Condolences & Memories (39 entries)

• Cam & I shared a hospital room together - at birth. We later met up in high school and discovered our connection. It was so crazy at the time, but we became very close through high school and referred to each other as "sisters". Over the years we continuously crossed paths and always made plans for special celebrations of our birthday. My heart is so heavy and my deepest condolences to the family. I will never forget you my friend! Till our paths meet again. - Posted by: Lori Loran (Friend ) on: Nov 12, 2015

• I didn't know Cam, however, I've heard so many good things about her. My children knew her and spent a lot of time with her. My son used to love watching "The Walking Dead" with her. I'm not sure if she was a fan of the show or if she was watching it for his benefit. Either way, it was one of my sons favorite weekend activities. I also often hear from my children about a story they overheard about Cam. I'm fairly certain they weren't supposed to hear about the adults being immature but they managed to eavesdrop. She was with their dad and some other friends in Mexico and they got into some beach silliness! My children laugh about this story to this day and it happened over three years ago! Thank you, Cam, for being so good to my children and their dad. I appreciate it. I wish I could have told you that in person. - Posted by: Merrilee () on: Nov 12, 2015

• I met Cam through her brother Phil. I remember her as a very happy, go-lucky, down to earth person. I am so saddened for the family. My sympathies. - Posted by: Cheryl Main () on: Nov 12, 2015

• Dear Cam, I never met you but hearing your beautiful tribute has touched my heart as I have lost someone very close to me unexpectedly a few years ago. Life and love is not lost but celebrated as you will forever hold a special place in your families heart. I live in Australia and unfortunately we are still getting used to your favourite holiday but I promise to carry your spirit on in my country as best I can. I am the daughter of one of you aunties oldest friends so I feel necessary to pay my respects to your family. You obviously lived a very explorative, adventurous and exciting life. My prayers are with you as you start your new life in your own place just for you. My deepest condolences to your family.

• We worked together but also became friends. I've been reading the letter Cam wrote me my last day working there. Our paths crossed a few times after and we chatted like no time had passed.It's true that some people leave love in each person they meet.Its funny she admired me for my kind heart, but it takes a kind heart to see it in others.Cam was beautiful in every way. I'll see ya on the other side one day, till then my friend. - Posted by: Leah Badiou (Old coworker from Travel Lodge on Fermor) on: Nov 06, 2015

• Beautiful passage. Cam is a bright spirit that will continue to shine. My deepest sympathy to her family and her loved ones. - Posted by: Ginger Gill () on: Nov 06, 2015

• Camille and her family were our good neighbors in Lorette long ago. Camille was a sweet, kind and fun-loving girl. Her smile and happy disposition were contagious and I she was always so much fun to have around. Martha, Bertrand, and to the whole family- I can only imagine your grief and sadness at this time. I send you my most heart-felt sympathies and prayers. - Posted by: Gisele (Vielfaure) Chartier (childhood neighbor and friend ) on: Nov 06, 2015

• all I can say is Cam was my friend, I don't say that about many people, she always had her bubbly personality, always so outgoing with everyone, she could liven up any occasion, I am going to miss her great photos, I will miss playing pool, I am just going to "MISS" everything about her, R.I.P. Cam. - Posted by: Ken Pfeiffer (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2015

• I met Cam in 2007. She started working at JB'S Trophy 3 days prior to me. The moment I met her I knew she was a positive, happy, loving person. Her spirit was infectious. She always had a smile on her face and her laugh was so catchy. We came up with names for each other just because. I called her love muffin and she called me tiger. I'm still in shock over this unbelievable tragedy. Answers will never come to ease the pain of all who knew and loved her. But peace will come to those knowing she is now an angel walking amongst us. My sincere condolences to her family. - Posted by: Michelle Bordynuik (Friend and past co-worker) on: Nov 05, 2015

• Words cannot express how amazing this woman was. Cam was one of the kindest, intelligent, and caring individuals I have ever encountered. The hours that her and I would spend laughing, singing, telling stories, and being each others cheerleaders will forever be in my heart. I will never forget how encouraging, and supportive of me she was since the day we met. It feels like yesterday I was sitting on her patio drinking gin, and laughing about silly times. We had a mutual fondness for music. Everything from Dean Brody to The Beatles. I will never forget the time when we went to see a Kenny Rogers Christmas show, and we saw some people we did not want to run into. We spent the whole night ducking around the MTS Centre like ninjas. The love she had for her family, friends, and life was incredibly inspiring. Cam had such a huge heart. The only thing that rivaled her infectious and beautiful smile. She spoke so fondly of everyone she adored. Her family meant the world to her. My sincere condolences go out to her family, her friends, and anyone who was fortunate enough to have even the smallest conversation with her. - Posted by: Dutch Bickell (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2015

