Dearest Cousin Norma and family, I am so sad to hear of Cam's passing. Although we have only met in person a few times, I think of you both fondly. Bev and I have been talking for years of driving up to visit you, and never got up there. Now we will miss Cam, but we will come up to visit soon, I hope. Love and Hugs from your cousin...Shelly Erickson Fallang

My Dear Cousin Norma, You are very special to me and Cam is too. You both have given me such a special love in my heart. I am so glad we finally got to know you both. I treasure the music on tape that Cam made for me and will continue to enjoy it and think of you and Cam dancing in your living room and all around your house. If all married couples could be so loving to each other there would be more peace and love in life. I have enjoyed all our phone calls to each other and will be up to see you when all is settled. Love from Arch & I

Dear Norma, Karen, Donna, Kelvin and Families

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Cam was a dear and wonderful man much loved and respected by so many.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

God Bless
My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Dear Norma and family,
So sorry to hear of Cam's passing. I've always wanted to get back up your way to visit and all these years have passed and I never took the time. How sad that I robbed myself of the joy and knowing Cam and all of you better. I hope that I can make it up there soon, now that Mark and I are living back in Montana. God bless all of you and I'm looking forward to a reunion in heaven with Cam. Praying for all of you during your time of sorrow. Love you, Cam's cousin from the states : ) Lisa (Gilford and Avis' daughter)
