| Aug. 9, 2012 d45 160 posts | Please pray for Steve Simmons Steve Simmons from Minnesota, Prize Company, was critically injured Thursday in a boating accident. He was given CPR for 45 minutes and revivied. Steven was vacationing with his grandchildren and family back in Rhode Island when the accident occured. He was thrown from the boat when it hit a sandbar and was taken to a hospital in Providence, R.I. He has had a heart attack and a bone hit the spinal cord in his neck was broken. He is in the intensive care ward at this time. The good news is that he is responsive and they think there is no brain injury. I do not have any other details at this time. He needs our prayers, so please pray for him and his family. Anyone that knows Steve knows he is a fighter, and one of the nicest players and best hitters in senior softball. I will give more details as they come available. Steve is a national director with SSUSA. |

He stayed at my house during the Western Nationals that was just played in Aurora, Co. this past weekend. Many of you know Steve and I know that you would want to know this. |
