Dottie Rambo Killed In Automobile Accident

Singer-songwriter Joyce Dottie Rambo has left us and the world after she was brought to the Lord when the bus she was travelling in on Sunday morning crashed near Mount Vernon on the Interstate 44. In an uncanny relation to the gospel music that Dottie Rambo represented, she was the only passenger in the crashing bus that has been reported to not survive the accident. There were seven other fellow passengers in the bus who were heading towards Dottie Rambo's concert in North Richland, Texas to celebrate Mother's Day but all survived the horrible accident although all of them suffered injuries, but thankfully none were fatal. The automobile accident also brings to mind how we should all be careful when driving, as car and bus accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. It is a shock to me as I have just recently bought a car and hope that I will always drive safely and avoid car accidents like the ones which Dottie Rambo unfortunately suffered.

Unfortunately, only Dottie Rambo suffered fatal wounds and true to the musical work that she worked her whole life for, she will now be brought to the heavens to be her God's angel. Dottie Rambo was a widely published gospel musician, with official discography that included nearly 3,000 songs in her repertoire. Everyone will remember the gospel hit from 1982 "We Shall Behold Him", which Dottie Rambo would not have realised would eventually be what she would do this fateful day. There is some sadness tinged with gladness that while Dottie Rambo might no longer be with us anymore, she will now be with the entity whom she did so much work for and represented well.

Those who loved Dottie Rambo and her songs, please keep her and her family in your prayers. Those who do not know her, realise that Dottie Rambo was a good and kind hearted person, and will be remembered for years to come in the gospel music scene. She touched the hearts and minds of many, and was a very real person. Rest in peace, Dottie Rambo.
