Here’s a story about how Garrett Wilson, with a small act of kindness, brought some light to a 17-year-old fan who had just recently experienced the loss of her best friend.
On their interaction after the Bears game, and what it meant to a grieving family:

Long overdue recognition for my pals @vanhaydenband, the world's greatest Hayden Fry + Van Halen tribute band
Monday through Friday, they fill prescriptions, write code, and restore historic homes.
On Saturdays in Iowa City, they put on white pants, aviators and fake mustaches, and become Van Hayden.
More on how the group became college football's most unique cover band ⤵️ spr.ly/6011BGfDe1

What a wonderful songwriter and singer Dolly was. She brought so many people together, we will all miss her so much.

These are the saddest words, shared by Dolly Parton’s nephew Bryan:
“Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents and countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens.” 😭😭😭😭😭😭

RIP @DollyParton . This photo was from a couple years ago when I was asked to do a special for her for her rock album in Nashville. Of all the interviews I’ve done and photos I have posted with people in my 43 years in the business, this one got the most response from everyone. RIP to a true icon and condolences to her family , friends and fans. More on @TrunkNationSXM at 3P ET @SIRIUSXM 103 or the app.

It's hard to imagine a more joyous artistic legacy than Dolly Parton's. To come from where she did, & to give back so relentlessly & lift up others so gracefully. Icon sells it short. A creative genius & as close as we can get to an actual saint. You'd hope she'd live forever.
