We were at best friendly acquaintances, but I'm gravely saddened by this event, far more so than might seem likely considering the limited nature of our relationship. She seemed like such a sweet, lovely person, and I just can't believe she won't be there anymore. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to her family and all her friends.

Danielle cute_tootz21@yahoo.com I would just like to say that I am truly sorry for your loss. I kept following the story of Camille and praying as much as I possibly can. My name is Danielle and I used to live one house away from the Cleverly's. Camille just happened to be my best friend for well... the twelve years we were neighbors. It was a huge devastation when I had found out what had happened. I just wanted to let the Cleverly's know that they have always been in my mind ever since the day they moved. Camille was the best friend a girl could ever have and I know that I will greatly miss one of my biggest role models of my life. I will always have Camille in my heart.

God Bless Pres. and Sister Borcherding, Berlin bo_ing@ldsces.de Dear Sister Cleverley, Dear Brother Cleverley, We are so sad about the passing away of your daughter Camille. We can feel a little bit with you, because our 24 years old daughter died of cancer 5 months ago. We didn’t find out WHY she had to leave so early, but we feel very strongly that it was known long time ago, that this was her time and her way. We didn’t have the chance to get to know Camille better, because her time in the Berlin Mission was too short. But we know from other missionaries, who were mailing with her, that she always had the desire to come back. Some missionaries have the feeling that she is back in the mission now and helps doing the work of the Lord. It is comforting, to know that our daughters aren’t far away and that they are happy and don´t suffer any pain or disorder caused by their bodies. We love the following quote of Joseph F. Smith (Gospel Doctrine, SLC, Deseret Book C. 1949 pp 435-36): “When messengers are sent to minister to the inhabitants of this earth, they are not strangers, but from the ranks of our kindred, friends, and fellow-beings and fellow-servants. The ancient prophets who died were those who came to visit their fellow creatures upon the earth....In like manner our fathers and mothers, brothers, sisters and friends who have passed away from this earth, having been faithful, and worthy to enjoy these rights and privileges, may have a mission given them to visit their relatives and friends upon the earth again, bringing from the Devine Presence messages of love, of warning, or reproof and instruction, to those whom they had learned to love in the flesh.” May you feel the love of God and his comfort, Sincerely, President and Sister Borcherding Dawnelle Thomas Death can be so hard to understand and yet the Gospel of Jesus Christ is there to give you comfort. She still lives and you will see her again. I am so sorry for your loss. Stay close to the Lord and he will help you.
