Notes For Cameron
Hello,
The goal of this posting is to serve as a central area for friends and family to send "not so personal" greetings to Cameron.
Cam has a large social network and of course a large family also. =-) This should help him as he recovers to easily reply and keep in touch with loved ones on a more global platform while allowing him to rest and recover.
Please send him notes by posting comments to only this blog. Of course, more personal correspondance can be done through other means. This is more of like a large Get Well Card. Thank-you

Hey Cam,
You have all my support for your recovery. We created this site to help you keep in all organized. I hope this can help you in easier communication and contact over the next few months.
Curtis
Cameron,
We love you and continue to pray continuously- you are in our thoughts every minute. We look forward to the time when you can once again share your famous impression of a pencil. I think it would be a great lead in to a new reality sitcom.
Love,
Lee & Robyn
Cameron,
I'm so glad that Curtis and Jessie set this site up to keep everyone updated! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Syndi and I were laughing yesterday about how special you are to our family and what joy you have brought to our hearts. Keep up the fight Cam - We love you lots!

Dear Cameron,
You are definitely in our hearts and prayers as you recover once again. We may not understand God's plan but He has held you in His hand thus far and will continue to do so. Our love for you began as you mentored and taught our son, Jon. It has grown as we have come to see the wonderful man of God you are. We will continue to hold you in our prayers.
Dave and Sherri Reed

Love, Sunny

We all are sending our love and prayers to you and your family. You are such an easy going, caring, wonderful person, yes I say that even though you used to pin me down and gleek on me all those many many years ago. =) We are waiting for the day that you sit up and ask "what is all the fuss about." Until that day we will be praying for you.

Hey Cameron-
Thanks for being you! Your life is such an amazing testimony of faith and strength. You have made such an impact in my life, you've been like a big brother, especially this past year. :) I never would have thought when I signed up on Tour E in 2002 that I would be working in the office a few years later. You are such a big part of where I am today, and I know that so many others feel the same way. You have touched more lives than you may ever know. I'm here for you and praying for you constantly! I know you'll pull through this and be stronger than ever! Miss you and can't wait til you are back! :)
Love you-
Dani

Becky and Coty
Hey Cam,
Though we haven't talked in awhile, neither you nor our beloved Tour E '02 has been far from my thoughts. I will be lifting you up in prayer as will my friends and family.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May he make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you, turn his face toward you, and give you peace.
~*Mia*~
Dear Cameron,
I don't even know where to begin... You have been such a blessing and inspiration to me since the day I met you. You have showed me "God's love" in a way that I would have never seen it. You have helped me get through so many situations in different ways whether it would be having our talks about my "issues" helping me out with school papers(yeah!!) or just trying to get out of our stupid "fights" we would have. Know that you are loved in so many ways by so many people!!
~Don't ever give up, keep a smile on your face, even when your days seem long. As time goes on, I'll be praying for you, that God will keep you strong~ Always remember that!!
Love,
*your secretary*
Cam,
Thank you so much for all that you did for me when I was on tour. I looked up to you so much and you impacted my life in SO many ways. You are truely an amazing person. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks again, Bubbalicious :)
Cameron,
You mean so much to all of us. I know I look up to you a lot, and I've never even toured with you. I've always wanted to though.
I'm SO happy the surgury went well. God is Faithful to answer our prayers! I won't stop praying and thanking God for you and the mark you are still leaving on coutless people's lives. You are so special and God has got you exactly where He wills.... because you are so covered in prayer! He is in control even when you/we seem so out of control, especially then. Take care Cam. Know you are loved, and not just by us, but by the God that loves you WAY more than we can and is better at showing it. He is taking care of you. That's A LOT of care!!! God Bless You Cameron!
Th Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; he has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. And He willbe the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the Lord is His tresure.
Isaiah 33:5,6
Hi Cameron,
I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Life takes many turns and it makes us stronger, keep fighting. We're by your side in spirit and praying for you every step of the way.
Love
Cody and Mary Perkes(Cole)
Hey Cameron! I remember that time that we were at director's retreat and I saw the tattoo on your leg. For some reason I couldn't think of the character's name... but I gave it a guess and said "stormie O Martian" who is some sort of christian author. Oh you still won't let me live that one down. AND come to think of it, I still don't remember the name of that character. You'll have to remind me again.
I'm teaching 4th and 5th grade now and I was sure to share with my students about your situation. So know that you have 30 San Diego students and an awesome teacher who are praying for you and keeping you in our thoughts. They continue to ask about you and Im always happy to you hear you are making such good progress.
Love You Buddy!
Kurt Geilenfeldt
Hey, Cameron,

