As a friend, and a classmate, I know that the Cammaratas are having more than a difficult time the past months, but they have done so knowing that yet when a loved one dies, the one deceased will have wished life to go on at its own pace, and that all of us live in a time of peace and happiness.

Janine, Luke and Stephan,
Although I love to write (like you Janine) it took me a few weeks to get this message out. I know that it's because the pain of losing my own child was so intense that my heart breaks to know that your family is now going through it. That is why we drove several hours just to give you a hug.We can honestly say that we know exactly how you feel. I have learned that by just passing on an understanding hug as you start this surreal journey, helps me heal just a little more too. I also wanted to let you know that on December 14th, I will be lighting a candle at 7p.m. to remember Nicholas along with our daughter,Kacey, in celebration of Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting. The candles will be lit all around the world for one hour to remember our deceased children. Although Compassinate Friends has ceremonies at many locations,(on their website) I'm just lighting a candle at home. I welcome everyone to do the same. God Bless.
Koda mom of a 12 year old.

I will always remember Nick's smile and his happy disposition as he walked down the halls of Skano. I firmly believe that there is no stronger bond than the one between a parent and their child. My thoughts are with you knowing that you will always carry Nick with his great smile and his love for life within you.

I was so sorry to hear the news of the passing of your son. I was hopeful for your family when I read the recent Community News article on the benefit held in Nick’s behalf.
I can’t imagine the grief a loss of a child brings to a family. I pray that your family will find the strength to cope and the ability to go forward with your lives in peace. We will remember you and your family in our prayers.

Cammarata Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Nick from school. He was one of the healtiest teenagers I knew. I would have never thought he would of passed on. My most fond memory of Nick was when he stood up in front of the choir and asked if he could wear a pair of cowboy boots to the concert. I am very sorry I could not attend the wake or funeral. I know how it feels when someone you care about passes on. Nick was always smiling in every class we were in together. Seeing him on the second day of school was heartbreaking knowing that he was ill and I couldnt do anything. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Connor Boyd

Dear Cammarata Family - I didn't know Nick personally but had heard of his story. We are a Shen family as well. I lost my 15 year old son Matt, 2 1/2 years ago to Leukemia and know all too well what you are all going through. I am so, so sorry for your loss. The love & support you get from your family, friends and community is irreplaceable. You need to let them do whatever they can for you. People really want to help and don't know what to say or do. We are in a unique group of people who share something so horrible that not even your closest friend can comprehend. Please know that my heart goes out to your family, especially for Stephen. In reading the obit I saw that our families have so much in common and Matt & Nick had very similar interests. Please feel free to contact me any time you need a kind ear or a sympathetic friend from our "Unique group".

At the rising of the sun and its going down
We remember them,
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter
We remember them,
In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring
We remember them,
In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn
We remember them,
In the beginning of the year and when it ends
We remember them,
When we are in weary and in need of strength
We remember them,
When we are lost and sick at heart
We remember them,
When we have moments of meaning we yearn to share
We remember them,
So long as we live they too shall live for
They are now a part of us as
We remember them.
We will remember Nick.

Janine, Lucas, Stephen and Yia-yia Rita, our hearts go out to all of you at this very sad time. Nick was a very special young man who touched all of us deeply. My special memory of him was on his 13th birthday, after our visit. Leaving his bedside I offered him a gesture of "stay strong". As if to comfort me, he looked back and gave me an assured acknoledgement that he was going to fight this and be well. You raised a terrific young man. I know he holds a special place in heaven. May God bless all of you during this very sad time.

Dear Janine, Luke, and Stephen,
I am in awe of all of your efforts these past several months. You are such a strong family and that is what will keep you going. You stood alongside Nick every step of the way. He knows how hard you went to battle for him. Although it seems totally unfair and for reasons unknown at this time, it's his turn to watch over you.
