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. 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. Harry’s Lunch 21st September 2011
As in previous years, the lunch was held at St Katharines, a stunning historic house set in beautiful parkland in Parmoor, near Frieth. The lunch included a Pimms & canape reception and a 2 course meal with wine followed by coffee or tea. As well as a raffle there was a silent auction at the lunch. We had a wonderful array of prizes, including a romantic Weekend for 2 in Paris (courtesy of Dial A Flight). In addition, Dial A Flight have agreed to donate £20 per booking to the Oxford Transplant Foundation for anyone who attended the lunch or bid in the online charity auction and then books with Dial A Flight (conditions apply) www.dialaflight.com. |

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 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.
