Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Gospel music lost one of the greatest writers today in an automobile accident. Dottie Rambo went home to be with the Lord.

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Two weeks after my beloved cocker spaniel Silky had to be put to sleep she came home in an urn.
She’s on my dresser with her hair clipping taken from her leg the day she died and her picture beside the urn.

For All Those Who Are Grieving

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

For about five years after my beloved grandmother died I couldn’t speak of it without crying so hard no one could understand what I was saying.
