I spent my youth near the Simpsons and Irish Grove Presbyterian Church. Rev Simpson lead me to saving grace in Christ, and Mrs Simpson was one of my Sunday School teachers. Many, many good memories there, and I am thankful for their Christian influence and faithful service to the Irish Grove community. Our condolences to Philip and family, and our assurance of our prayers. God Bless, Mike and Kathy Stone Springfield, Ohio
