Since birth, Margaret Derry and Marguerite Dahlmann have shared that special bond between identical twins.

It’s a link the sisters have enjoyed for 100 years.

Margaret and Marguerite were honoured with a special party in Vernon on Wednesday, Jan. 10, less than 24 hours before the pair officially became centenarians.

“We’ve been connected since Day 1,” said Marguerite, who lives at a care home in Vernon, just a few kilometres away from her sister.
