It saddens me to tell all that on July-8-2004, Camilla passed away after a very short stay in the hospital (two weeks) in Carmichael California. The caused of death was "COTICOSTRIATONIGRAL DEGENERATIVE DISEASE". This is a very rare disease only women in their 50s are stricken with. There is no cure. She lasted two weeks. The longest on record lasted 22 weeks.

Camilla leaves three daughters, Helen 38, Heidi 36, Heather 34; and grandsons Mickey 18, Brandon 12, Mason 8; granddaughters Meaghan 18, Katie 15, Isabella 4, Emma 2; and great granddaughter Kristy 3.

Camilla's final resting place is at sea off the coast of Sonoma County by Seal Rock, Bodega Bay, California.

I want to thank everyone involved with this web site! I think it is wonderful and I have already heard from two classmates I have not seen or heard from since we graduated. Thank you so much!

After a marriage of 30 years and raising three wonderful daughters, I have been single for seven years. I have six grandkids, nine step grandkids and a great granddaughter! Being a grandparent is the most wonderful thing in the world!!!

Over the years, I have dispatched ambulances, was a manager in three different sales companies, worked as a social worker in skilled nursing facilities for ten or twelve years, and now am working for SBC/Pacific Bell as a directory assistance operator. Very interesting work!

A year ago I had brain surgery to remove a benign tumor that has left me deaf in my left ear. I am still recovering from it. It also took away my balance so must use a cane to keep from falling! Which I have done several times! I may or may not recover fully, but it has not stopped me from doing my favorite thing, and that is tent camping at Bodega Bay. I go as often as I can and walk the beach and collect shells. It is so relaxing and renews my spirit!!

I was lucky enough to go on a cruise to Mexico with my mother and 3 of my sisters in 1998. (My ex was not the traveling kind). Other than that, I have been to San Diego on another trip with two of my sisters where we spent nine days seeing the sights of LA and San Diego. If you ever get the chance to go to LA don't miss Medieval Times! It was a fabulous show!!

I love music and poetry and have been very fortunate to have had two of my poems published. I am an avid reader as well. There are lots of things I want to try, such as painting. I do a lot of crafts too. Well, I may not have had a very exciting life but I would not have missed any of it for the world! My children and grandchildren have truly been a blessing and my dear friends as well, two of whom are classmates I am trying to convince to log on to the web site!!

Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity to keep in touch and see what has happened to everyone over the years. Hopefully I can dig up a picture to send in the near future!
