MY SWEET MEMORIES OF JACK MILLS.





I HAVE BEEN WITH MY FOSTER MOM, BUNNIE MILLS, JACKS FORMER WIFE SINCE 1985 BUT I MET JACK '86. I FELT LIKE HE WAS MY DAD TOO AS YOU YVONNE AND YOU ANITA ARE MY FOSTER SISTERS. I LOVE ALL THREE OF YOU VERY MUCH.



WHEN I FIRST MET JACK HE WAS IN THE CRABBING BUSINESS AFTER RETIRING FROM THE AIR FORCE . HE TOOK ME OUT ON THE CRABBING BOAT TO RUN THE NETS THAT CAUGHT THE CRABS. THO I WAS SCARED OF THE OCEAN IT WAS STILL FUN. WE THEN TOOK SOME OF THE CRABS TO HIS HOME AND BOILED AND ATE THEM. YUMMY. WERE THEY GOOD?? YOU BET. MY DADDY JACK WAS A GOOD COOK. HE ALWAYS TEASED ME TO MAKE ME SMILE.



LATER AFER WE ATE THE SEAFOOD ,HE MADE HOT FUDGE SUNDAES FOR EVERYONE.THEN MOM AND I WERE BACK AT JACKS HOUSE WHEN YVONNE HAD JUST BROUGHT HER SWEET BABY CHRISTOPHER HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL SO WE ALL WERE PROUD TO BE WITH THE NEW BABY THERE.MORE GOOD COOKING FROM JACK..



I SENT JACK A CHRISTMAS CARD LAST YEAR, AS ALWAYS, AND HE TOLD ME HE LOVED IT AND THAT I HAD GOOD TASTE IN PICKING CARDS AND HE APPRECIATED IT VERY MUCH. I ALSO SENT HIM MANY GET WELL CARDS AND HE TOLD MOM THAT MY CARDS HELPED TO KEEP HIM GOING.



OUR DADDY JACK WILL EVERMORE BE MISSED BY ME, YVONNE , ANITA AND MANY OTHERS.



I FEEL THAT GOD FELT JACK'S WORK ON THIS EARTH WAS OVER SO HE TOOK HIM TO HEVEN TO BECOME AN ANGEL TO WATCH OVER ALL OF US.WE MUST REMEMBER THAT JACK LEFT ENOUGH LOVE BEHIND FOR US TO MAKE IT ON OUR OWN WHILE TRAVELING THRU THIS WORLD THAT WE STILL MUST TRAVEL BEFORE WE ALL MEET AGAIN. LETS ALL TRY AND KEEP OUR CHIN UP AND KNOW THAT HE IS SAFELY HOME NOW.



I LOVE YOU YVONNE AND ANITA. YOUR FOSTER SISTER TINA LEGER

Anita and Yvonne:

Although we have never met, Riley and I know each of you through the loving stories of your Mother,(Madgalene) Bunnie Mills. Having talked with each of you on the phone at different times, I feel a connection to you through your Mom. We share in the wishes of comfort for each of you in the recent passing of your Dad. I, like Bunnie, lost my daughter's father in January and although divorced, the gift of our child that we shared continued beyond the year of marriage. Bunnie was immediately a member of our family when we met her five years ago and her visits to our home are always looked at as family coming home. I know that that same loving spirit we know will bring comfort to each of you in this time of loss. We feel that we know each of you through her and pray for your strength in this time. There is no loss of father, because of what he has given to you in life. As my daughter asked of me as her father lay unconscious and dying in the hospital bed, "What will I do without my Dad?", my answer to her then and to each of you now is: "You will never be without your Dad, you are what he has given to you all your life--a survivor with incredible strength and memories that will take you through the hard times and the joys." I am certain that your father has given you each those gifts. You are much in our thoughts and prayers. Becky and Riley

Daddy, I know you are watching. I know also you will help guide us and help us know the right direction to take just as you always have. I only hope that soon you will be able to rest in peace. But until then, know that I truly love you for you and only you and God know the truth and the truth always wins one way or the other, here or beyond..Your Loving Daughter, Anita

Dear Yvonne and Anita,



We are so very saddened by your loss. We know that your father was an amazing man to have raised two wonderful daughters. Remember that you and your lives are a testiment each day to him.

FOR ANITA AND YVONNE, MY PRECIOUS NEICES.



JUST TO LET YOU KNOW HOW I FELT ABOUT YOUR DAD. I SURELY APPRECIATED JACK FOR BEING SO GOOD TO ME WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. HE WAS A PRECIOUS BROTHER-IN-LAW AND YOUR AUNT OPAL FELT THE SAME WAY.



THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF FOUR GRACES AND GOD HAS THEM ALL.GRACE, MORE GRACE, AND MORE GRACE, AND MORE GRACE.WHEN YOU GET DEPRESSED AND MISSING YOUR DAD, LOOK FOR ALL THAT GRACE, HE IS ABLE TO PRODUCE IT.



MY HEART BLEEDS FOR YOU BOTH AND IF I COULD TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN I WOULD.

