NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV/Gray News) – Dolly Parton’s sister is clearing the air and clarifying her prayer request.
Freida Parton said she “didn’t mean to scare anyone” when she asked for prayers for Dolly Parton on Tuesday.
“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious. She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer,” Freida Parton said on Facebook. “It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”
Freida Parton had earlier shared that she had been “up all night praying” for her sister, Dolly Parton.
“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me,” Freida Parton wrote on Facebook. “She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”
Dolly Parton recently postponed her Las Vegas residency to focus on her health.
“It must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” she said in a statement.
Her Las Vegas residency is now scheduled for next September.
