Ray and Kay and all family members,
Camille's friendship meant so much to me and I too will really miss her. She had the unique ability to focus all of her attention on me when we were together.
She truly was interested in what I had to share and she shared her thoughts too. She always could provide a different perspective and contribute to the discussion of any issue. Her intellect and knowledge of about any topic was amazing. She was very well read and concerned about not only the local community but the larger world issues also. Her calm demeanor would draw me in and I loved being with her.
You already know her as an amazing wife, mother, grandmother and mother-in-law.
I am so glad that I am able to remember her as an incredible friend. As long as she is in my thoughts, I will continue loving her. Cindy Wilson
