Clinton Jacob Hill

This past weekend was a very sad one. One of Gerry's closest friends, Clint Hill passed away from cancer. Gerry met Clint back on their mission when they were companions and have continued to stay close since then. I met Clint about 5 1/2 years ago when Gerry and I were dating. We had some fun times with Clint. He was such a sweet, fun, and kind guy. He always had the biggest smile and could make you laugh. Him and his wife Catherine lived in Idaho and Arizona, so we haven't been able to see them like we would like to. Our hearts have ached since March this year when Clint was diagnosed. We were looking forward to seeing him and Catherine at Christmas, but unfortunately Clint passed away November 26Th. Clint never let on that he was in pain and continued to stay strong. We are deeply sorry for the loss of such a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Catherine and family. Although it's such a sad thing, I am so glad we were able to go to Idaho to attend the funeral services. They brought much peace and comfort knowing Clint is no longer suffering. We are blessed to know Clint, he was such a great friend to Gerry. Clint and the great memories will never be forgotten!