In Christ,
Bonnie and Pam.
Cameron,
Just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. I'm so thankful to call you my friend! :)
I had so much fun w/ you at Evan and Amy's wedding last year! (I definitely think our song was the hit of the reception...especially the "bum-bums") I still crack up when I think about that story you told us about when you got paddled in elementary school and couldn't remember where your ankles were! :)
Thanks for showing me how to live life abundantly in Christ! Love you!
Love,
Kristen
Hey, Cameron ~ Debbi Duffy here (Sunny's mom). Mike and I send you our best wishes and know that you are loved and revered by so many that it is amazing! A true testament to your character, no doubt about it.
We remember all the fun times we had with you as you were growing up with the Class of '94. We came across some pictures the other day of birthday parties, school plays, etc., and you were in most all of them. Even a picture of you and Sunny walking down the aisle together at 8th grade graduation! Remember the time you spent the night ~ it was about the 2nd grade ~ and you and Sunny knocked on the wall between you during the night? So many fun memories.........and you have so many more left to make in your already wondrous life. Get well soon and the richest blessings to you and all those who are caring for you. You're in our thoughts and prayers......
Godspeed~
Debbi & Mike Duffy
Cam,
You have more strength than anyone I have ever met. I am praying for you everyday, and I know that God is right there with you.Keep holding on buddy.
Luv ya,
Melody
Hey Cameron...it's me, Nikki Jessee (Woehler). I'm so excited to be writing to you. It's been a long time! :o) I've been going through my mind of all the fun and exciting times we've had in our lives. I remember back to junior high when I had you pass notes to your brother for me. Our incredible friendship grew and blossomed from there. You and I always seemed to have the scoop on everything...guess that's why we ended up getting the "biggest gossip award" for our class! :o) Do you remember the time we were going to a b-ball tournament in Lewiston during the winter and we slid and ended up going into the bank on greer grade? I was so scared I made you back the car out for me! God is so good to us, He always protects us and watches over us when we need Him the most! And I have such fond memories of us during our senior year...I loved spending time with you when we put our '94 on the hill. And all the years you I would pick you up on the way to school. Thanks for riding with me and keeping me company. Do you know you wrote a whole page & a half in my annual?! I saved it just for you buddy. And I still have pictures of when we walked together at graduation. What a great time in our lives. I'm so thankful you have had the opportunity to do so much with your life and to have such an amazing influence on everyone you come in contact with. I can't wait to see you again. I really miss you and think of you often. All my love and prayers are with you always.
Sending you love and hugs....Nikki
Cameron,
Hey, this is Chris, Heather Weikel's brother. Just wanted to let you know you have been in my prayers. You have touched so many lives... and so many people care so much for you. I hope through you, god may continue to bless the people you touch. Get well.
God Bless,
Christopher S. Weikel
Hey Cameron,
This is Donnie Dickerson here and all I wanted to say is...
"STAR PERFORMER!!!"
Hopefully this will bring a smile to your face.
We are all praying for you and as soon as you get better, I'll call in and sing that star performer song to you!!!!
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!!! I just read the good news posted on September 13 about your waking and breathing on your own. We knew God wasn't finished with you in our hearts but are so thankful for His hand in this wonderful news. We will continue to be praying for progress in great leaps and bounds instead of "Baby Steps".
Sherri Reed
Cameron,
I want to let you know that Randi and I are praying for you. We know God is working such an awesome plan in your life. We were just talking about how these times show a person how many people they have touched in their life. You have touched so many people, literally worldwide. The seeds you have planted in hearts around the world are a constant reminder that the church is one body and is connected through people like you. We love you and can't wait to see you next time your up here.
Blessings,
The Leisters (the younger ones)
Hi Cameron
Still praying! I was encouraged to hear you're coming around. I really have expected that though. God does so many great miracles in your life and through your life! We miss you and wish we could see you. I know you'll be in good ol' Lewiston again soon! Looking forward to a hug!
Eric and Jamie Beeson
Cameron - Great news! God is doing a great work in your life. We're continuing to pray for a complete healing. Love ya kiddo!
Loren, Linda & Brandon
Hi Cameron, my husband and I don't know you but feel as though we do from all we have heard about you. You are in our prayers and we know God is working in your life as well as people you know. God bless Cameron, take care.

