Shelly and family, I am from Lexington, NE. This Christmas will be the 6th Christmas without my youngest, Ryan who died in his sleep at the age of 27 from a tumor in his heart that we didn’t know he had. My only other child age 35 lives in Lincoln and his wife works at Union Bank and was given the opportunity to give away $100 to a needed person or family for Cameron. I can’t wait to hear her story tonight when she gets home. I have given money to needy people in the grocery store at Christmas time, what a wonderful feeling to help someone else .. I want you to know that this Sunday the 11th at 7:00 p.m. is the Compassionate Friends international Candle Lighting. Please check out their website. I don’t think Lincoln has a Compassionate Friends group, but I do know Omaha has a group. But you can have your own candle lighting to celebrate Cameron’s life. We light a special candle at every family get together in memory of Ryan. Maybe this will help you to remember Cameron at family gatherings too. I wish t could get to know you, to help in some way, to walk this path. May God Bless you and your family at this Christmas Season with wonder memories of Cameron, and knowing he in Gods loving arms.
