When the waitress started taking orders within Mitchell’s Fish Market in Rochester, she began with the birthday ladies, 90-year-old twins Catherine Walker Carter (Cat) and Evelyn Walker Jones (Eve).
“I will have the Alaskan King Crab Legs,” said Eve. “I will have the same,” said Cat.
The waitress simply smiled and said: “I should have known you would get the same thing.”
Pontiac locals Cat and Eve have actually been sharing “the same thing” for 90 years — and counting, and friends and family collected on March 19 initially, the Newman A.M.E. Church in Pontiac, and later on Mitchell’s Fish Market, to commemorate 2 lives linked with love and sharing because birth.
“I have always admired their love for family,” said Vana Thiero, Cat’s child who was available in from Los Angeles for the unique event. “They have always been concerned about the well-being of their family first and foremost. The family always came first and they were proud of everyone.”
That Sunday afternoon in March was a really wedding for the twins and the whole prolonged family. There were a great deal of unique memories shared in between all the smiles and laughter.
“I was just so excited to see them elated at church and at the restaurant and see people celebrate them,” said Thiero. “They have spent their lives serving others so it was nice to see them get some love back. And to see them smiling the whole time and see the joy on their faces was amazing.”
It was not just remarkable however motivating and touching. The twins really took pleasure in the minute.
“I never thought that we would both still be here at 90 years old,” said Eve, in between those beaming smiles. “Her thoughts are my thoughts. She is just like me. I help take care of her now because she has some dementia and everyday I get up so I can help her and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m the best person to take care of her because I know her the best and I know how to keep her the best she can be.”
The twins were asked what they like most about the other.
“I like everything about her,” Cat said. “I like her goodness. Her honesty. Her togetherness and the way she shares her love with everyone. There are so many wonderful things about her.”
And Eve?
“We know everything about each other and we are so much alike and it’s just a blessing to have had her for my entire life,” she said. “I never thought we would still be together at 90 years old and I’m so grateful that we are. Her thoughts are my thoughts.”
