Mills Family,

I am saddened to hear about Artis, Sr. I knew him for many years and respected him as a friend, gentleman and mentor. Artis always made me laugh and his honesty was first rate. I will always remember his laugh, his jokes and his ability to turn a bad situation into a positive one. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I met you all at the hospital during Mr. Mill's illness. You have a lovely family and I know you will all draw strength from one another in the coming days. I know God will comfort you as only He can during your time of grief. I am so sorry for your loss. You may take comfort in knowing that you will see him again in Heaven one day. God Bless you all...my prayers are with you....

Scott, Karen, Artis, Hunter, Matthew

Your father was a wonderful man, a man who loved his children and family above all else.

For a few years Artis took me into his fold of children. It was an honor for me to be a part of your family. I lost someone recently and I received the following. I hope it lightens your grief if only for a few moments

...Grieve not,

nor speak of me with tears,

but laugh and talk of me

as if I were still beside you...

I loved you so---

'twas Heaven here with you.



I love you all -- Millye
