This is the news story that ran on WSMV in Nashville the evening after Dottie's fatal bus accident. She was dear to me. I recorded a live album for her just one week prior and we were also working on a studio album & a tribute album. She was truly a singer/songwriter legend. Thanks to Chris Tatum for such a great story.

May 19, 2008 - Dottie will be missed! Tears will never stain and He looked beyond my faults and saw my need as been such a great source of encouragement in my life. Now she is truly sheltered in the arms of God. We love this angel of a woman...may the Lord strengthen her dear family.

May 19, 2008 - Tears may never stain the streets of that city, but here we mourn the separation from Dottie. We look forward to the happy reunion when we all are gone home to be with Jesus. In the meantime, we'll keep playing your music, Dottie, and leaning on the hope of that faith you sang so much about.

May 29, 2008 - "A fool has said in his own heart, there is no God". . .I am sorry for you that you have difficulty in believing in Him. Someday you will realize that He is real-we all have an appointed time to leave this earth-this just happened to be Dottie's day to be called home. She was physically in pain but now she rests. I just hope that you find Him before your appointed time.

May 30, 2008 - You took the words right out of my mouth!!

SP567 Says:

Jun 1, 2008 - "IN THE VALLEY, HE RESTORETH MY SOUL." I've been singing it all day today. Just couldn't get it off my mind. It wouldn't go away. Finally, I stopped and thought about what the words were actually saying.Restoration only comes when you're in the valley. On the mountain top, you don't need to be restored. I've been in that valley for a while now. Now, it makes sense.

Jun 2, 2008 - Im truly shocked and saddened by this but I was blessed to see THE RAMBO FAMILY sing live in the 1960's there is no other songwriter that compares to this Woman of GOD

shelia95 Says:

Jun 3, 2008 - I am so shocked..I had no idea that she had passed..I was looking for vickie winans version of 'We shall behold him',when I found out..My prayers is with the family..I pray that God will give you the strength to make it.I love Some Dottie Rambo she will be missed!!

mynichols Says:

Jun 4, 2008 - Vickie's rendition is awesome, but it would most likely be Sandi Patty singing "We Shall Behold Him" at the funeral since she sang the song first. I miss her already.

hd28picker Says:

Jun 13, 2008 - Our ways are not His ways. We cannot understand, but we must trust. No one loved Dottie more than her creator. She walked through many a valley, but always came out on the other side victorious, and with a new song. Let her go now, go to her Father whom she served. Let Him comfort you, and all of us in this time of great loss. Absent from the body is present with The Lord. Reba, you came from great stock..so have the grand kids. Carry on, know you are loved and in our prayers.

DrusillaC Says:

Jun 22, 2008 - I didn't know Dottie had died. I'm truly shocked and saddened that she's gone, but her music will live on.

Jul 2, 2008 - Whatever happended to Buck?

philcobeam Says:

Jul 4, 2008 - If that the case couldnt he get while she was sleeping in her bed..Wake up people it all crap and it kills

revscott06 Says:

Jul 8, 2008 - He left Dottie for her secretary after cheating on her her repeatedly. Dottie never remarried and Buck married the lady he cheated with in 1994.

circlecityusa Says:

Jul 8, 2008 - I hope Buck is still performing. A marvelous talent. I am sure he has repented of his fornication and accepted Jesus once again after back sliding. Satan is like a roaring lion. Stand up church... jesus is coming soon.
