I went to school with Cameron from 05- 07. And he was a great friend. He always made me smile when i was sad, and helped me when i needed it. He was a very caring person. Also he was intelligent and kind-hearted. I will miss him dearly and I know that you and your family will to. You all will be in my prayers. And i know that we'll once again meet up in another lifetime. I've cried non- stop since I've heard the news. It was startling and shocking to me that one of my best friends had passed. But I know that is going to take of him until I meet with him again.
With love for you and your family and friends
another bleesed peer of knowing your son
May god be with you.

I was told about your beautiful son by a dear friend of mine named Denise Burrell. My family suffered the same loss of our son, Corey, two years ago. I wish that I could say the words that would ease your pain, but there are none. This is a wound that never heals, but with the hope of God's plan, we will see them again. I will keep your family in my prayers and hope that you will be comforted in time. God bless.

I first met Cam through a mutual friend. My senior year (2005) we had the same lunch so Cam, myself and two other friends sat and ate together everyday. Come to think of it, he was also with me a little while the night I graduated. Cameron was a unique person. My prayers go out to the entire Burleson family, Cam will be missed

Jerry and I would like to let you know that you and your family are in our prayers and thoughts at this time of grievance. Words can not say what the heart feels at this time but the Holy Spirit knows very well. Lean on It to carry you thru this very difficult time and rest assured that Jesus is holding him close to reassure him that you all will be reunited for eternal life some day. Now I asked the Lord to continue to give you the peace and understanding that only He can give to you and your family but most of all keep your faith and know you are loved by us and many.
