Mr. Camden was a kind and gentle man - and a gentleman. We knew him as our trusty repair man, and shared our frustration and chuckles with him as he worked to fix our unreliable refrigerator which had a habit of going on the fritz just before the Christmas dinner or when we were planning a trip out of town. Last time we called to report a dead frig, he said, "What? It's broken? And it's not even Christmas!" We did not know your father, your brother, well. But the Mr. Camden we knew was a man we liked and respected for his quiet humor, knowledge and ability. Blessings to you at this sad time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Carla and Family,
I'm still shocked at the news of Ronnies passing, he has been a great friend and customer of mine for over 30 years! I will sure miss his haircut visits that always lasted for 2 or more hours, seems he could always come here to vent and talk about things that were on his mind, his last visit was rather intense about his health almost like ( in hind sight ) he knew something. I'm glad our last visit was a good one and ended with a hug and take care, call if you need anything. He and my husband struck up quite a friendship and would talk for hours on end about everything !
I will truley miss him, please know you can call me anytime if I can help in anyway.
Love To All,
Diane & Don Ober

Carla,Bobby .... all the family..I am so sorry that Ronnie is gone. I am sure that he is at peace now..he can breathe freely, and no longer has to deal with the pain. He was a good friend to many...I remember when we all use to get together at Bobby and Red's apartment and shared laughs and good times...and I cut everybody's hair. Love to you all!
