Tom Mills

This is not one I have looked forward to writing and I have probably put it off as long as I should. On 5/23 my father-in-law Tomas Mills died. He had been battling Parkinson's Disease for years and went into a nursing home about two years ago. He was Covid positive but its unclear if this contributed to his death.
 
I met Tom when I started dating Ariana in 2009. I think it was for the 4th of July one of her family’s favorite holiday. The dad for whom no man is good enough for his daughter is a stereotype in our society, but Tom never made me feel unwelcome or unloved. Tom loved his family, good food and games he especially loved his Granddaughter Evelyn and I hope she has some memories of him. Ariana is having a hard time with this and that difficulty is exacerbated by the lack of the rituals of morning. I am having my own difficulties in this regard, but they are pale compared to hers. Your Prays and good wishes are welcomed and apricated. I'll add the his formal obituary when its available on line.