REMEMBER TO CALL ON GOD TO RELIEVE YOUR BURDENS, AS YOU BOTH KNOW , HE WILL HEAR AND HE WILL HEAL IN TIME. HE PROMISES TO NOT PUT MORE ON US THAN WE CAN STAND.GOD IS GOOD.



I AM THANKFUL TO JACK FOR I KNOW HE WAS SO GOOD TO YOU BOTH.ACTUALLY HE WAS 'A GOOD 'OLE GUY' TO EVERYONE

ALWAYS REMEMBER GIRLS THAT JACK IS NOW OUT OF HIS MISERY AND PAIN HERE ON EARTH AND MUCH BETTER OFF THAN ALL OF US.



I APPRECIATE YOU BEING GOOD TO MY LOVING SISTER, YOUR MOM. DONT FORGET SHE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TOO FOR YOU .



PLEASE REMAIN THE PRECIOUS AND GOOD GIRLS THAT YOU ARE NOW AND DONT LET ANYONE DESTROY THAT.



GOD BLESS YOU, YVONNE AND ANITA.

LOVE AND PRAYERS

AUNT BETTY



P.S. YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL ME OR VISIT ANYTIME, ANY HOUR.

I would just like to thank everyone for contributing your thoughts about my dad.



And to my daddy, Jack Reece Mills, MSgt, Ret; married only one time in his life to a wonderful woman, Lillian M. (Hunley) Mills and had two very very faithful daughters, Yvonne and Anita. I wanted to say that I love you daddy with all that I am, and I am because of you and mom. You are so incredible to me and Yvonne and mom and your grandchildren Steven and Christopher...and yes, we even have you with your first great grand daughter, Isabelle. She will know you very well in all of us. She will know the true value of character, integrity, faith and honor to self and to our heritage and country...because of you, through me, through Steven to her and any other children that may be in the future as well as through Yvonne and to Christopher in his time. The children are indeed the legacy.



You always had the right answers to the toughest questions and now, where do I go? Where will I go when I have a cooking question, a "how do I", or what is the best tool or paint to use to create something special, or can you put that worm on my hook?--something more simple, can I have a hug?



Thank you for giving me the foundation I needed to also serve this country--I earned the right to stand at attention and salute you, from one veteran to another veteran. Did you see me salute your beloved flag?--what an honor that was and without Steven also having earned the right to stand at attention and allow me to lean against him... wow... I was so very proud of the two men I love most in my life. Thank you for giving me the confidence I needed to be what I am today. My pegs remain down because you are now my passenger (from one to another--"we know and we can't explain").



You were a great teacher of life and I thank you for all that you ARE, not were...because in all the people that you touched with your heart of diamonds--you live on. I miss you, your faithful and loving daughter, Anita (Sedrick)--big smile here with tears rolling......(waamani=to be in peace)

Anita (Mills) Feliciano (Charleston, SC)

Yvonne, I am sorry to hear of the recent passing of your Dad. You are a loyal and giving person, I know from our personal experience. I am, you should be, and I'm sure your Dad is, proud of how you took care of him up to the end. You should hold your head up high. I have thought about you often, wanting to call, but not sure what to say. It's easier taliking to ER patient's families than to someone close. Give my condolences to your sister also. Hang in there. This too shall pass. Dr. Wright

Yvonne, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad is in the presence of Jesus - along with mine. Together they can shine with the bright morning star.

MY EX-HUSBAND AND FRIEND....

THO WE WERE DIVORCED WE WERE STILL FRIENDS. HE ASK ME TO COME AND SEE HIM BEFORE HE PASSED AND IM SO THANKFUL THERE CAME A WAY THAT I COULD DO SO. JACK WAS A WONDERFUL FATHER TO YVONNE AND ANITA.HE WAS VERY HONEST AND RESPECTED BY THOSE WHO KNEW HIM.HE SERVED 26 YEARS IN THE USA AIRFORCE AND WHILE THERE I THINK WE MUST HAVE VISITED EVERY HISTORICAL SITE IN THE USA AND MANY IN EUROPE..

WHILE IN FRANCE AND GERMANY, WE WORKED FOR COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT AND WE ENTERTAINED THE TROOPS ,ARMY AND AIRFORCE,ALL OVER HOLLAND, BELGUIM,FRANCE,GERMANY,LUXENBURG,

ITALY. ETC. JACK WAS A GOOD ENTERTAINER AND SINGER.HE GAINED MANY FANS AND ALSO WAS WELL RESPECTED BY HIS WORK FORCE AND SUPERIORS IN THE MILITARY SERVICE.THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER HE WORKED MOSTLY IN COMBAT ALERT CENTER AND BASE OPERATIONS AS A SUPERVISOR.

THO WE WERE DIVORCED WE CHERISHED MANY MEMORIES AND OFTEN SPOKE OF THEM THRU OUR TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS.

I KNOW GOD HAD MERCY ON HIM BY TAKING HIM WHEN HE DID. HIS ILLNESS WAS TOO MUCH FOR ANYONE TO BEAR LONG.

HIS SOUL IS RESTING IN PEACE NOW AND IM SURE HES ENJOYING HIS MOM AND DAD AND ALL HIS FRIENDS WHO HAVE GONE ON BEFORE HIM.

