 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CONGRATULATE TED AND HARRIET SIMPSON OF IRMO ON THE
 OCCASION OF THEIR FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR
 MANY MORE YEARS OF BLESSING AND FULFILLMENT.

   06/15/10  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-44

TO CONGRATULATE TED AND HARRIET SIMPSON OF IRMO ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MANY MORE YEARS OF BLESSING AND FULFILLMENT.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Ted and Harriet Bell Spencer Simpson of Irmo will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary on June 25, 2010; and

Whereas, there is no greater success in life than a marriage that endures the test of time and grows stronger with each passing year, and the long-lasting love and support of a spouse is unmatched in its importance and cannot be overestimated. Ted and Harriet Simpson learned and have lived out fully these timeless principles; and

Whereas, eight years after their 1960 wedding in Leesburg, Virginia, Ted Simpson and his Harriet became South Carolina residents, making their home in Irmo. The Lord blessed their union with a fine family of three children, Mark Spencer Simpson, Thomas Spencer Simpson, and Kimberly Ann Simpson, who have given their parents the joy of four grandchildren; and

Whereas, having moved to the Columbia area, Ted settled into his career as a professor of engineering at the University of South Carolina and Harriet into hers as a certified public accountant. They also found Union United Methodist Church and made it their spiritual home; and

Whereas, their commitment to one another over the past fifty years is to be revered and serves as an inspiration to all who know them; and

Whereas, in recognition of their golden anniversary, Ted and Harriet will be honored by family and friends with a celebratory event at Litchfield Beach; and

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the members of the House of Representatives express their congratulations to these two special South Carolinians on reaching this important milestone in their journey through life together. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Ted and Harriet Simpson of Irmo on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding anniversary and extend best wishes for many more years of blessing and fulfillment.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Ted and Harriet Simpson.
