Aunt Lois’ 100th Birthday Party

Aunt Lois is one hundred (100) years old,

or thirty-six thousand five hundred (36,500) plus days old,

or eight hundred seventy-six thousand (876.000) plus hours old,

or fifty-two million five hundred sixty thousand (52,560,000) plus minutes old.

(The plus is for leap years. I hope I did my math correctly.)

Staggering isn’t it.

I can not imagine being more than thirty years older than I am now.

What is even more amazing is how unbelievable sharp Aunt Lois is. She has a wonderful memory, and she enjoyed every minute of her party.

This was a big event. Even the Mayor of Stephenville was on hand to present a proclamation to Aunt Lois. The day was officially proclaimed Jennie “Lois” Pack Day. What a very special occasion, and moist eyes were abundant.

Pam (on the right) worked hard to plan the party.

Scott and Clair provided beautiful music.

It was a fantastic party.

First thoughts were to try to imagine what Aunt Lois has lived through these past one hundred years – wars, wars, and more wars, The Great Depression and more depressions, the invention of televisions, computers, cell phones, etc…

Then we realized that what has always been important to Aunt Lois is her relationships. Foremost she loves the Lord. She continues to pray, worship and study daily. Aunt Lois loves her family and friends, and she has touched each of us in very special ways. So many (probably there were over two hundred people) came to celebrate with her. I can not show all the pictures, but here are a few.

The youngest was this precious baby – a great, great nephew. (I am a dork. For the life of me, I can not remember this baby’s name.) Proud Jim is holding his grandson.
