| Henrietta Cross Hatton Clark toasting on her 99th birthday |
One minute you're born on a September day in 1914. The next minute, it's 100 years later and you're still here.
Life must be just a dream when you're a century old. It's a milestone few earthlings ever reach. But, Aunt Henrietta Cross Hatton Clark is now the latest inductee into the exclusive Cross-Marrow century club along with Grandma Beck (Rebecca Marrow Cross Lewis) and Aunt Henrietta's elder sister Aunt Lucy (Lucy Cross Jones).
Friday begins a weekend-long family celebration. Cross-Marrow relatives from New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Virginia, North Carolina and Atlanta are converging on the little rural town of Henderson, North Carolina for the party.
Congratulations, Aunt Henrietta!!
