Sorry to hear about Cam's passing. Even though I only saw her once a year at tax time, her humor and personality always lit up the room. She always kept me up to date on her son and his family.

We are praying for your family. Your mother was a special blessing to the Maywood church family. She had a great confidence in her God and trusted Him.

I am going to miss Cam's prayers more than anything. She was a great prayer warrior and often concerned for what others were going thru. More than anything she loved her grandchildren and Matt. They were the light of her life. Her prayers will be a loss to all who knew her.

So sorry for your loss. Mrs. Wilburn was my 2nd grade teacher. She also visited me a few years back at my job which made my day. She will be missed.
