We received word this morning that Dottie Rambo was killed last night in a tour bus accident. Dottie was scheduled to appear at North Richland Hills, Texas at the Fountain Of Life Church at 10:30 AM with her dear friends Lulu Roman and Naomi Sego this morning, so we are assuming she was on route to Texas when the accident occurred.
We will post more info whrn it is received. Please be in prayer for the family at this time.

I was at Dotties concert in Granite City, lllinois last night. She was stronger in body and voice than she's been in for a long while. It was a very very wonderful concert. Christopher Ferguson also sang "Down by the River" with Miss Dottie. He's the young son of Dottie's manager, Larry and his wife. It was great. The weather was very bad most of the way back home to Springfield, Illinois.

Dottie was a great friend and I'll never forget the 2 hour interview she gave me for my 13 hour Elvis documentary. I was also very close to Larry. If anyone knows what hospital he is in, please e-mail me off line. Thanks

I am brokenhearted to hear of Dottie's going home to be with the Lord. She has been such an inspiration to me when I was a small child till now at the age of 49. She will be sorely missed in the southern gospel world. But what she left behind for us in her music is forevermore! Heaven is so much sweeter now with her presence. I will be praying for Reba and her family.

My heart is broken...but my soul rejoices! Dottie was my musical lifeline to Christ. Her songs have given me the strength to go on, to enjoy the blessings of God, and know that my Redeemer lives. As much as I and others loved her, HE loved her more. Goodbye Dottie...I never got to sing with you here, but just wait, we're gonna teach the angels how to sing. Bless you Reba and all of the family who remain. Please take comfort in the knowledge of love that we all had for our precious angel who NOW has truly earned her wings!

There is a voice missing here on earth as Heaven welcomes a friend of God who truly was the best at singing, playing, writing and inspiring so many! I look forward to hearing that song again in a more perfect way and for that I will press on "Until He Comes". Enjoy your day with the Lord, Dottie Rambo!