Hi Cameron,
We have been following your progress and are so excited for today's news. It is amazing to see how much love and support you have out there. We are thinking about you and praying for you everyday.
~Brad & Becky Sager
Cam~
You have been in my thoughts and prayers everyday and I have been trying to figure out what exactly to write on this blog. There are so many good times we shared growning up and being together in Church that I can't mention just one. So I want to say I love you and Praise the Lord! When you feel better I will have to make a trip from Nor Cal to see you. You are the greatest and I pray that God gives you the strengh you need. I look forward to talking to you soon.
Love Always,
Rashell Kinard
Cameron,
We are praying daily for you. The impact that you have had on our son, Jon's life has been amazing and we love you for it. We are looking forward to seeing you again and remembering the good times with Jon and his buddies (Wes and Allan).
Your light shines even during this dark and difficult time. We love you dearly.
Dave and Sherri Reed
Jon's parents -
Cameron~
It was so wonderful to read about the progress you are making. Just remember to take one day at a time, for tomorrow will have enough worries.
I was just thinking about all of the fun times we shared in Chamber singers and days at LCSC. It is amazing to think of all the lives you have touched. Hang in there!! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Brother!
Oh, how I miss our fellowship! Evan and I have been spreading the prayer requests around Portland on your behalf. I know the LORD will glorify Himself through this whole process.
I have to smile, though, when I think about you and our emcee-ing experience at Evan's wedding. I told some of my good friends here the story of my lack of vocabulary when I called you my "partner". We all had a good chuckle.
Praying for your quick recovery. It seems you have a mighty army of prayer warriors! You are a loved and blessed brother!
Your friend, Tyler Geel
Cameron,
What a testament this site is to the terrific impact you have had in the lives of so many! Truly, you are well-loved! You are such an inspiration as you allow God to lead and guide you daily. It's been a long time since we've seen your sunshine smile; we look forward to seeing it again. Get well soon and KNOW that you are loved. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thanks, too, to those who have made this site available to all so we can check up on Cameron's progress.
Love you,
Mitch and Julie Jared
Hey Cam! I miss your face! I'm in Phoenix pulling for you! I wanted to send you a picture someone stole of a very unattractive girl with blonde hair and huge glasses, but I have no idea where it is! You remember, the one Paris put in the Big Red Notebook!?!? I know that face would cheer you up! But instead, just picture mine saying I love you, Cameron Bonner, stay tough!
Stephanie Gramm
Hey, Cameron (tour e '02 secret pal...)! I just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you and so are all of my roomates and small group! Best of wishes toward your FULL recovery--I hope you are encouraged by everyone's prayers as you have been a great encouragement to those people (especially me)! I love you and once again am praying for you! ~Katie Smith~
Cameron,
I really can't even begin to tell you how much you mean to me, and I want you to know that I am praying for you and a quick recovery. Just think about all of those late nights at Estes when you and Josh and I would watch Mighty Wind to escape...or finding your door covered in trash bags at your apartment in Ventura...Know that I love you and I know God's still got great things in store for you.
Love, Kelli
Cameron,
I am praying for a miraculous recovery and that God will be glorified through your life. I am trusting that God is using this situation to draw you and everyone around you closer to him. I am trusting that God is embracing you in His arms, and that Jesus is standing before the Father mediating on your behalf, and that the Holy Spirit is forever making intercession for you. May His peace fill you and those around you!
Your cousin,
Shelli (Bonner) Nasca
Cameron,
I am friends with Heather Weiekel and pray for you/think about you often. I know you mean a lot to her and I can tell how special you are by all the comments already on here! I know God will bring you and your family through this!
