Alexander John Richard's Obituary
Heaven's gain was our loss when our baby angels were called by our Lord. Josephine Rose Richard and her twin brother Alexander John Richard came into this world too soon and were taken too soon.
Josephine was stillborn at home on September 21. She weighed 5 ounces and was 7 inches long.
Alexander was born at St. John's Hospital on October 26. He weighed 1 pound, 4.8 ounces and was 11.4 inches long. We were blessed to spend fifty-one hours with him before he went to be with his sister on October 28.
They are survived by their parents; Keith Richard and Emily (John) Richard of Decatur, Maternal Grandparents; Steve John and Mary Clune John of Decatur, Paternal Grandparents; Ron Richard and Sara Richard of Rising Sun, IN, Uncles; Matt John of Albuquerque, NM, Danny John of Chicago, IL, and Kevin (Rhonda) Richard of Henderson, KY, and Cousins; Annaleigh Richard and Ada-Jayne Richard of Henderson, KY. They are also survived by numerous friends and relatives.
Visitation will be on Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 1:30 pm at Graceland/Fairlawn Funeral Home. A Chapel Service will be held at 2 pm. Burial will follow at Mt. Gilead Cemetery.
