I have<br \/>\nlearned to just cut and paste them verbatim, because her tone and<br \/>\nenthusiasm and love for her son simply can\u2019t be re-created by anyone.<br \/>\nJan moved to Easton this past year, but Josh was a Hanover kid, and so he<br \/>\nwill always be so.  In addition to the SSVT scholarships, some of the money<br \/>\nshe raises goes to Hanover kids in need of tutoring who want to go to South<br \/>\nShore Vo Tech.  Thanks, Jan, for all you have done in your son\u2019s name.<br \/>\nSSVT kids and we are all better for it.  <\/p>\n<p>From Jan:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYES, WE CHANGED IT UP\u2026..It\u2019s been almost 5 years since Joshua left<br \/>\nus at the young age of 17.  To keep his memory alive, to remember his goofy<br \/>\nnoises and his laugh, we figured what better way to accomplish this but to<br \/>\nhave a comedy show.  Who doesn\u2019t like to laugh\u2026.Josh always did. <\/p>\n<p>A little about Josh: As a very active kid who loved to ride his BMX bike<br \/>\nfor hours, he also loved to keep his friends &amp; family laughing with his<br \/>\nlittle noises &amp; one-liner remarks. He had a very soft heart and would come<br \/>\nto anyone\u2019s defense, no matter the cost. There is no doubt that he<br \/>\ncherished his family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>We continue with Josh\u2019s heartfelt intentions by raising funds for another<br \/>\nyear to help students at the South Shore Vocational Technical High School.<br \/>\nFrom pay-it-forward scholarships to tutoring for pre-SSVT Hanover students<br \/>\nto financial assistance with shop requirements.<\/p>\n<p>For tickets or to make a donation, you can visit our website at<br \/>\ngive.classy.org\/joshuaperry, call us at 617-417-7818 or email<br \/>\njcp1162@yahoo.com.
