Sweetie and Perry’s daughter, Dorothy, grew up a very curious child, she always wondered how her mother died, and when she was old enough, her aunt, Grace, told her everything, including her suspicious of the affair between Perry and Jo-Ann and her belief that they killed her sister. The information disturbed Dorothy, the very thought of Jo-Ann living on her mother’s property did not sit well with her.
Dorothy spoke with an attorney, but was told that there was nothing she could do, the land was legally the property of Jo-Ann Denton, her step-mother.

And honey, it’s about to happen.”
Patricia pulled the gun from behind her and pointed it, swaying it from Nellie to John Anthony. She took steps back to make sure she had the time to shoot Nellie after shooting John Anthony. She pointed the gun at John Anthony and squeezed the trigger, but nothing happened. In shock, she looked at the gun, pointed it on Nellie, and squeezed the trigger a few more times. It was
