Dear Friends of Josh 'Dot' Hill,

On May 27th, 2004 we lost a great and unforgettable friend in a tragic car accident. Josh showed us daily how important family and friends were to him. He was a kind and generous man who loved deeply. Josh's mother was his best friend, and I know he would appreciate our helping her through these difficult times.

A memorial fund has been set up to raise money in Josh's name for his family. The family was hit hard with funeral expenses as well as moving expenses. Josh's mom, Linda, plans to move across the country to be closer to relatives. Josh spoke often of how he planned to take care of his mother when he finished school, because she sacrificed and worked so hard so he could attend a private high school and then Yale University.

At this time, we would appreciate a donation of whatever you can afford. Tell Josh's story to family and friends who may want to help. No amount is too small.

Donations will be taken through the end of July 2004. The account will then be given to Ms. Hill, to help her resettle in August.

Please make checks payable to: "Josh's Wish: Josh Hill Memorial"

Please send checks to:
7980 Cloman Avenue East
Inver Grove Heights, MN 55076

With Josh in my heart, I thank you in advance,
