SISTERS Marguerite and Adrienne Lawrance have been celebrating this year’s International Day of Friendship at Orford House by reminiscing and talking about their close bond, their long and happy lives together, strong friendship and love for each other.
The sisters, who have been residents at the Coulsdon residential care home run by charity Friends of the Elderly just over a year, are the epitome of the lyrics from the song ‘Sisters’ from the 1954 film White Christmas.
They really have ‘stuck together through all kinds of weather,’ are ‘caring and sharing’ and ‘are two different faces’ that sometimes ‘act and think like one.’
Marguerite, 91, and Adrienne, 89, moved to Orford House together in May 2021 on the recommendation of their doctor.
Throughout their lives they have remained inseparable, doing everything together – living together, holidaying together and being each other’s best friend.
