Mourning the Death of A Legend


I am shocked and in mourning after reading: "Joyce "Dottie" Rambo, an influential gospel singer and songwriter, died early Sunday when her tour bus ran off the highway and struck an embankment. She was 74." in the news this morning.

Just before bed last night, I watched this remarkable woman on TBN as a tribute was paid to her on Mother's Day. She was ailing from back problems and said that appearance was the first time she hadn't used a wheelchair or crutches. She prayed to the Lord for strength to make it on His power. HE answered her prayer.

This remarkable woman and songstress of the Lord looked beautiful. She sang with the anointing and testified about how she was given the lyrics for the song about the Rose of Sharon. When asked by Paul Crouch when she makes it to Heaven she and Mom Crosby will have a glorious time, her words filled my eyes with tears.

Now they are filled with tears at her the news of her death but she would want us to rejoice. She is with her Father and singing with Mom Crosby.

Our condolences and prayers to her family.
