[...] Dottie Rambo passes away in bus crash. If she had died of natural causes, I might not have ranked it as the year’s top story. But the suddenness of the crash sent shock waves through the SG community. [...]

As her song says, “Mamma’s teaching angels how to sing”. May the Lord bring comfort to Reba and the rest of the family.

Yes when I heard the news last night it was a shock, but I also had to rejoice. What great songs she brought to many. When she sang you could feel the very presence of Christ in her songs. Love & prayers to Reba and her family at this sad time. She was a Lady that lived what she wrote. She will be missed!!

She was one of God’s great champions!! She will be missed….but I do know this for a fact, she is now “Beholding Him” and in His loving care!! Her songs will keep inspiring many…Her gift of songs comes from a place of heaven that she has left for us here…the choir of heaven just added a great one to the fold!!!

Something to add…Mark Lowry reported on his website that he spoke today with Reba Rambo and said that Dottie was asleep in the back lounge of the bus when the accident occured. Upon reading this, I was immediately reminded of the words of Dottie’s sweet song, “Sheltered In The Arms Of God.” How beautiful and profound these words are.

“I’ll fall asleep
And wake in God’s sweet heaven
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God.

So let the storm clouds rage high,
The dark clouds rise,
They don’t bother me;
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God.
He walks with me,
And naught of earth shall harm me,
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God.”

What tragic, heartbreaking news! Dottie was such a beautiful and remarkable person. We’ve all been so blessed by her and her music ministry for years. What a blessing it is to know that Dottie is with her Lord whom she loved and wrote so beautifully about. We’ve lost a dear, dear woman in the Southern Gospel with, but Praise God for the wonderful legacy she leaves!

I just got home to find this news and it is definitely a sad day for Southern Gospel fans but I am glad that Dottie is no longer suffering. After letting this sink in, the Lord impressed me to pray for Reba. I don’t know what their plans were for today but God’s ways are not always ours. Father, wrap Your arms around Reba and comfort her during this trying time.
