Whether you were a bass player at Dollywood or, you know, somebody rich and famous or whatever, she always, you know, really treated you like a real person.

Brent, I agree completely.

Every time we had the opportunity to work with her, she was so kind and so wonderful.

You'd have a, a set amount of time.

We would shoot commercials and, and video with her for promotion of Sevierville, and we would have a set time, maybe 30 minutes or so, to get all of the footage that we needed and, and everything, and then she would stay and do photos with the people who were there.

Um, it was really such an honor to get to meet her and just learn how...

She was really real, you know? She always said, "I'm real where it counts" and, and she, she truly was an incredible lady.

So that one thing that she did has changed the lives of thousands of people and changed that whole community forever.
