Three sisters met for the first time Feb. 21.
Sharon Koller, 83, and Linda Clark, 75, flew to Orlando from Muskegon, Michigan, and then traveled to Winter Haven to meet their sister, Judie Randall, 80.

“Even though we had never met before, we fit together like a puzzle right out of the box that was finally completed,” said Koller, a retired restaurant owner and food-service manager. “I’m always getting teary-eyed about separating from them. I was waiting so many years to meet my family; I had a wonderful upbringing, but there was always something missing.”
