Dear Roomie, what a sad day to learn that a dear friend, colleague, and roommate at SMU has left us. Of course, we could fill books with our adventures at SMU and beyond and these wonderful memories will always have a special place in my heart. A truer friend, no one could ever have. The last time we really spent any time is when I came to Kenedy for your wedding with Gloria. Heavens, how you loved her and we spent many nights with you talking about her. It is so wonderful to see you two had such a wonderful time together and create such a beautiful family. I only wish I could tell all your family what a wonderful friend you were when we were together in college, and now to see that you lived the dream of your live came true is truly wonderful. Rest peacefully, my old friend. I shall never forget you. Jim Costin
Dr. Mills was a wonderful man that I was privileged to work with at North Hills Radiology. He will always be remembered, my sincerest sympathies to the family.
Kristen and family, we are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for you all during this difficult time. Your dad sounds like an amazing man! Praying for peace for you all.
My family had a mixed relationship with Dr. Mills. I worked with him at Washington Regional and my husband was in leadership with Dr. Mills in Bible Study Fellowship. In our respective relationships with Dr. Mills was the knowledge that he "walked his talk". On a more personal note he held my hand in the Chapel at Washington Regional, prayed and shared my grief as we learned my husband died in a MVA. To this day, 27 years later I remember his prayer. Scott and Kristen I wish I could hold your hands, and give you the comfort he gave me and my girls. Your parents were remarkable servants. I will continue to lift you and yours in prayers.
Bill and Gloria were the godparents of my first child while we were together in San Antonio for the guys internship & residency. In retrospect Al & I couldn’t have chosen any other couple to be an example of how to love God, be a strong yet gentle person and most one who could see their blessings.
Bill’s humor was always a delight with that twinkle in his eye. We will forever cherish our friendship and miss them both. Together will be dancing in heaven.

Knowing you was a big blessings, and honors. You're an Angel always smiling, loving, and very peaceful. I pray that God will grant you eternal rest. God may your grace be sufficient to the families he left behind. Wipe away their tears and grant them comfort their hearts in Jesus name, Amen. Juliet Obiora
I have know Billy forever since we were in school growing up here in Kenedy, Texas. In high school Billy and Gloria along with around six more of us made a trip by train to Washington DC to see President John Kenedy be inaugurated. From there we went on to New York City. This was a fabulous trip that was so much fun. None of us were prepared for how cold it was that year.
My husband and I was fortunate enough the last few years to visit with Bill and Glo several times on our way to Branson. We loved this couple, and know Glo did everything for Bill before she went home to the Lord. We hate that Billy suffered with Alzheimer’s but know his family saw to it that he got good care. He will be missed. Our love and prayers for the family. Minnie and Richard Robinson
