Dolly Parton Broken Hearted Over Death of Whitney Houston

"Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston," country icon Dolly Parton writes in a statement to The Boot. "I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'"

The pop singer, who died Saturday at the age of 48, took Dolly's 'I Will Always Love You' to the top of the pop charts in 1992 --18 years after it was a No. 1 country hit for Dolly. Whitney's version was on the Grammy-winning soundtrack to her movie, 'The Bodyguard.'

The cause of Whitney's death is not yet known. Click here for full coverage on the loss of the pop legend.

My dearest sweet Whitney,
I always loved your music, but when I met you at the Shore Club in Miami Beach, having the priviledge to Massage you, I totally fell in love with your beautiful personality and natural beauty.
I just know that you are where you belong: in the beast of hands, where I hope to be one day, meeting you again; like millions of fellow human beings: I love you !

But Dolly made a ton of money this weekend as songwriter of that song. Everytime it was performed or played....money in her plastic surgery fund!

R.I.P. Whitney Houston, My prayers are with her Family and Dear Friends. She was a wonderful woman and what a loss to so many people she touched.

Famous Icons like Dolly are showing the love for a fallen star and It brings me comfort to know that she was respected as an artist. From a true fan, a final farewell:

At least Celine Dion is smart enough to stay away from drugs.