Sarah Norton
Hey Cam, I've never met you, but have heard alot about you from "little Amy" I saw you when you performed at Amy's church!! That was a really cool concert!! I'm praying for you and get well soon before Amy starts flipping out! hehe, take care!
Allison Fanelli
PS- I was the one "sleeping" when you were talking to Amy and her mom at midnight on New Years!! haha
Hi Cameron,
You've never met me, but you seem to have made a huge impact on my brother's (Jonathan Reed) life! I thank God for the friendship you've provided him and pray for you.
In His Arms,
Brittany Reed
Cameron,
God never gives us more then we can handle. God will lead you day by day, we are all trusting Him to do just that. I can still see that twinkle in your eye from Kindergarten, when you and Jeremy used to sit across the table from each other. If one of you wasn't up to something, the other one was. Love to see that smiling face of yours again! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dennis and Jill Opdahl
Hey Cam,
I guess there was a reason you were really on my mind about a week ago. If you need anything, I have family in Ventura as you know. It sounds like your family has things covered though! Of course I'm praying for you. Polly told me about this website. Blessings!
Rachel Meacham
Hey Cameron,
Carrie shared this web site with me and I am so pulling for you! It has been many years since we saw each other, but your spunk and energy still ring as loud as ever! You have always been an inspiration to all those around you and I wish you well. I will keep watching and praying for you.
Tricia Waide
Cameron,
I know you probably don't remember me but you staged my tour (Tour W) in the first half summer '05. I just wanted to say thanks for all you have done for everyone. Especially thanks for teaching Omar a thing or two about directing(Tour J) Anywayz...I am praying for you and I know you will pull through...your definately a fighter. God is good!
ToRi
Hi Cameron,
It's Jen's friend Tiffany from Arizona... We have all been praying for you for a speedy recovery... God Bless you and please know we are all thinking of you often... Love, The Gass Family.
Cam!
Remember that time on Tour A when you, Jen, Omar, Nicole, Mel, and I were in the room talking and messing around and the guy next door kept banging on the wall and then called the police? (I don't know why he was so upset... it was only like 1 in the morning... go figure) I was so scared because I was under age and I thought they would take me to jail and my parents would have to come to Texas (or wherever we were) and bail me out of jail. Remember when we went for the "gander" (or was it a "tramp") in the woods of New Zealand and when we went down in that crater that was considered "sacred" to the locals? (those idols at the bottom were interesting...) Remember the "frolic" on the beach and Jon falling and busting his nose? I won't ever forget singing in the Oprah House (how many people get to sing there?) and that wonderful 50 something mile hike to the "perfect photo" spot. Thanks to Eli (aka Hortensea) I learned more then I ever wanted to know about "dingos" and lepersy and if I ever need to lift a 200 pound cow... Wes taught me how!
Um Cam... My mom wanted me to tell you she wants the money to replace our front screen door that you got into a battle with (don't feel bad... gravity always wins...) :) Just kidding... my screen has had to go through some serious tharapy but we think it's going to make it. :P
Seriously Cam, I was so sorry to hear about everything that is going on but I have my family and friends praying for you and your family. I sent you a card in "snail mail" so hopefully it will find it's way to you by Christmas... (hehehe)
Well... I got-2-go so I'll be praying for you and miss you tons! Get better soon!
Laters,
Jessica Robbins... aka... the Care Bear Nazi :P
Cameron,
I do not personally know you, but I have heard and have been touched by your story. From reading the comments on this page, I can tell that you have touched and blessed so many people. I just wanted you to know that I'm praying for you and your loved ones. Your life is a true testimony and it shows that, with God, we can overcome all things.
Love and Prayers,
Tiffaney Trail
Cameron,
Just wanted you to know that Julie, Jonathan, and I are praying for you in Oklahoma. Keep your head up!

