Camille, a dear and beloved friend. I was blessed to have met and became the best of friends when we worked at Motorola together. Camille was a very special person - I deeply regret to have lost touch with her when my husband was very ill and I had to quit work to care for him. We would always go out after work and attend each other's family functions. When I first met Camille, she was very reserved, but with me, she adopted me immediately - looked at me as mother figure. Camille will always be in my heart - I will miss her dearly. Camille was such a wonderful, loving person, that she is definitely among the Angels smiling upon us. Camille will always in my heart - a friend for eternity or until we cross paths again.....

Camille, you and my cousin, Rainy, were my savior when I first move to AZ. You included me in family functions, took me places and went on vacations together. I will continue to watch your children and family grow. You will be missed. Thank you for all you did.

I will always remember how Tia Camille used to babysit me and Jay and all the other kids at that time. I always loved it when she would surprise us with her home made tostadas. She was such an awesome cook.... Just a couple years ago she also babysat my kids when I was working. She was always doing so much for everyone. Now she has been reunited with my Dad her baby brother and her Dad. I know they will always be watching over and protecting the family. She will be missed dearly and forever in our hearts.
