Billy Ray Mills

As I did not know my dad very well, as I look at my girls playing with their dad, I always wonder what my dad would think and what kind of grandfather he would be. I wonder what kind of relationship he and I would have today, what he would think of my husband and what I have grown to be. I can only wonder about these things. Seeing all the great things everyone has to say about him I know he would have been great!!!

7/16/05 will be two years since my brother past away so suddenly. It is so hard to believe it has been two years. A picture was placed on his headstone for us to remember him and how handsome he was. My heart still hurts to know that I can never talk with him again and hear his singing and leaving messages on my machine. With all my love always. God and Jesus are taking care of you now.
Your loving sister . . . Becky

My sisters and I (Sandra, Becky (me), Jeanie and Patricia, gave Mom a painting of Billy Ray for Christmas showing him when he was both a handsome young man and when he was only 16 years old. This painting is an everlasting memory of our only brother. It was very emotional for all of us.

We all miss you Billy Ray so much. I personally think of you every day. I have your picture in my living room and see you always.

Love your Sister Becky

Billy Ray's head stone was just recently put into place. Mom, Aunt Beck and I went to his grave site on his 40th birthday, November 4. It was so hard to see his name on that head stone. A birthday balloon was placed there along with flowers. I still miss you so much and think of you everyday. I know that you are in a wonderful place. It is still hard and the more I talk about it the better I feel. I miss your telephone messages. Thank you God for my brothers 39 3/4 years with us.

As I was looking through the few photographs that I have of Billy, the thing that jumps out at you is his smile. Certainly smiles are not uncommon in photos, but even the photos in our minds can see Billy always grinning about something.

Each and every person who knew Billy has a story. Can you pick just one? We can all reflect back on our yesterdays and remember how Billy was so Billy. He will be missed by many.

When it comes to life and death, fair seems to...

Billy was a good guy,He would help just about anyone out if he could.I know he is in a better place and we will meet again some day.Rest in peace my brother.

I knew this sad moment would come someday but it never occurred to me that it could be this soon.

God has a plan, even though sometimes it is hard for us to understand, taking Billy from us now is part of it. I want to thank God for blessing me with 27 years of friendship with the best friend anyone could have.

I know you're in heaven now, but you're still here too, in our thoughts and our memories. I have alot of great memories of you through the years. I am...

My Uncle Billy was such a great guy. For me he was much more than an Uncle, he was like a dad. I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Billy because as everyone knows he was such a blast to be around. He will be missed so very very much.
