Shirley was very special to me as I spent a lot of time at the Sweasy house growing up. Ginger and Barb were like my sisters and I loved them so much. I know they are all together once again. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember when they lived on fourth street, I would spend the night with Terry and the next morning I would make the family French Toast. Lots of laughter & Goodtimes!!!
