Tiffany Petty has been standing on faith since her grandfather Bobby Ray s brush with death in a Bessemer City street more than six weeks ago.
That faith was rewarded on Easter Sunday. All it took was him simply squeezing her hand from his hospital bed. That was a big improvement for me and for him because that s something I haven t felt from him since he s been in there, Petty said. It s indescribable.
Ray, 71, was struck by a car the night of Feb. 22 shortly after 8 p.m. as he was attempting to cross West Virginia Avenue and take his grandson home after the boy s martial arts practice.
The reigning Miss Gastonia has had to wait longer than most for her shot to upgrade her crown.
Julia DeSerio originally brought home that win some 16 months ago. That punched her ticket for a chance to become Miss North Carolina and, perhaps, Miss America.
COVID-19 crushed any chance to make a run at the state title in 2020 but a dream deferred is anything but dead. DeSerio said she s ready to take the stage again in June. There s never been a Miss Gastonia who s won before so for me the stakes are high, DeSerio said. But you walk in with the same incredible opportunity as everybody else.
