'In this situation, I think it’s a normal thing to be upset and frustrated and angry — but those are the things that slowly eat you up over time,” one of Michael Hill's sons said. 'I believe our dad would want us to show compassion.'
"We were actually waiting for it to be confirmed, but we knew prior,” daughter Tawana Garner said Thursday. “I knew immediately when he didn’t answer the phone.”"In this situation, I think it’s a normal thing to be upset and frustrated and angry — but those are the things that slowly eat you up over time,” Smith said."I believe our dad would want us to show compassion — compassion to one another and to any family that’s been affected by a tragedy.
Hill’s daughter Marquita Oglesby said that the family hopes Monday's shooting spurs change and “that this wouldn’t happen again.” “Whether it’s gun laws that change or mental illness changes, I’m not sure,” Oglesby said. “But both need to change. Right now, there’s nothing being done about either one.”March 30, 2023Although family members never got a chance to say goodbye to Michael Hill, his messages to them remain. He often texted them, and at least every few days, the message would say “I love you.”
"Every last one of us, all seven — we all received those 'I love you' texts, those random 'I love yous,'” Brittany Hill said. “I’m going to miss those, I really am. I’m going to miss those random 'I love yous.'"
