Owen Sound, ON - - Verna Simpson passes
Sad news from Owen Sound via her grandson Jamie Simpson.
Hope you are all well! I am unsure how many of the “ISC veterans†that were around when my grandfather and grandmother were travelling supporting the ISC. Many would know that my grandmother was there in every endeavour trying to promote the ISC, especially in Ontario.
From son Bill Simpson:
On Thursday night, my amazing mother passed away at 96. Having 20 children 59 grandchildren, 66 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren and fastball was her life. Just hoping you could pass it on to any existing ISC members than would have known my grandfather and her.
