Olivia Grace Syme


Daughter of Chris and Ellen Syme, Granddaughter of Jim and Becky Syme, Great Granddaughter of Bert and Pat Owen, was born on Thursday, June 29, 2006 at 5:31 P. M. EDT in Louisville, KY. Weighing 6 pounds and 14 ounces and 19 inches tall. According to Daddy Chris, "she is perfect".

Pat and I received a call from Becky during the early morning to let us know Chris and Ellen had gone to the hospital. We were excited for them throughout the day as we thought of what a tremendous experience this is. It was also good to join with them in prayer as we remembered back to the time our children were born and when the grandchildren all came along; now another generation was coming along as Olivia was joining her cousin, Jessica. My, how time flies. So many wonderful experiences. It was not missed by any of us, including Paul, (especially Paul) that this was his and Jackie's wedding Anniversary. As Paul put it, "this is just one more reason to make this date very special".

Well Chris, you've always been a very special part of our family and it seems as if you have married a very special person in Ellen, and I have no doubt that Olivia will grow up to be just as special. That is, and will be, my prayer. God is good.
