I was proud to have known Camille at Brookside Elementary School as her gym teacher. I’m not sure she enjoyed everything we did
I loved having Camille in gym…I have all my school yearbooks to remember Camille and smile at just getting to know her…I only wish I had a chance to re-connect with her after her scholastic career was over…She will be greatly missed…
To the Family of Ms. Hill, I am sorry your dear loved one fell asleep in death. My sincere condolences to all of you. Although words cannot fill the emptiness of your loss, may you find a measure of comfort in knowing that soon, Our Creator, promises in His Word the Bible, that He will remove all causes of suffering, pain, sorrow, and even death forever! (Isaiah 14:24) Until then, may you be comforted by this promise as you gain the strength and inner peace to cope with the difficult days ahead. May I assure you, I am not trying to give or change your religion. The pain of loss is felt, regardless of religion. Again, my sincere condolences.
