Camille and family,
My thoughts are with you all at this time knowing how hard it is to be left behind by someone you love so much. However, she's happier now than she's ever been because she's in paradise, running around as light as air and doing all the things she loves. She was an inspiration!

My sympathy and prayers go out to the family of Camille Voss. I attended her last four birthdays and I couldn't be any prouder. Camille and I were second cousins, her mother and my grandfather, Ralph Martorana were siblings coming from Palermo,Sicily. I live in Lacombe . Camille played bingo at our VFW hall in Lacombe every Friday afternoon. She is with the Angels and all of her past relatives and friends in heaven. This is not the end for Camille, this is just the beginning. GOD BLESS YOU CAMILLE.....Your cousin Tom Miller Sr
