I'm going to miss her voice, her laugh, her hugs, and just knowing she was there."She referred to Parton as "granny" and wrote: "Because she couldn't have kids of her own, she always made us feel like we were hers. She loved us that way, and I'll forever be grateful for that."Lainey also remembered how Parton had supported her through beauty school, explaining: "She didn't just tell me to chase my dreams, she helped me get there."She thanked those who have sent messages and flowers."I feel incredibly lucky that I got to call her my granny," she added.
