“Thank you all for bearing with me as I mourn the death of my big sister,” Freida wrote on Facebook on Saturday. “I know to the entire world, she was a superstar, but to me, she was my Dolly Momma.”
The 69-year-old continued, “She was the sister who would climb into bed with me when I was little because we were both afraid of the dark. She was the woman who stepped up and became my Momma, raising me from ages 13 to 18. She was the one who tried to convince me to wear her wigs at my shows in Dollywood (sorry, sister, but I definitely didn’t listen to you on that one).”
