Kristi Lynn Hill March 6, 1985-May 2,2007

Late in April of 2007, Kristi was affected by an episode with her heart that went undetected by the doctor and hospital. While all other students were in their finals, Kristi was fighting for her life. Unfortunately, Kristi was not able to pull through and lost her fight. She was a hero to all of us until the end; donating her organs so that other people might live better, more full lives. There are 4 people in the Toledo and Cleveland area whose lives have been renewed because of Kristi's gift. I

Kristi was truly a Remarkable Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Granddaughter, Niece, and Cousin. But what Kristi is probably best known for by all of us and probably all of you that knew and remember her is that Kristi was an Incredible Frlendi

Kristi had a Contagious Laugh, Wonderful Sense of Humor, and a Beautiful Smile. She was a Free Spirit Who Enjoyed, and Lived Life to the Fullest. Kristi cared for and loved people. She never met anyone that she wouldn't talk with. Kristi was Loving and Kind, but you always knew where she stood.

Kristi will be forever missed, but someday we will be with her again in Heaven. Her belief in Jesus Christ was deep and we know today that Kristi is watching over all of us as our Guardian Angel.

If you knew Kristi. we would ask that you share your stories of Kristi with us. Tell us how you met Kristi and Your Favorite Times and Memories with Kristi. Mail or e-mail these to Terry and Julie Hill at 2228 Powell Rd Powell, OH 43065 or [email protected].

The paring back was a conse- quence of a decision the Census Bureau made two weeks ago: Because of technology glitches and a bungled government contract, the bureau scrapped plans to send census takers out with handheld comput- ers. Buckner said there wasn't enough time to train census takers to go out with pencil and paper in the test run, so the agency simply .dropped the door-to-doot part. *
