Hickson birth

On December 20, 1996, God blessed Ricky and Sonja Hickson with the birth of their precious daughter, Kaitlyn Marie Hickson. Kaitlyn was born at Community Hospital and weighed 7 lbs. 15 1/2 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long.

Kaitlyn has three older sisters; Lisa Hickson, Brittney and Mandi Guthrie, and an older brother, Scott Hickson. Paternal grandparents are Lois Hickson Dobyns and the late Bill Hickson. Maternal grandparents are Grover and Jane Flint III ad the late Jack Fizer. Maternal great-grandparents are Helen Williams and G.C. and Ruby Flint.

We want to thank Drs. Garcia, Farber and McLenan and their staff and the nurses and staff at Community Hospital, and to Dr. Christopher Keeley for his excellent response to our emergency delivery. Most of all we thank God for our precious blessing.
