Pals for 30 years...now we find we’re SISTERS!


TWO women who have known each other 30 years were stunned to discover they are sisters.

Deborah Day was adopted at two months old – separating her from big sister Marilyn Morris.

They met again as teenagers working in a supermarket and became friends – but had no idea they were related.

They lost touch again but the truth finally came to light when their oldest sister Sally Griffiths launched a search for her lost family.

At a reunion Deborah, 44, and Marilyn, 45, were shocked to discover they were more than friends.

They live within a mile of each other in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and even send their children to the same school.

Mum-of-three Deborah said: “When we worked together we realised we were similar.

“But I never imagined Marilyn was my sister.

“We’ve got years of catching up to do and we’re enjoying every minute.”

Marilyn, also a mum of three, said: “Debbie and I look so alike. It’s wonderful because we have such a great family now. All our children are friends.”

Sally, 46, who also lives in Weston, spent years searching after losing touch with Marilyn and learning Deborah was adopted due to family problems.

She said: “It was all worth it. But I can’t believe we all lived so close without ever bumping in to each other.
