Lisa was born September 1974. The song, "Your having my Baby" was playing on the radio on the way to the hospital. After six hours of labor, the doctor came in and said, you'll have this baby in a couple of hours! HOURS??
A few hours later, Lisa's heart rate dropped and they were wheeling me in for a C section. Frightened, I began to pray and moments later, she crowned. No C section!
I am stating these things for a reason. If you know Lisa, then you know that she is not quick to respond, but when she does it's indelible. She is a beautiful woman who has been successful in her life by blessings and hard work. She was my first masterpiece and is precious to me in every way. Pictures are merely moments frozen in time, we are so blessed to have shared a lifetime with her. Happy Birthday my precious daughter. [Lisa is a descendant of the Murray and Richards families.]

My First born, Lisa Marie at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long. Lisa had jaundice in this photo. I remember arguing with the nursing staff that the yellow tinge to this baby was not normal skin tone in our families. Lisa and I stayed a few extra days in the hospital. No way was I going home without her!

I remember Larry and I being stopped one morning by this elderly man commenting on what an absolutely beautiful little Irish baby girl we had. Of course we were glowing with that comment. We know she was and is a treasure. Lucky to have had two of them.