• Cam, i first met you as the girlfriend of my now brother in-law Jan Norman Desrosiers. Though you have been taken far too soon from this world you will never be far from my thoughts. Miss you. - Posted by: Doug Kropla (old friend) on: Nov 05, 2015

• I first met Cam at several country music events throughout Manitoba. We would gush about our favourite country music singers and places we're travelled. Cam and I ended up on the same trip to Mexico this past January through the QX Nation Vacation group. She always had a smile on her face and genuinely cared about others. We kept in touch more frequently after the trip and I am so grateful that this kind-hearted and brave woman was someone I could call a friend. Your sparkling personality will live on through wonderful memories we all have of you. Remember girl - I still owe you one. Rest in peace my beautiful friend . . . until meet again. - Posted by: Jennifer Noone (Friend ) on: Nov 05, 2015

• We met Camille on our nation vacation holidays to Mexico. She was a wonderful, loving girl, always so happy. We enjoyed your company which always ended with a hug. Will miss you. Gerrie & Henry Dzwonek. - Posted by: Camille LeBarge (friends) on: Nov 05, 2015

• With a very heavy heart I say Thank-You. 15 years ago YOU helped me to go, to get me and my daughter out. I only wish I could have done the same. You are a light shining bright - Posted by: Roberta Jeffrey (Friend) on: Nov 05, 2015

• I had the tremendous fortune to know Camille, but only for a short while. She changed my life. Never have I met such a fiercely independent, strong, thoughtful and courageous woman. I often witnessed Camille’s unparalleled generosity to others manifest itself in so many beautiful ways: Always thoughtful and caring, and always with the most wonderful smile on her face. She had the magical ability to make the people around her better. Camille was the most astonishing woman. She treasured and lived the concepts of simplicity and minimalism. But it was abundantly clear she was no simple woman. The Camille I came to know and understand was wicked smart, articulate and wise. She had a full appreciation of culture, and a desire to learn and expand. Her innate creative flair, style and raw talent was second to none, and exhibited itself in many fashions—even though sometimes she didn’t always realize it. I will always treasure our First Friday outings, attending the WSO, roaming local street festivals, and learning together about red wine. Thank you so much Camille for showing me how to live a better life. You are a true inspiration. Wherever you are now Camille, I’m certain the straw bales are massive, and the fields full of sunflowers the brightest possible yellow. I can still see your beaming smile from here! Camille Rose was the most brightest of lights, and she lit up my life beyond measure. - Posted by: Daniel (friend) on: Nov 05, 2015

• Camille was a close friend all through highschool, despite being in another grade, she integrated herself into our little band of misfits seamlessly. Her smile, he laugh and her love of life was a refreshing change from the teenage angst we were surrounded with back then. We lost touch for a while but I would think of her often. We lost a friend far too soon. - Posted by: Pedro Bedard (Old friend) on: Nov 05, 2015

• Dear Diane, I feel no words could console you at this moment. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and I send you all my strength through prayer to help you through this heartbreak. Love, Georgie xxx - Posted by: Georgie Poitras (Friend of Camille's Auntie Diane Brown (née Laberge)) on: Nov 05, 2015

• Dearest Camille, you will always be on Team Canada or our Ladies Team. You are a Joy and Will always live in our hearts. The QX104 Vacations will not be the same without your wonderful smile and forever happy converstations. The chair by the pool will always be held for you. Cheers Sharon and Lois Freeman - Posted by: Camille Laberge (Friends from QX104 vacations in Mexico) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Cam was the sweetest most loving person I know.... She always had a smile on her face.... I was blessed to be able to spend many times with her, working along side her while she would laugh constantly and make light of the bad things....I will miss you angel.... I know god has given you wings now, and now you will fly.... forever.... - Posted by: Mike Silvaggio () on: Nov 04, 2015

