Marquise Hill thoughts
Published 5/29/2007 by Angela at Boston Brat
... I am really sad about the untimely death of Marquise Hill. I spend so much of my time and energy on football and as dumb or trivial as you may think it is, that is where I focus my attention. Sometimes, I feel like I know these guys personally. Although the closest I had ever gotten to Marquise in physical proximity was probably within 50 feet at Training Camp in ‘05, he was part of my life in a huge way as all the players are. I feel like I just lost a friend. I’m sad not only because the Patriots just lost a defensive lineman - I’m sad because a generous 24 year-old was taken in the prime of his life.

... Since Hill's passing, I've read dozens of stories about his efforts to help Hurricane Katrina victims, he helped build a ramp on the home of a 60-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis from Mattapan, Mass., even the final act of his life was nothing less than utterly selfless. With a chance to save his own life, he helped someone else survive.