Hi Cameron,
Glad to hear the positive updates! What a blessing to have brothers and sisters who care so much about you. We look to Jesus for a miraculous recovery as you head into open heart surgery. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dave and Amy Jared
Hey Cam,
You seem to be getting better everyday! As you undergo open heart surgery just know that there are so many family members and friends gathered together praying for you. You are a fighter (as you try to get us to get you out of your hospital bed)your in good hands and we look forward to seeing you after surgery!
Love,
Austin, Amy, Andrais, Avery Bonner
Uncle Cameron,
I hope you get better soon. I miss you and I wanted to tell you because I am too little to see you in your hospital room. I have been watching your Star Wars movies and wish you were here to watch them with me!
Love Andrais Aisake Bonner 6 years old!
Cameron,
We are praying daily for you. We wish you the best tomorrow with your heart surgery. I'm so glad to hear that your brothers and mom are with you. We pray that God guides the surgeons hands and gives you all the strenghth. I think you are truly a miracle. I've always heard God doesn't give us more than we can handle. So apparently he thinks very highly of you buddy. I know most of us would not have faired like you have. You've always come through your obstacles with such an amazing attitude. You and your life have already been such a great testimony. We CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Every glimpse of good news has been so wonderful to hear. You are such a fighter and the Lord is so faithful. It says we only need the faith of a mustard seed, and by the looks of it, I think you have fields and fields worth of seeds working on your behalf. There are people from all over that you have touched and are believing for your recovery. Keep fighting. We love you.
Shaunessy Boreson and family
Blessings on the Bonner siblings for setting up this blog to keep us informed!
Cameron, the RCC early morning prayer session this morning was focused on praying not just for your recovery, but for miracles upon miracles as you recover! We love you sweetie!
Ron and Julee
Thanks to all of Cameron's Family for the updates. You all are truly a blessing! I'm definetly praying for each and every one of you...
~Amy Z
Our Dear Cameron,
Thinking about a picture I have of you as a young lad, with your pajamas on and a ball cap, giving us a look like "who are you people and what have you done with my real family!"
I know I contributed some childhood brain injuries slapping you boys silly when I was pushed a little too far waiting for mom to come home from Lewiston...
Words cannot say how much it meant to me when you & Jessie stayed at the hospital waiting for the B.O.C.
Not to take away from everyone else that helped me during Aaron's birth, I was not ready for all the love and concern I was given. When you're the older one, you want to give and it feels odd to receive.
Love, from one of your freakishly large family members,

