I image I've known Mrs. Mills far less time than most. But within a relative short period, I've been a beneficiary of her demonstration of genuine brotherly love and hospitality the like called for in the words of scripture. "Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers," (3 John 1:5) Thank you Mrs. Mills for welcoming this stranger into your life and fellowship. Carolyn Morton

Those of us who were fortunate to work with Mrs. Mills at the old Franklin Middle School are so sad about her passing! She was the very best "boss" ever and we were blessed by her leadership and her friendship. Many of us enjoyed visiting in her home during her retirement years and loved hearing her continue to lead us with her wisdom! She was great and we loved her! Judy Barnhill

Mrs. Mills was one of the most wonderful ladies I have ever had the opportunity to work with as a County Commissioner. She served her community and her church every day and I respected her so very much. We shared many laughs together and her heart was as big as her beautiful, bright smile. Much love to her family and her beloved JR - Diane Giddens
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
