BIRTH: Copy of certificate in possession of Glenn R. Whicker (enclosure #10)
Our little Angel was afflicted with Potter's disease, and thus born with no
kidneys. We knew she would not live but Ryanne and Shannon decided to give her
a natural birth and we all just prayed that the Lord's will would be done.
Little Angel stayed with her Mommy and Daddy for 20 minutes, and then went back
home again. It was a sad time for all of us, but we are so glad that most of
us understand and have assurance of eternal life. Present for the day and
evening in which the labor and birth took place were John and Connie Richison,
the paternal grandparents; Rea Whicker, maternal grandmother; maternal Aunts
Rachael Lindsey, Connie Whicker and Lynda Whicker and paternal Aunt Robin
and her son, Cody; and one paternal Uncle Gary Richison. Uncle Jeff Whicker was also there for a short time, and Pastor Dave
from the Faith Baptist Church was for much of the evening.
Baby J.J. weighed in at 5 lbs. and was 16 inches long! He was 6 weeks early.
He was born on his great-great-grandmother's 115th birthday. She was Lucy
Lillie Mae Adams Rintoul. rcw
