I was one of Cameron’s teachers last year. My wife and I are very sad to hear of his passing.
I was Camerons Army Recruiter. He was a great young man. He would have made a fine soldier!
Cameron, I did not get to meet you, your Dad told me how special you were. He was so proud of you. I pray for your soul and for peace for your family.
