To the Family of Bob and Judy Camp,

Your family will be in my prayers. I didn't know Bob or Judy, but I have heard so many wonderful things about them through Judy's brother, Bill. My family is very close friends and neighbors of Bill and Cheryl.

Again, my deepest sympathy,

Mary and Johnny, so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad, too. How awful to lose both parents within a day of each other. Be comforted to know that they are together.

Bob was a pleasure to work with we often shared laughs about the Michigan Ohio State football rivalry. Each year like clockwork I would send Bob a card with a sticker on the outside saying thanks for being the biggest Wolverine fan living in Columbus, Bob said his mailman would hand him the mail with a mean stare. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, loves leaves a memory no one can steal.
