To our friend Betty and her family, we are very saddened to hear of Cam's passing. A friend from our early Scouting days and travels south in our retirement years, with many adventures along the way, Cam will be missed. The memorial service touched us both and the slide show brought back many memories. We know that Cam is now in the loving presence of our Lord. May the Lord walk with you and comfort you at this time of sorrow. Your friends in Christ. Scott & Kathy
Our condolences and prayers go out to the Clarkson Family. Cam was a great friend that always brought happiness wherever he went. We met Cam & Betty while on our first Sower Project in Phoenix in 2004. They have been some of our best friends ever since. We always looked forward to serving the Lord with them on projects .
Our deepest Condolences to you Betty, wish we could be with you. Our prayers are with you.
My deepest condolences to the Clarkson family on the passing of their lived one, Cam Clarkson. ❤
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We sympathize with you, as we all just went through it with the loss of my mom. Stay strong and support each other throughout this difficult time. Love from our family
We will miss him, but we know who he is with, now, his Lord and Saviour Jesus. The many years we were able to work with him were some of the best years of our lives.
Betty, sending our deepest condolences to you and family. We hope your memories bring smiles, laughter and some tears and bring you solace at this difficult time. We will miss Cam and our chats at Lakewood. Janet & Laird
I am so thankful for the times of fellowship I enjoyed with Cam and Betty while they at the Stillwood Camp near Chilliwack where they helped in the Fall cleanup of leaves and other debris that comes in the forested area of Stillwood Camp. It is so comforting to know that Cam is with the Lord, and we will spend Eternity with him. It also is good to know that the Lord will be with Betty as she grieves the loss of her husband as we hold her up in prayer.