We are so happy to hear of the success of your surgery, Cameron! We, like many others, have been waiting anxiously to hear how things went and, lo and behold, we got GREAT news. We are so very happy and hope that each day you are stronger and stronger. No doubt that will happen, as there are countless people (including us :-) praying for you and your recovery. Take care.
Bless you,
Mike & Debbi Duffy
Cameron,
Long time no see/talk. Jayne called to let me know what was going on with you and Wally forwarded this blog to me. I am amazed at how God continues to bring you through these trials. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we are monitoring your progress daily. Blessings.

So last night I had a dream that I was sitting in your hospital room talking with you and we were making fun of some movie and random things. I woke up laughing! LOL:) I felt like I was having a good, fun conversation and it was so like you and I! :) Just thought it might make you laugh! It did me! Still praying for you and thinking of you ALL the time! Keep holding strong and fighting! You're amazing! Love you "Daddy Cam"!
In Christ,

Hello Cameron!
Praise God for the progress you've been making! Been praying for you and waiting for you to come visit again so we can go check out the instant mash potato machine. Take care and be healed my friend.

Ok, this is the fourth letter I have written to you on this blogging thing and it hasn't worked yet. I feel bad my mom was able to figure it out and she is not computer literate at all. I guess I need my "smart" brother-in-law Austin here to show me how to do this. I hope it works this time, but we'll see?? Anyway, just wanted to let you know we are thinking and praying for you everyday. I was thrilled to hear the surgery went well today. Not that I would ever expect anything less from you or the wonderful God we serve. We will continue to pray for a speedy recovery so you can get out of that bed soon, as I understand that has been a goal your determined to accomplish very soon. And I'm sure you will!! By the way could you send Amy, Austin and the kids up this way before they head back to Japan. Thanks, I'd love to see them. I look forward to hearing more about your tremendous improvement in the days and weeks ahead. Take Care Cam. Love Ya, Angie Porter(Umphenour)
Hey Cameron,
I am praying for you every day! I hope and pray that your recovery will go smooth. Take care and I love you!!
Always and forever,

Hey Cameron!!!
Just thought I should let you know how much I pray for you. You are so loved! And for good reason. God Bless the rest of your journey. You are so covered in prayer, I don't think anything can come between you and full health again. We love you!
Hey Cameron, hey its Alisha so we are praying for you. You have to get better soon and come out to NJ to visit us like you promised. We are happy that the surgery went well (get lots of rest) Amy says you definetly will... she said it not me. did she ever send you my wedding pics. if not I will tell her to send them to you.

Hey sweetie ! So happy to hear you are over the heart surg.*God Bless You~*Spirit*Soul & BoDY ~ amen. :O) we love you! XO XO, auntie jan Uncle Phil
Hey Cam Cam!
I love you so much! I have been praying for you every day and I have many of my friends from around the U.S. praying for you as well. I think your whole experience has brought me closer to the Lord because I have never prayed so hard for anything or anyone before in my life! I am so glad to hear that you are recovering well. I know you have been through a lot so I have faith that you will come through all this with flying colors as well. I wish I could come see you but I know I will be in the way so I will stay here in Ohio until I get the word and then I will be out there in a second!
I know I have told you many times but you are such an inspiration to me and one of the main reasons I cherish my time on tour so much. You have touched so many people just by being you and keeping your great attitude and loving people. I will not stop praying for you to have a full recovery so you can keep on being the man of God that you are and continue to touch people's lives. Miss you buddy!
Love ya! Mon Mon
Cammron,
Just want to let you know that I am thinking and praying for you. As Amy, Lundyn, Jade, mom and I were coming home from a volleyball game not too long ago, the song Magic Carpet Ride came over the radio....I was you singing the guy part and Amy was me singing the girl part. It brought back that special memory we shared during Jr. Miss.
Keep the faith,
Dorie
Hey Cameron,
It's so great to hear how good your doing. We are praying for you here in IL. Our sunday school class has adopted you to continuously pray for you and your recovery as well! Every time I update Donnie on your progress, he bursts out with the song "Star performer"!
Be well my friend and know that God is faithful. Oh, and Trae and Gracie wanted me to tell you that they are praying for you every night before they go to bed!
Love Ya,
Kristen Dickerson
Cameron,
Wow...I've been so amazed to keep hearing so many amazing recoveries and miracles surrounding you and your amazing life! I can't wait until I can sit and talk with you, I'm sure you'll have so much wisdom to share from this whole experience! I can't wait until we are allowed to come and visit, I'll bring you some bubble wrap to help pass the time!(I remember you wearing that bubble wrap jacket on Tour E '02) Until you move to the 4th floor and we are allowed to come and see you.....rest and receive the peace of the Lord as you recover. You're on our hearts everyday, we are delighting in every small miracle along the way.

Well, it's sure been a long time but I wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers. I wish you the best in your recovery.

