The community came together to celebrate a set of twins' 99th birthday in Gulf County. 🎂
GULF COUNTY, Fla. - One set of twins celebrated a birthday most people don’t get to experience Wednesday morning.
Members of the Gulf County Senior Citizens Center teamed up with the Warden of the Gulf Correctional Institution to host a birthday party for 99-year-old twins Era Luckie Daniell and Vera Rozier. “I feel grateful to my Lord that I’ve been able to make it this far with so little handicaps,” Daniell said.“I’m feeling the same as I did when I was younger, except I don’t have the energy that I had,” Rozier said.“The celebration is to show love,” Eddie C. Fields, Executive Director of the Gulf County Senior Citizens Center, said. “We want to show love. Like I said, they’re 99-years-old. They’re in the later parts of their life.
“We found out that they were celebrating her 99th birthday, and we wanted to be a part of that,” said Gulf Correctional Institution Warden Scott Payne. The party also served as an opportunity to reflect on the twins’ lives. They’ve been alive for nearly a century.“I’m very proud of my mother,” Era’s daughter Vita Luckie said. “She’s a strong woman. She raised three children after my father died and we’re all good productive citizens.”“She had one husband that died, and what 20, 30 years later she remarried, and then he died, and then my brother died,” Vita Luckie said.
