You ingrained it in us and I succeed, persevere and thrive because of you. I Love you more than words can convey…You got this momma, you always have. #fuckcancer #mom #love”

There are no ‘right’ words to be said or even understand these tragedies……only prayers, my sweet lady. You have expressed it best, Eva.
And, although all of us have walked in your shoes, some time or other; by the same token, the situation is different for each and every one of us, but the pain?
Ultimately, the pain in our hearts is the same.
God’s love and yours, and all those who love your mother, Eva, will see her through this.
Prayers, hope, faith and blessings to your ‘momma’, to you and yours.
Eva, you got this, your a great daughter and you have a great mother. And you both got this . Fuck you cancer!!!
So, so sorry….. my prayers go to God for her healing and for you and your family.
Sending prayers of support to Eva, her mother, and their entire family.
I am a cancer survivor, I was diagnosed in 2013 and I am able to do most of my activities . Cancer can be rough and it is a serious battle. I try to reach to most of my cancer brethren, no matter how hard it seems, day by day you can win, I am living proof.
Eva, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. God bless you both, and your family.
Eva good luck praying for you and your mom. Keep a good thought God will see you through it. God bless you and your mom

Billy Miller Memorial Scholarship Endowment Created at His Alma Mater to Help Others ‘Realize Their Dreams’

Two months since three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor, Billy Miller passed away, the beloved All My Children (ex-Richie), General Hospital (ex-Jason/Drew) and The Young and the Restless (ex-Billy) star, will now have a permanent scholarship endowment in his honor at the University of Texas at Austin which was Miller’s alma mater.
Through the scholarship, it will be able to help radio/television and film undergraduate students with financial need. Billy’s family and friends have established this permanent scholarship in his memory, naming it the William Jon Miller II “Billy Miller” Memorial Scholarship. They hope the endowment will be a legacy to his life and love of acting.
Before becoming soap-famous, Billy graduated from the the university’s department of Radio-Television-Film (RTF) at the Moody College of Communication. On its official website, they shared the news of this special memorial scholarship and how Miller died at the age of 43 after surrendering his life to bipolar depression, which he struggled with his whole life.

Megan Hubbell, Billy’s sister, expressed, “We want something positive to be held in his name in perpetuity through the University he loved. He would be honored to know that even in death, he can help someone else realize their dreams.”
She added how she hoped her immensely talented brother will be remembered: “I hope BJ (as Billy was known by to his friends and family) is remembered for the kind-hearted, silly, funny, goofy, generous, beautiful soul that he was His megawatt smile, deep belly laugh and gorgeous mug were gifts on screen, but his true self was a bright light that will be carried with us forever.”

According to Miller’s family, Billy had his picks of schools and UT was his first choice. When he first came to the university, Billy started in the zoology program before switching to radio-television-film, where he felt he belonged. Miller was one of just 20 students at the time accepted into the department’s prestigious production-sequence program.
“BJ was extremely proud to be a Texas Longhorn and always remembered his time there fondly,” Hubbell said. “The time he spent at UT allowed him the space to explore who he wanted to be and what he wanted to accomplish.”

In honoring her brother’s work and strength to persevere in the often heartbreaking world of entertainment, Megan related: “I always admired the guts it took to go after a dream in Hollywood that so many people tried to discourage. He heard, ‘You’ll never make it’ more times than I care to count, but he used those comments as fuel and said, ‘Watch me.’”
Miller’s roles went far beyond those on daytime soap operas, as throughout his career he played major parts in primetime’s Suits, Ray Donovan and Castle to name but a few.

In his death, Billy’s family is encouraging people to take stock of their own mental health. “BJ would want anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts to seek professional help,” Hubbell said. “Do not suffer in silence or try to muscle through on your own. Mental health is vitally important and shouldn’t be spoken about in silos behind closed doors but rather in open forums with open arms. Shame has no place in the discussion to seek help.”
