Monticello, AR Saturday, June 13, 2026 Mr. Dodson was always so nice. He was one of my customers at the propane co. were I used to work. I talked to him about the Lord and His love for him. I told him how merciful Jesus was and that no matter what we have done in life Jesus would forgive us. I prayed for Mr. Dodson through the years and I had a burden for him. One day he came to my office and told me he gave his heart to The Lord and that since that time his life was transformed. He told me what a great job he had gotten and that he was able to help all kinds of people in need and that the more he gave the more he received to even bless more people. I could really see the joy and peace he was feeling. I was so happy for him and his family. I'm so sorry to hear he passed away. I will sure be praying for his family during this difficult time. May The Lord wrap his arms around each of you and give you comfort like only he can.Carol Moore
