    We are so sorry to hear about Dorothy. We used to Square Dance with her and Elvia many years ago, when we all danced together it was my parents Charlie and Martha Casey and my ex-husband Cleve Grant and myself Connie. So very sorry for your loss. In our thoughts and Prayers during this difficult time.
    Connie Grant and Martha Casey
