Tom W. Mills

Barbara, Blake and Scott
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Tom. He will be greatly missed. I will carry fond memories of Tom and the three of you with me always. Trips to the lake, park, swimming and dinners. Please do not hesitate to let me now if I can do anything for you all. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Love you all
Carlyjane and Hayden

Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
