Harry MillsHarry Mills

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

Meningitis B

 

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.

Message balloons at Harry's funeral - All Saints Church in MarlowThis web site has links to The Meningitis Research Foundation and The Youth Sport Trust. Any donations of any amount will be much appreciated by these organisations – you also can leave your name and a message for Harry if you wish. (Click here ...).

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.

The family would like to express our thanks to everyone that has donated to the Meningitis Research Foundation and Youth Sports Trust charities. Your generosity and expression of love for Harry is beyond words. We would also like to thank everyone for their messages of support. Friends have assisted in many different ways from providing “meals on wheels”, helping with the funeral, raising funds or simply keeping in contact.

Many people and organisations are also raising money through sponsorship and dedicating events to Harry. “Upcoming Events” are on this front page. If anyone is planning an event please let us knows and you will have the support of the family.

Please send any photographs of Harry that you have to richardm@flexit-resources.co.uk and we will be pleased to include them in Harry's website gallery.

Harry’s life seems to have transformed into a spirit that is sustaining the Mills family through all your support.
