Michael L. Mills

Michael L. Mills, 61 of Pineville, passed away on Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at his home in Dorton Branch. He was born in Pineville on February 10, 1954, and was the son of the late Asa and Maurine 'Toots' Mills. Donna, Amanda, Asa and Gage would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all of Mike's family and friends for the countless hours of visiting to share your support and love for Mike and themselves. Death is nothing at all: I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. --Henry Scott Holland The family suggests donations be made in Mike's memory to: Bethlehem Baptist Church, 1168 Dorton Branch Road, Pineville, KY 40977 or to Hospice of the Bluegrass, 160 Village Center Road, Harlan, KY 40831 In keeping with Mike's wishes, there will be no public services at this time.
