Some of you are sweet generous souls who I have never met and you have touched my heart by being proactive in your belief that one person CAN make a difference…
You allowed compassion to drive your efforts…
You wished and prayed right along with me and helped me spread the word…
…and you helped make the world feel just a little smaller…
To my sweet blogging friends who have posted Earl’s picture (prior to today) on your blogs, I have a special Valentine gift of love just for going the extra mile (and a genuine heartfelt thank you for your kindness). Please email me your mailing address so I can get your gift of gratitude mailed to you!
As for Earl, he continues to be homeless and I continue to ask him questions hoping he will provide me with new information he may have remembered. The contacts who were helping me in Columbus, Ohio (where Earl's daughter is supposed to live) and Sweetwater, Tennessee (where Earl is from) feel they have exhausted their resources. I have placed ads in both of those towns with no success. Angie Hill is turning out to be a difficult person to find! Meanwhile I keep pretty close tabs on Earl and he always manages to make me smile with his witty remarks and sincere appreciation of my efforts...he really is quite a character. Thank you to everyone who has asked about him or whispered a prayer...your thoughtfulness has been very encouraging and some of your emails have been a blessing in my day.

This is an incredible long shot, but did his daughter ever go to college? Colleges have an uncanny ability to track down their alumni, despite multiple name and address changes.
You're so nice to continue to try and help Earl. I have a feeling a good conclusion will come from your efforts. God Bless!!
Using Intelius, I found one Earl Hill missing from Los Angeles. Don't know if it's him, but thought I'd tell you. I'll keep looking, though.
I think about Earl every day and I know that he appreciates everything you do for him.
I'm sorry I have not posted Earls picture before this Joni, but I only just figured out how to do that. You need not send us things. We are so blessed that there is someone like you out there looking out for one of God's children. THANK YOU.
It's my pleasure to have Earl's picture on my blog, knowing I MIGHT be that person who helped him makes me very happy, just like you make him and all the others that you have touched out there on the streets. God does answers prayers on his time and on his reasoning.
I LOVE you

I have Earl written in my prayer journal and will always watch to see what happens.... You are precious!
Have a great Wednesday!
Posting Earl's picture and story is the least I can do. You are an angel Joni. Your search may just be answered with prayer and hope and determination.
God Bless You my sweet friend
Hugs
Patti
