Dottie.... We love you.... I can not accept this as truth.......

Hi All My OH Friends.....     I heard some terrible news yesterday afternoon that I can not accept....   I was told that Dottie Rambo died in a tour bus crash yesterday.....    I will never accept this and I am just devastated......  She has been a musical Icon for me for many many years....   I have posted a picture below of my daughter Heather with Dottie....This picture was taken over 10 years ago...  My baby is grown and now lives out in the world on her own...   Heather had the opportunity to be with Dottie and Heather is an exceptional key board player..  Their time together is priceless.....   They connected and Heather had to be the one to tell me yesterday...   OMG,...  My heart hurts.....

Yes it was sad news.  I saw her several yrs ago and she testified that the only time she was not in pain in her body was when she was ministering under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  She was an inspiration to many..  I loved the song "We Shall Behold Him" and we know that truly she is in God's presence today, beholding the face of her Lord and Creator... the one she served her life with.  Til the very end. 

Thank you.

Trina Dottie lived a long life, and she helped so many people.  We are very selfish in that as humans, we always want our loved ones to be here with us, often even though they are in pain.  But the unselfish part of us should let them go. It's hard but she is in a better place than we are! She is shouting and dancing in the castles of heaven and here we are stuck in the slums and projects of life! I guess that would help make it easier to look at.

Thank You.

Trina,   I have to agree with Melinda, its the circle of life sweetie.  We can't stay here forever we all have to go "home" sometime.  You need to think of all the good she did while here with us and that she had a full life and it was time for her to rest and not hurt. 

Thank you..

 I am so sorry for you Trina......I Loved Dottie Rambo because she wrote the songs that MY idol sang...Vestal Goodman. I had the chance to see Vestal's grave while in Nashville....But I can tell you how to ease the hurt....Our Bible tells us not to mourn-for it is a celebration when a saint enters home.Remember the song Dottie wrote Hills of Home? I sing that alot at church.As I write to you now, I can envision both Dottie and Vestal singing along......walking with Jesus......Do you remember the song?                              This house of flesh is but a prison; bars of bone hold my soul                              But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open                              When the Angels set my spirit free....                              Ill take my flight like a mighty eagle                              When the hills of home start calling me..... No it is not them we should mourn, but they us-----they are safe in his hands and awaiting our arrival.Much love to you Trina.....Be Blessed....~~Miss Paula

Trina, First off, let me say I am sorry you are hurting.... God is indeed a God of mercy and love and I believe He showered Dottie with both...she could've been struck down with cancer, MS, etc. and suffered a long, terrible death...God spared her of that by taking her abruptly...chances are at that time of morning she probably was sleeping when the accident happened.  She may not have been in her lazy boy chair but I can assure you she was right where she wanted to be.  She died doing what she loved...living  and singing for her Lord!  I lost my dad back in October unexpectedly..he died in his sleep following an allergic reaction to some medicine given to him..it is not easy letting someone go...but I had always prayed that when God decided to take my parents that they wouldn't suffer...it is so much easier on the family when they don't have to see their loved ones suffer..I know he is in heaven and I wouldn't bring him back to this ole world if I could...he longed to be there and so did Dottie...she is singing in that heavenly choir now and is no longer in pain...I will pray that God will ease your pain and that you can see what a true blessing her passing this way really was....God bless you!
