Deborah wrote: “Thursday thoughts…thinking about family today. Specifically, my sisters. Ran across this pic of Janet and Bennie, my idols while growing up.
“When I hear Motown tunes I’m transported back to our small home and their grooving to the radio and turn table with LPs spinning. Both dreaming of singing…belting out Diana Ross and Dionne Warwick top hits.
“We took this pic just before my wedding 26 years ago. Bennie sang the Lord’s Prayer. While we’ve lost her, I cherish these beautiful memories! #sisters are everything #tbt.”
