So sorry for your loss family. But very happy for Brother Mills; another soldier of God gone home. He was a fine Pastor and servant of God!
I did a funeral with him and also he visted our Church several times and sang for us. He told us to be a Pastor would be hard-- so right.
Our Love and prayers are with you!
May God give you all comfort, peace and with knowing he is not gone, but is waiting for you all; around the Holy Throne Of God Almighty, our Father. Rev. Dr. Brendia McDaniel Pack and Rev. Dr. Robert M. Pack, an congregation.