I SAY AGAIN, YVONNE AND ANITA WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A GREAT DAD LIKE JACK. HE WAS A "TROOPER" IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE.

MAGDALENE (BUNNIE) MILLS

JACK MILLS WAS ONE OF THE MOST HONORABLE MEN THAT I EVER MET. HE NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT HIS SICKNESS,HE ALWAYS SAID WHATEVER IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY. THANK GOD FOR MEN LIKE JACK THEY WERE THE ONES WHO MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT. REMEMBER TO HONOR HIM AS HE WOULD HAVE WANTED YOU TO DO,HE'LL ALWAYS BE YOUR DAD AND MY FRIEND. JOHN

Anita and Yvonne, I did not know your father but if he served his whole life protecting our country in the USAF then that alone makes he and I brothers. I am proud to have served in that blue uniform as well. I also know Bunnie and she is a very wonderful person and one of the most respectful persons that I have had the pleasure to make acquaintance with. She is a fine mother of you two and I know you are proud of her. You sure were blessed with two wonderful parents. God bless you and just remember we don't give up things here on earth. We only live through the memories thanks to God's Grace. You two and your mother will be in my prayers!

Dear Yvonne and Anita,

Our prayers go out to you and the rest of the family on Uncle Jack's passing. I remember getting out of middle school and he was there selling shrimp. What a wonderful man he was. He also told me about a restuarant he went to when he was stationed in Germany in the early 70's and when I was there in 2000 a went to the same place.It was still going. Well, our love and prayers are with you all. Take care and may God bless. Ya'll will be in our prayers. Love, Frank and Tonya Shaw

Dear Yvonne and Anita,



Giving up your daddy is hard to do, but try to be consoled by the fact that he is in a much better and peaceful place now.



Please try to reflect on the beautiful memories and wonderful times you spent with him.



Love,



Shirley Sheppard

Yvonne, we at Roumillat's often think of you, but at this difficult time our special thoughts and prayers go out for you and your family.

Here in Germany Bobby and I were shocked and sadden to learn, through e-mail that Jack had died. His devotion to you and his family was always apparent in his many caring ways. We realize what a burden life will be for you and your family without your Dad.

Yvonne, we have known each other for over twenty years and I know how strong you are. Time will help you get through this. You and your family are continually in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve over your great loss.

Our dear Jack of Diamonds....wonderful brother and brother in law...How blessed we all are to have had you in our lives...The special memories of brothers growing up!!!!! and our lives as grown men!!!!!



The very special welcome you gave to me welcoming me into ur family!!!I will cherish this forever...

Jack you will always hold a very special place in our hearts forever....

All of our love,

Jimmy and Gloria

Yvonne, we met online only a short time ago and you told me of your Dad. My husband is a victim of cancer as well, I emailed you back. Take comfort knowing he no longer is in pain and discomfort and he is in a far better place than you and I. May God ease your suffering during this time of loss and may He hold you in his hand until you meet your Dad again.

Yvonne,

My heart goes out to you through this difficult time. I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. I just want you to know you and your family are in my constant thoughts and prayers. Please consider yourself hugged.

Yvonne, We haven't known each other that long but I feel like I have met a very special person. Knowing how you felt about your dad I'm sure that he too must have been very special. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts during this difficult time. Helane

My heart is heavy Yvonne for you and your family. Cherish and share your memories and find comfort in knowing he suffers no more.

Having worked with Yvonne for many years, I got to meet Jack and visit with him. It was too old soldiers swaping war stories, and it was enjoyable. I will miss Jack and feel grateful I had the chance to know him, but know he is in a better place now. Our condolences to the Mill's family, Don Reed, P.A.-C (ret)Judy Reed

I love you daddy, Anita

THINKING BACK...



4 years: My Daddy Jack can do anything!

7 years: My Daddy knows a lot…a whole lot.

8 years: My Daddy Jack does not know quite everything.

12 years: Oh well, naturally Daddy does not know that either.

14 years: Oh, Daddy? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.

21 years: Oh, that man-he is so out of date!

25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.

30 years: I must find out what Daddy thinks about it.

35 years: Before we decide, we will get Daddy's idea first.

42 years: What would Daddy have thought about that?

50 years: My Daddy knew literally everything!

53 years: I wish I could talk it over with Daddy Jack just once more.



HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Oh how I love you and miss you so very much and look forward to when we can have a little cup of coffee together again. Yvonne

I'm thinking of you Anita & all of your family and wishing you hope and comfort in the mist of your sorrow and pain. And when you look up at the night skies and see the stars remember, they may not be stars but rather an opening where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy & are forever in our hearts. With Heartfelt Sympathy, Wee

My heart goes out to Anita & all of The Mills Family. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all. I am wishing U Hope in the mist of your sorrows. Comfort in the mist of your pain. & when U look up in the night skies and see the stars shining. May it come to mind that perhaps they are not stars at all. But rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy & will be forever more in our memories & our hearts. ~Wee~

There is a certain sweetness to sending a loved one on to be with the Lord, even though the loss is incalculable.

Our love & prayers,

Luther & JoAnne Smith
