SEE IT: Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and country music world react to death of Loretta Lynn

“60 years of Opry membership, countless memories, songs and stories. Our Opry family turns to music when words fail. Thank you for all you’ve given to the Opry, @LorettaLynn, We love you,” a tweet from the venue said.

“So sorry to hear about my sister, friend Loretta,” Dolly Parton tweeted. “We’ve been like sisters all the years we’ve been in Nashville and she was a wonderful human being, wonderful talent, had millions of fans and I’m one of them. I miss her dearly as we all will. May she rest in peace.”

Fellow country diva Reba McEntire took to Instagram to share a tribute.

“Mama and Loretta Lynn were four years apart, Mama being the oldest. They always reminded me a lot of each other. Strong women, who loved their children and were fiercely loyal.

Now they’re both in Heaven getting to visit and talk about how they were raised, how different country music is now from what it was when they were young. Sure makes me feel good that Mama went first so she could welcome Loretta into the hollers of heaven!

I always did and I always will love Loretta. She was always so nice to me. I sure appreciate her paving the rough and rocky road for all us girl singers,” McEntire wrote.

“Terrible news about Loretta Lynn passing away… Prayers to her family,” Blake Shelton tweeted.

“It’s so hard to feel like you have the right words. I can hear Loretta saying ‘just take your time honey’. 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. I know how much she missed Doo, her son and daughter, her mommy and daddy, Patsy, Tammy, Conway…she is back with them now. I can imagine her big beautiful smile and how happy her soul must be for that. She ended every phone call the same way…’I love you honey’. I love you too Loretta. I love you too,” Martina McBride wrote alongside a photo with Lynn on Instagram.

“Very sad news this morning … LORETTA LYNN has gone home … Great Britain lost their Queen … now we have lost ours … Rest easy ma’am. You were loved all … #RIPLorretta,” the Oak Ridge Boys tweeted.

“She was an inspiration. R.I.P. Loretta Lynn,” wrote Carole King.

Billy Ray Cyrus shared an album cover autographed by Lynn in his tribute.

“Celebrating the life of Loretta Lynn. One of my highest honors was being joined by her and George Jones on a song I wrote called ‘Country Music Has The Blues’. She handed me this wonderful gift on that day. #lorettalynn,” Cyrus tweeted.
