Gambling At Horseshoe Casino Is Woman's Last Wish

Solon woman takes her mother Arsenia Grair, who is in hospice with a terminal condition, gambling at Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland. Gambling at the new casino was the woman's last wish.

The Plain Dealer had a sweet story about a hospice patient's last wish to gamble at the new Horseshoe Casino, and there's a Solon connection.

Arsenia Grair, the 91-year-old hospice patient who spent a day at the new casino, was accompanied there by her daughter, Stephanie Grair Ashford of Solon.

Ashford told the newspaper that her mother loved to gamble, and that she's been waiting for a casino in Cleveland for decades.
