"I'm sorry you are not feeling good," Parton shares in the opening video. "I've loved you for years. I know you have often done my songs and I have heard you are a big fan. But we have something in common. We both believe in a higher power and we believe that through God, all things are possible. Keep praying and I will keep praying for you."

A recent post to her husband Rory's blog speaks to Joey's current condition. "Though now, she can no longer get out of bed - she is so sharp and clear and her pain, for the most part, is so under control by the medicine that talking to her - you would think she's her normal self. Thinner. Much thinner. And with a hip new hairdo. But she is beautiful. So so so beautiful. When God begins to take the light from the outside' the light inside just shines all that much brighter. It's amazing. She's amazing."
