About Us
The Gift of Owen
The Gift of Owen
Owen was born at Methodist Hospital in Germantown, TN, just outside of Memphis. He came into this world beautiful, perfect, wide-eyed and happy to meet the many people who already loved him. Sammy allowed Dechay to be in the room for Owen's birth and gave her the privilege of cutting his cord. It was a magical day as we stepped together into this incredible journey of creating a new family. This picture was taken when Owen was 1 day old. We had adjoining rooms in the hospital for 24 hrs while Sammy healed, Owen passed all his healthy newborn checks, and friends and family near and afar adorned us and our little baby boy with love and support.
