A fellow legend in the genre, Dolly Parton, posted a statement on social media, which began, "So sorry to hear about my sister, friend Loretta."

Singer Martina McBride posted on her verified Instagram account a throwback photo of her and Lynn.
"It's so hard to feel like you have the right words. I can hear Loretta saying 'just take your time honey,'" McBride wrote in the caption. "We all loved her so much. There will never be another like her. I am so grateful that I got to know her, to spend time with her, laugh with her.....I was always a little astonished when she called me her friend."
