1 Corinthians 15 :54
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: Death has been swallowed up in victory.[h]The Christ also said: John 14:27-31
27-31 I leave behind with youpeace; I give you my own peace and my gift is nothing like the peace of this world. You must not be distressed and you must not be daunted. You have heard me say, I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you really loved me, you would be glad because I am going to my Father, for my Father is greater than I. And I have told you of it now, before it happens, so that when it does happen, your faith in me will not be shaken. I shall not be able to talk much longer to you for the spirit that rules this world is coming very close. He has no hold over me, but I go on my way to show the world that I love the Father and do what he sent me to do ... Get up now! Let us leave this place.
"Our prayers" as a community of friends that had the opportunity to work with Camille Franklin, is being offered up. To God Be the glory, the honor and the power.

Crystal and Chico
Camille was a person who was straight with you. She told you what was right. She didn't deal with messy people. You didn't wonder how she felt about things. She was upfront. She new the insurance business in her sleep. Whenever you had a question about your benefits she always had the information. My baby brother Alan Shaifer use to drive her for her treatments in Chicago. He is deceased but there was nothing we were not willing to do for her. I use to give her a ride to the Village and home. She would always offer me gas money. I never took it because you didn't mind doing for her. I remember her buddies John Rucker, Mario from the Welfare Department and Leonard Wayne Banks. To know Camille was to love her. She would have you rolling when she had something funny to say. I will truly miss Camille. God bless you and your family. By the way I remember the days of the Elbow room with Camille. Be blessed.
