With your support, the PSA would like to purchase a buddy/friendship bench, which will be dedicated to the memory of Mrs Mills.

UPDATE! : We have already surpassed the target amount and people are still keen to donate – there is more that we can do beyond a buddy bench and we will use any funds donated to secure a strong legacy for Mrs Mills that makes an impact and improves our children’s lives. Thank you!!

Mrs Mills (Barbara) played an enormous and invaluable role in our church, pre-school and school community and was loved by all.

She will always be remembered for her friendly, loving and reassuring smile, that was as big as her generous heart. She was always there for ‘her children’ as she called them, throughout their pre-school, primary school lives and beyond! A hug when they were sad, a caring smile when they were unsure and encouraging words when they were needed. She taught them so much about life, love and friendship and how to always be kind to others.

What better way to commemorate the love she had for the children of St. James’, than with a buddy bench for them to sit on when they are sad, lonely or in need of a friend, or just when they want to sit and reflect. (The bench will be sourced by the PSA and the size and type will depend on the amount raised).

If you think she would like this idea and would like to contribute, please click on the donation link below. Photographs will be shared once the bench has been purchased and installed. Many thanks.

    Mrs. Mills was a lovely lady who will be greatly missed. Her love and
    kindness shone like a beacon. Hope to see her again in Heaven where
    she would be no doubt loving and making a fuss of all the children.
    My Christian love to Ken and each of her five sons.