• I didn't know Camille very well but I did hang out with her brother Phil as we grew up in Lorette. I am so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Louise carriere (family friend ) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Cam and I met through our mutual love of country music, talking about Charlie Major on his Facebook page. Thanks to Charlie, we connected and had so many talks and shared so many stories about life, love, and family. She was a joy, and I always looked for her posts that always made me smile. We vowed that some day, we would meet at a Charlie Major concert and have a blast together. I'm so very sad to have lost her before we had that chance. To Camille's family, you were so loved by her. To her friends, you were her lifeline. How lucky all of us were to have shared this lovely young woman. You will be missed girlfriend. - Posted by: Peggy Freedman (Facebook Friend) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Although our paths hadn't crossed in over 30 years, the tragic news of Camille's passing has brought back a flood of fond memories of the years when our families grew up together as neighbors in Lorette. Whether it's the countless hours we all spent playing in the small woods between our homes, or all the fun we had splashing around in our pool, or the much-anticipated Saturday excursions to the candy store, my memory of Camille will always be that of a happy, vibrant, life-loving and fearless young woman. I have no doubt that her star now shines brightly, up in the heavens... My deepest, heartfelt sympathy goes out to you Martha, Bertrand, Philippe, Christine, Marie-France and your families. - Posted by: René Vielfaure (childhood friend/neighbour) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Cam and I unfortunately didn't meet in person but we 'met' on Facebook many mornings as she was getting ready for work and I was close to the end of my night shift. We spoke of many common interests and of meeting in person some day soon, it breaks my heart that now will never happen. As a single woman of approximately the same age and commonalities like our birthdays, gets July 10, mine July 11, our mutual preference for gin, and the life of a single woman, we had much in common. It breaks my heart that Cam's fear was real and in the end, prophetic. Did she know the end was near? I think somewhere deep down, she did. I can't imagine the pain that Martha is feeling, losing a child is something no one should ever experience, and there are no words that I can offer as comfort, nothing will ever be the same. May Cam rest in peace and I pray that her family find some peace as well. Thank you Maddie for writing such a heart warming and profound tribute to your beautiful sister, one can only hope that on our passing we will be remembered with such love and devotion! Cam was a truly remarkable woman who touched the lives of so many and will be remembered by those who knew and loved and by so many, many, more who regret having never met her. Much love to all who Cam touched in her life and ultimately, also, her death. My heart felt condolences to all...... - Posted by: Kelly McKenna (Mother-in-law to Marie, (Cam's sister)) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Thank you for writting such a wonderful passage. It's so true...and sad that Cam didn't get to celebrate her favorite holiday watching her favorite Halloween themed video: "Thriller" and trying to recreate the dance moves at the same time. My one regret was not joining her on that Halloween night 2 or 3 yrs go and just experiencing the joy and love that this fabulous woman radiated throughout her life. All of your "buddies" will miss you immensely. You truly were a Force of Nature! Much love, Suzie - Posted by: Suzanne Marion (friend) on: Nov 04, 2015

• I knew Camille initially through her younger sister Christine. Christine and I were close friends in junior high. It was a number of years later I was reunited through work, with both Camille and Christine. Cam was always a beautiful, smiling, positive girl that I was lucky to know, along with her sister Christine. I will always have happy memories of our times together. My heart breaks for their loss. - Posted by: Cheri Besignano (friend) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Cam I didn't know you very long but you changed my life. You touched everyone you came in touch with. My heart is broken and I will miss that wonderful smile you always gave out. Rest peacefully my friend. I will never forget you. - Posted by: Leslie Berryman (Friend) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Cam you always had a smile on your face that would light up the room when you walked in to it. You were fun loving, full of energy and had a personality to match. We hope you have found a nice stretch of white sand next to a lovely body of water and are sipping a nice cold glass of Gin. You will forever be remembered. Until we meet again my friend.

• I did not have the pleasure of knowing Cam personally but it sounds like her star will add brilliance to the heavens! Being a mother, I cannot comprehend the sorrow you must be feeling Martha. So tragic and hard to make sense of Cam's passing. My prayers are with you and your family... - Posted by: vicki yankoski (cousin-in-law) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Rest in Peace Camille. We would like to send out love and condolences to the family. There is nothing we can say that will make it any better. We loved her very much and are devastated by her loss. We have so many memories to cherish and all the things around our home that have had her special touch. Dawn and John Bronk - Posted by: Dawn and John Bronk (Friends) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Camille was such a kind person who thought of others before herself. Every morning I'd see her with that big smile on her face and we'd have a hug and a girly chat. She loved her friends and family so much and would always talk about them. I will miss her everyday. Love you Cam - Posted by: Claire Beardsley (Friend and Coworker) on: Nov 04, 2015

• We met Camille on the QX Nation Vacation in Mexico. She was a fun-loving woman, full of laughter and smiles (and with an occasional G&T in hand). We truly enjoyed the friendship we built with Cam, attending concerts, socials and bonfires together once we returned back to Canada. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this very sad time...we still can't believe she's gone. RIP Cam, heaven gained a truly beautiful angel. - Posted by: Traci & Dale Gledhill (Friends (QX Nation)) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Cam, although our frienship was short, you touched my heart deeply. We were looking forward to so many adventures together. My promise to you is every new one I take I will have you in my thoughts. May you be at peace now my friend. Until we cross paths again I will miss you. - Posted by: Cindy Bushell (Friend) on: Nov 04, 2015

• Camilla's smile and attitude towards life can never be matched, no matter what was going on, her family and friends always came first.

Till we meet again.... - Posted by: Troy harrison (Friend ) on: Nov 04, 2015
