This unique dance is a special tribute to one of our beloved and precious dancers who gained her wings on January 7, 2020. Cora may have lost her battle (in earthly terms), but she won the war (in Heavenly terms). She’s dancing with Jesus now….. (I’ll join you one day on that glorious dance floor, Cora!!!!) Thank you to Herb and Kathy Dula for their inspiration with the song.