Dear Cam,
I had the GREAT opportunity on Friday morning to go to the hospital and give you your first hair cut since all has happened. I'm not sure if you remember, you were really tired. You kept falling asleep and I'd have to follow your drooping head down to the blankets. :-) You were really cold, too, so you asked Chantal to pull the blanket around your shoulders. At one point you started to shiver a little and she asked you if you were ok. You responded by saying "It's the hypothermia". Bless your heart, your room was so chilly, I'm sure you felt like you had hypothermia, but Chantal and I just giggled and I continued cutting your hair. (thought you'd get a kick out of that!) But we know that you're in very good hands, Cam, and that has been such a comfort to see. Your physical therapist, Mark, is amazing and while I was cutting your hair, it was such a joy to see the nurses coming by your room and just saying hi to you and sharing the excitement of your hair cut with you. You are loved deeply by so many people, and I pray that when you are feeling the discomfort or frustration of being in a hospital room, you will be comforted to know that you are not alone..... people from all over this country are thinking about you, praying for you, reading your blogs, and we're all right there with you. Josh and I are so blessed to be able to call you "brother". It meant the world to Josh when he visited you the other day, that you looked at him and called him by name. We love you so much. Get well, my friend. Until then.... Be still, and KNOW that HE is God.
Love,
Jess Wenig
Wow, Greg and I just got to come and visit you at the hospital! Praise God they moved you so you could have more visitors. Cameron, it was a blessing to look you right in the eyes and ask you how your day was. I could see the strength of the Lord there in your eyes, and it is so evident in your life. When I told you about the bubble wrap comment I posted earlier, you moved your fingers like you were popping the bubble wrap already, so I'm definitely going to bring you some next time. Keep pushing through, if anyone can do this, it's you and the Lord. You're an unstoppable team the two of you.
Brittany Henson
Well CB#1. I'm glad that you are doing a little better. I really just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know of coarse I am praying for you and I've got you on my sunday school prayer list as well. The more the better right? I love you and miss you bunches.
Love,

Hey Cam!!
You're in my thoughts and prayers everyday! I have so many great memories from our tour together, even though we hit the big 5 year mark this year...crazy that it's been that long isn't it? I loved how much fun we had getting to know each other before tour...you trying to guess my middle name and me trying to learn and remember the names of your siblings (in order at that)! Kasey and I had a blast sending out our little e-mail updates along the drive to CA, and it was a fantastic first day at camp getting to meet all of our online friends in person!
Keep getting better and keep your eyes on Him!! Love you!
Becca
Hey Cam, I've been checking on you from a distance ever since you went in. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.
Kelsen
Cam -
So it took me a while before I could post anything here for you to read when you get better.
First of all, I hope you're not mad when you realize just how much of your life me and Curtis have unleashed here into the blogosphere, but please know that we did it because we love you and I guess in some weird way this was our way of showing it (feel free to berate me for any inaccuracies you find by the way)
You were still unconscious the last time I saw you, so to hear that you are actually sitting up and talking is something of a wonder to me. I'm posting this at the end of more than 100 notes sent to you and I've read them all. They are filled with people telling you how much they care about you and pray for your recovery. I guess I'm really no different than any of them, but I just want to let you know that you have done the impossible Cam, you really have.
And I'm not talking about the whole "coming back from the dead" thing because let's face it, you've done it several times now (insert "million dollar baby" reference here) But you've also somehow managed to slowly suck the pessimism out of me and turn me into a positive person through all of this.
You scared me to death and I really didn't think there was a chance you'd come through this one. I can't really thank you enough for proving me wrong.
And now, since it can't all be serious.
For anyone out there who is confused by the "Sparky" reference to please email me at:
bonnerjessie@hotmail.com
I will tell you the story of how Cam got this nickname in full detail. Our big sister Lisa also tells a pretty good version of the story as well.
Great updates. Cameron, it sounds like you're making progress every day. We continue to pray for Christ to be formed in you as you go through this time.
Blessings,
Sharon Schliep
Hey Cameron,
Its Jessica Baas, the coolest light tech on the planet (ok, so I may be exaggerating).
Don't you know your suppose to be well? What are you doing there for? ;0)
Kidding Cameron. I just found this site; becca told me about it. Sorry to hear about all thats been going on. Yet...
I hope you have a GREAT day today, and keep a "chin upper lip" (whatever that means...I been wondering; do you know what it means?...I don't know, but it sounds good).
Anyhoo, tootles and be blessed!
Jessica
Hi Cam!!
I've been sitting here at work this morning thinking about you and this funny post tour story came to mind...
Do you remember how mad you got at all of us when we went to Disneyland? You were so adamant that you didn't want to ride anything where you'd get wet, but we all insisted on riding Splash Mountain. We sat you in front thinking you'd stay driest there...But I guess the weight of all 7-8 of us was too much for the poor log. You got drenched!!! I still remember the look you shot us getting off the ride ;) Lol Granted, we were all a little sleep deprived, so can't blame us for being grouchy.
Hope you can look back on it now and laugh! I hope that you continue to work on getting better - you've got an awful lot of fan mail to reply to ;) Love you Cam!!
Bec
Tacky joke to brighten your day!!
I mushroom walks into dance hall and wants to learn to dance. The dance instructor tells him that mushrooms can't dance here. He relies, "Why not? I am a fun-gi".
Ba-Dum-Chi!
Alright, hope your day is going just peachy!

