I'm so sorry to (belatedly) hear of Camilla's passing. I taught with her for several years in Paramount at the middle school level. She was a great person and I'll never forget her. Again, my deepest sympathy to her family.

To the Hammond Clan, my heart goes out to all of you and prayers that you will always think of the fun and positive moments you had with your mom, grandmother and mother in law. I remember whenever I saw her she was always gracious to me and my family. My love goes out to you , Karol

Camilla was my best friend. I miss being able to talk to her. I taught kindergarten with her, and it was so much fun. The best teaching years for me. After retiring we got together every week. I would not have missed that. Thanks, Camilla for the good times we had.

Grandma Camilla, as she was known in our house, is credited for giving our children, Oliver and Piper, a love of books and reading. When she babysat in their younger years, she would always bring her Bag of Books. They would read and read and read together; it was rare if the TV was turned on while she was with them. She also introduced the kids to Trident gum, which is still one of their favorites because "Grandma Camilla says it's good for your teeth!" She will be missed.

Although she was battling with a few health issues, I had hope she would overcome them this time, be able to get back to enjoying life and what she wanted to do. God had other plans though and decided it was time to stop fighting and be at peace. She's in a much better place now where she is with family and can watch over the rest still here on earth. You'll be missed! Xoxo
