I clearly remember the great responsibility that I felt the first night we were on our own to keep her safe and comfortable. We made it through the first night and now 25 years later we have made it through a lot of nights.
All these years Camille has kept us on the front edge of her seat. She has accomplished a lot in her first quarter century. Probably the most important impact she has made is her great example as the oldest sister of our family. We all admire her for her ability to take a task or a goal and work hard to achieve it and we have been blessed by her compassionate heart and caring spirit.
In her toddler years, she loved to move her body with music. It was our first indication that dancing was something she clearly enjoyed. She would dance in our living rooms, in the parking lots and even in the isles of the grocery stores.
We signed her up for dance when she reached first grade and from that point on not only did she work to develop graceful dance moves but passed on this love and desire to dance to other family members. Dance has taken her to many wonderful places, introduced her to a lot of amazing people, and provided many unforgettable experiences. She has participated in traditional ballets, performed a ballet solo which helped her place as first runner-up in the state Jr. Miss program, traveled to Russia and performed in the LDS Conference Center.
A Christ-like attribute Camille possesses and continues to share is her compassionate heart. She currently works as a nurse in the ICU Cardiac Unit in the University of Utah Medical Center. She has a great ability to help people with significant health challenges feel cared for and safe.
As her mother I am indeed proud of my beautiful daughter Camille and wish her the most happy 25th birthday.
Love,
Mom