Hey Cameron!
Just thinking about you! I was just at a Kirk Franklin concert and it reminded me of Estes! Oh but wait, you didn't get to enjoy any of those concerts!!! :) Well, he told a really cool story about his son running a relay race at a trac meet, and how coaches put there fastest runners as the last runner becuase they know they can catch up. He said that God is like our Coach, that He put us where we are for a reason, He knows that we can run the race and catch up! And no matter if you fall or get behind whenever you finish the angels in heaven applaud, just like the parents apppaud for the last kid who finishes the track race. Instead of giving up or getting discouraged, just reposition yourself for the remander of the race!
You are doing a great job at fighting and recovering!! Keep it up!
I Love You!
Amanda :)
Good morning Cam, So happy to hear of your progress! We are still praying and believing God's best for you! your friends at Pierce Community Church - Ted & Brenda M.
Dear Brother:
My family and so many other friends that you don't know are concerned and praying for you. Be strong! God will not leave you. In your silences, pay attention to God's whisper in your ear. He loves you so much.
Hugs from a friend in the Caribbean,

Hey Sweetie ! Awesome to hear you are doing so well. Aunt Willi got to visit you!? Excellant!...she is a doll~ ok Honey, you keep up the GooD WorK, we are so proud of you Cam :O) OX XO- Loves,auntie Jan&Uncle Phil
Hey Cam,
It's good to hear you are getting better! I'm still praying for you. Wow....it's been 5 years since our jp tour. Amazing how God directs our lives. Love ya Beth Ellis
Cameron,
I remember you, although it's been a while, and you may not remember me. If you remember the giant styrofoam Potato in a little town in Idaho, then you might remember me. I still have the picture of you in front of that potato on my computer and it pops up on my screensaver every now and then and I think of you. You stayed in my house the night you performed at my church. I believe you were directing JP. Not sure though. However, you inspired me so much that night, and no less than 2 years later, I went on my first continental tour. Then the next summer I went on another tour! Something that has always struck me about you is your will, your resolve, and your determination. The Lord has gifted you in that way, and I know that those things will become great assets in your fight. And I know that you will overcome so many obstacles, because you are the Lord's child, and He has a grand design for you. Just know that so many people are praying for you, and thinking of you. And the Lord hears all those prayers, and He is watching over you. God bless Cameron. Take care.

Hi Cam-
It makes no sense to me why you have to go through all of this, but I guess no answer would really satisfy. I want you to know that I continue to pray for you and think of you often. (Lately it's been "God please give Cameron a BREAK! :)It's the strongest people that God gives the greatest challenges to. Keep fighting (I know, easier said than done). I admire you so much.

Cameron,
Words can not express how much you mean to me. I am so excited that you are getting the surgery. I can't wait to hear how it goes. I will be praying for you continuously on that day. You are often in my thoughts and always in my heart. I miss you so much. You inspired me and taught me more than you could ever realize. I pray now that God blesses you the way that you have blessed everyone you have come in contact with. I pray that He guides the surgeons hands and gives them wisdom. Please know that I think about you often and wish that I could see you. You have a huge place in my heart Cam!!
Love,
