Helen Okuno Higa, Eugenia Nakamoto, Durk Jones and Dottie Hurd Rhodes

While on a 15 day trip to Europe with a Friendship Force group Dottie was involved in a tragic automobile accident while in Budapest, Hungry. The car she was riding in was rear-ended by another car sandwiching her car between the car that stuck hers and a stopped truck in front. She was hospitalized with a lot of bruising, apparently she suffered some hemorrhaging of the liver, lapsed into a coma and died on Tuesday, September 23, 1999. She will be missed by her Narimasu family!!

HOME WITH JESUS I can feel your sweet winds blowing, through the valleys and the hills, I can feel your sweet winds blowing as I go, as I go; I can feel your sweet winds blowing, through the valleys and the hills, and I'm coming home to Jesus bless my soul, bless my soul. We will all miss you Dottie, for we all loved you!! I know that you have made it home, bless your soul, bless your soul. I will pray for your family that God gives them the strength and understanding in their time of sorrow. --Durk
