1995 mini-series Naomi & Wynonna: Love Can Build a Bridge. Ralph Emery.
Last year, Naomi appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live to talk about her friend Parton. I’ve seen Dolly naked! Naomi laughed. “Can I just say that her symbol is the butterfly?” She really has a butterfly tattoo … She’s my friend. She said, “If you’re as old as me, the less makeup and more underwear you wear.”
Naomi, who formed Judd with her daughter Winona, died of suicide at the age of 76 on Saturday after suffering from crippling depression for years.
The mother-daughter duo last performed at the CMT Awards last month, singing “Love Can Build a Bridge” for reconciliation and support.
“We really need each other,” Naomi told CMT last month. “So, if I can write a damn song that makes people, just for a beat, stop and think about how blessed they are … What I know for sure is that we are built into our brains to need out of love and support and a sense of community. ”
