Conflicting reports early on left me wondering whether or not she suffered. I found out just a few hours later that she passed away instantly. Dottie most likely did not fall out of a bunk, as they typically leased star coaches with a seperate bedroom for her in the back. This made it much easier on her to dress, and climbing in and out of bunks wouldn't be practical for a person with her health issues. With that said, this is probably why she is no longer with us. If she were in a bunk she would have been held in place a little better. In a full/queen sized bed in the back she would've had nothing to keep her in the bed when the bus left the road.

Dottie's managers wife Judy has stated that a big gust of wind forced the bus off the road. Larry has been taken to a private room in ICU and is stable. Ronnie (bus driver) is now stable as well but still in critical care. Chris is very much still in need of prayer, he is still in bad condition.

Someone commented about the bus not looking that bad, in the picture posted on this site, you can't see more than 5% of the actual damage of the bus. The entire front end of the bus is bent from the frame in an upward direction. You can definately tell the that bus hit the embankment at full speed.

Remember to keep in prayer, everyone involved. Larry and Judy are completely grief stricken. Ronnie and Chris as I understand still don't know that Dottie has passed. Larry was not only a manager to Dottie, he and his wife truely loved her as family. Many will never know the sacrifice and dedication they have put into making Dotties last 10yrs as great as possible.

I will be attending the service on Monday, is anyone else going?

Dellperson,

Unless something weird happens at work (and that has been happening a lot lately) I plan on being at the funeral.

Just look for the big fat guy with thick glasses!

Do you live in Nashville? If so what church do you attend?

She was an awesome lady with some mighty anointed abilities. The world will miss such a great lady.

Good post, LC...

I have to leave out of town again early tomorrow morning but will see what I can find out. I might not be able to find out and post until Friday.

If Pianoperson sees your question I am sure he can find out.

from reba and dony's church web-site:

We have received several inquiries about whether or not we will be video taping or have live streaming video of the Home-going Celebration. We have not secured arrangements yet, but we are working toward doing that. If it is possible for us to do either, we will be posting that information online as soon as it comes available.

Thank you for your patience.
