Susie and I were at Camp Roberts, CA when Ray was in basic training. She and I
shared a room in the WAC dorm. She was such a wonderful young woman and we became fast friends. Many good memories here. God bless!

My wife and I got to spend some time with Mrs. Camp at a Christian Bible camp many years ago. She left a lasting impression of love and care and joy. She cheered people up, made their lives better, and was incredibly positive in her outlook on life. How thankful we are for the Hope of Christ's return that we will see her again.

Susie was such a sweet and caring lady. When I worked for her at Body shapers she would walk in the building and light it up with her smile and sweet spirit. May God comfort and give peace to her sweet family.
