Hi, I went to school with camreon and I sat by him in choir, I remember when he wasn't there and they told us he had brain cancer, everyone even people who didn't know cameron were worried about him and I know that I didn't relize it then but cameron changed us all. We now look upon everyone as someone who might leave us sooned then later and we appriciate that we could know cameron even if not that long, R.I.P Cameron Allem!

Henry and family
It is truly amazing how one 13 year old lad can affect so many who only knew him through his picture, his father, and his blog. As little as I knew of this loving being, I did know his strength, his determination, his love, his hope - I knew these because they are deep within me - what I have seen in him, may I recognise in myself and live passionately!
I am sad and also overwhelmed with peacefulness and hope. In tribute to Cameron may we all find and live a loving, strong, life no matter what time frame that looks like.
To Henry, I can't imagine what this experience is for you. You are in my heart and my prayers.
With a grateful but heavy heart

Dear Henry, Scott and the rest of the Allen family,
I am so very saddened by reading of your loss of Cameron.
Though I only got to meet him once, he seemed like one fine, incredible, brave young man. I am so very glad that you all were blessed to have him in your lives, to show you how to live life to the fullest, to keep fighting, and to love.
May you all be comforted in your time of grief and healing. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as you continue on with your journey, your struggle without his physical presence.
May God warmly wrap God's loving arms around each and every one of you, and let you know that you are loved and cared about, and that Cameron hopefully is simply waiting for you to join him on your next journey together.
May peace and love, warmth and comfort be for you all.

Cameron was a remarkable young man, and I thank each of you for being a piece of making that happen. He has inspired me in large ways and small, and will continue to do so.

Dearest Cameron,
I wanted to write this to you, as I have shared my love for you with your papas and a enormous group of your family and amazing friends that gathered last week to celebrate who you are to us all.
You inspired and touched us all in so many ways.. you to me were this big ocean of water, most times calm and tranquil and other times when you needed more power you could summon up all the strength of the sea to give you even more courage to fight your battle. I feel you with me every day, your wisdom well beyond your earthly life years. I will always be touched by you and look to see you with that huge smile on your face soaring above the heavens.
Love and Peace to you my sweet Cameron, you have planted forest full of seeds of spirit in us all that we promise to nurture and grow.
Lovingly,
Toni, Blake, Katie, Justin& Tristan

My deepest condolences on the passing of this dear young man. My heart aches for you. Thank you so much for sharing (and allowing him to share) his wonderful spirit with the world as you have, including many who never met him in person.
In a strange turn of fate, as Cameron releases his brain tumor battle, the fight begins for a member of my family. His example--and yours--are comfort and inspiration.

To Henry and all of Cameron's Family,
Please know and be comforted that so many people have you in their thought's and prayers and that Cameron's life has been a true lesson of triumph and compassion. I was so moved and touched when I met Cameron as I saw a sweet and innocent 12 year old kid, just like any other kid, full of life. As I read through many beautiful poems and reflections and realize that Cameron is no longer with us in this earthly life, I believe his life is still full amongst the Heavens!
With Love and Eternal Peace,
