Our son, Harry Mills, died from Meningitis on Thursday the 26th of April 2007 at the age of 11 years. A much loved boy, Harry always had a beaming smile on his face and limitless enthusiasm for sport and life itself. Our family; myself Richard, my wife Judi, daughters Marie and Jenny and son George are devastated by his loss. Harry’s short life was extinguished in a single day by this terrible disease. From the moment of arriving home from hospital we have been overwhelmed by the response of all who knew Harry. There are no words to describe the love and kindness of our friends, Harry’s school mates, team mates, coaches, school staff and even people we do not know. Harry |

seems to have touched so many people. The love and friendship that was his hallmark lives on after his death. It is some comfort to know that through organ donation Harry will have helped others and saved lives. Playing Football, Rugby and Cricket, Tennis, Athletics and Cross Country, sport was Harry’s life. He played football and rugby for John Hampden Grammar school, Rugby for Marlow RUFC, Cricket for Marlow Park, football for Holy Trinity Juniors Football club and Tennis with Marlow Tennis Club. At times in between he could be found scoring a try in the lounge at the Mills residence in Marlow, scoring a goal between the TV and Hi-Fi in the kitchen or beating his dad at table tennis or cricket in the garden. Ability and sportsmanship earned Harry a place on the Talented and Gifted Register (government initiative) at John Hampden School.

The funeral was
a wonderful send off for Harry – the whole of Marlow must have heard
the final three cheers. Your support at the Funeral was so important
to us all. The balloons floated over Bisham Church just at the time
that Harry was making his last short journey.
