Thompson birth

It's A Girl!

God made the world

a precious gift

more dear and pure than gold,

with little toes to play with

and tiny hands to hold,

and, wrapped in gunshine ribbons

with a rainbow's pretty swirl,

brought down to earth the wonder

of a tiny baby girl.

Johnny and Linda Thompson proudly and joyfully announce the birth of their beautiful baby daughter, Callie Amanda Thompson. Callie was born on November 4, 1996 at 8:56 a.m. in Lewis-Gale Medical Center. She weighed 8 lbs. 11 ozs., and was 21 inches long.

Our sincere thanks to Dr. George Maxymiv for his excellent prenatal care and Dr. Laura Moylan for delivering our little girl safely into this world. And most of all, we thank God for blessing us with this most precious gift, our daughter.
