Cami's Kindness Day

Today is my niece Camille's birthday. She would have turned 3 this year. Camille and Aubrey were closest in age as cousins. We have tried to keep Camille alive in our girl's memories since her passing.

We sing Camille's lullaby at night to the girls. We talk about where she is on a regular basis. Nora is constantly asking us when Camille will be resurrected. We recently went to visit her grave, which also brought up a lot of questions from Nora about death and resurrection.

Today, to continue in the spirit of keeping her alive in our memories, we will be participating in Cami's Kindness Day. In honor of Camille's birthday we will do an act of kindness as a gift to her.

We love and miss her. All are invited we hope that in sharing this you too will feel a desire to give a gift to Camille for her birthday. Have a great day!

Back to Normal Kind of

Sorry for the lack of keeping up with my blog. With having so much family in town for the funeral and spending most of our time away from my computer, I've come home too exhausted to even attempt to post anything. I promise to be better.

Camille's funeral was beautiful and uplifting. I believe most everyone left with a resolve to be better people and had more of an understanding of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I've always known I had an amazing family but that feeling has increased even more listening to my brother and sister-in-law talk of Camille and the mission she had here on Earth. To find out more details of the funeral it would be best to read it in Stephanie's on words here.

It has been so nice to come together as a family and show love and support for each other. I feel so blessed to be a part of my family. Spencer recently composed a lullaby for Camille. Something he thought might have been sung to her in her last moments here on Earth. The lullaby is sweet, simple, and beautiful. It will be a great support in coming years to have something to remind us of our sweet Camille. I want Aubrey and all of my children to know of their cousin who is not with us now but is very much with us always because we are an eternal family and the lullaby will help me tell my children of her. So sweet the plan of our Father in Heaven!

An Angel Among Us

My family and I were blessed to have my sweet niece Camille, among us for a short time here on Earth. I may not have noticed before but I notice now that she was an angel sent to bless us with her infectious smile and spirit and now the Lord has called her elsewhere. How blessed we have been! God has a plan for each of us and Camille can now bless the lives of others where she is now full of peace and love from her family. The picture above is her baby announcement and shows how beautiful her features are. We miss you already Camille and look forward to see you again when we reunite as an eternal family.
















Camille and Aubrey loved to play with each other. I thought it surprising for babies around 1 year of age to play together but they did. It was so fun to see them interact with each other at our family reunion. I'm hoping that Camille will have the time while looking over and checking in on her sisters to also make visits to Aubrey to check in on her cousin.

We love you Camille.
