Cameron Matthew Bieberle

Wendy,

As I poured over each and every page on your precious son Cameron's memorial site, every photo, every word written by you, by his grandmother Janet, by family members and friends that love him so much, I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love shown here.  Not at all surprised but still overwhelmed.  Of course, you know I feel your pain, a pain we never want anyone else to experience.  You captured Cameron's spirit in these pages and I know how difficult that is and yet when you have an amazing child in some ways it is also so very simple.  Although I cried looking at the amazing memories of Cameron I do also have to say I smiled and even laughed when I got to the Audio/Video page.  The newscaster clip reminded me so much of a clip that Matthew would have downloaded, that same sense of humor.  And the clip of Cameron, what a treasure that is to have, and it really shows his unique and amazing personality.  I am so glad you chose to include in on the site.  I also smiled when I saw him with his Goosebumps book.  Matt loved reading Goosebumps when he was little and even belonged to the Goosebumps Bookclub so that he could get them sent out monthly. :-)  The extreme close relationship between Cameron and his grandparents is so apparent.  Again something he and Matt share.  There is not a doubt in my mind that the two of them are good friends now.  Although I wish that we never had to meet the way we did at Compassionate Friends, since we have both been thrown into this nightmare I am so glad to know you.  We put a mask on for others but there is no doubt in my mind that Cameron is so incredibly proud of you.  I know I am. 

With love,

Connie

Wendy,

I love what you have done with Cameron's website. What touches my heart the most is the video Cameron made, although it will make you cry, in the end you can't help but laugh. Cameron always had a way to make us smile. Hope we can get together soon. we will definitely be there for Cameron's birthday. Let me know if need help with anything or just need me-I Love You

I love you and want to you know if you ever need anything or just to talk give me a call.

                                                                

Wendy,

I have no words to express my feelings for your loss. I only know that I have tears streaming as I look at the gallery. Have faith and know that one day God will reunite you with Cameron. Live each day with the blessing of your daughter. I hope all that learn of our loss, decide to make each second count for more with precious loved ones. I will continue to have you in my prayers and maybe one day there will only be fond memories rather than the pain of loss. May God Bless you until then with the strength you need. -K

Hey Little Sister,

I just wanted to send my love to you and the family. I have thought about what i am going to say to you when i see you again. I know there are no words that can ease the pain you are going through right now. Just know that I love you so much and I wish I could be there with you right now holding your hand and giving you hugs and kisses everytime you needed one. Wendy I know you said you understood why I couldnt be in florida when you needed me most and i am so sorry for not being there. I will never be able to forgive myself for letting you down in your time of need. Just always remember that I love Cameron so much and I know that one day we will be together again.

You are my baby girl and I just hope you know how much you mean to me. I love you sis and i keep you in my prayers each day. God Bless and hang in there. I will be home soon.

love forever your Big sister Cyndi

When this horrible event occured, it couldn't have been more of a reality check for me and the friend's Cameron left behind. I never wanted to be closer to my family, create the most of my memories with friends, and grasp life for what it really is. Although I wish I could have created a stronger bond with Cam, I always knew what a nice person he was. When I was at your house during the first couple of hard days, I felt a matureness in all my friends, the same old ones who I am used to going out with and goofing off with. In these events, I couldn't have felt closer with the people that mattered to me most in my life. Praying every night and having real life talks with friends and family. There is no doubt in my mind that Cameron's spirit is with your family each and every day. Here is something I wrote-

Cam-
Your candle burned too quick, yet your flame burns inside us.
A mark left unerased, a scar that's meant to last.
Regrets can linger without request, but leave the sorrows in the past.
Meant for bigger and better things, your new life in paradise is well deserved,
For your spirit inside us is well preserved.
We've only begun to celebrate in your name,
Your absence has proven the statement true,
"Absence makes our hearts grow fonder"
Thank you for making us all stronger.



Much love, and count me and my friends in for the Bday.

I think of you all so often and want you to know that you and Cameron are in my prayers.  Be well and know that many people care about your family.  Best Regards, Debbie

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  We worked together at WPHS briefly when Cameron was a 10th grader and I remember his affection for you, as well as his strength and determination. 

My heart goes out to all of you and your family.  I will miss the talks with Cameron when I cut his hair.  I remember when his hair was cut he told me he never thought I would like it so much short!  I will always have a special place in my heart for sweet Cameron.

I remember so clearly the day so long ago that Wendy got teary-eyed when I said that I never wanted to have children.  You told me that you didn't want me to miss out on having that kind of love in my life.  You were so right and now that is why I can't imagine one of the loves of your life being taken away so suddenly and so young.  No parent should ever have to do what you have to do.  I know that you may feel very alone and that no one really understands what it is like, and you are right.  There are not many people who lose their children.  But please know that even though I have not felt that pain, that I will help you to never let Cameron be forgotten.  I will remember his birthday, and I will remember and be here for you on the anniversary of when he lost his life.  I will always remember how polite and respectful he always was.  You are both great parents and were always there for him no matter what.  No one could ask for better parents. 

Wendy,

I just wanted to send you this in hopes that you had as good a weekend as can be expected.  It breaks my heart to see the pain that you are going through when I see you at the office.  I know that it has to be difficult, but you strike me as a very strong person, lean on those around you when you are having a bad day, that's what they are there for.  I hope the days get a little easier for you as time goes on, you still have a lot to look forward to in your own life.  My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family.

Over the past month and a half I've been trying to figure out and process what happened.  I've been looking for some kind of answer to why something like this would happen.  Why someone with so much life and potential left, something so horrible would happen.  I asked adults, friends and even my preacher, but somehow what they said didn't answer it all for me.  Then I read a quote and it helped me a lot and I don't know why but I just felt like something was telling me to share it with you.  "It's nobody's fault.  The great circle of life has begun, but you see, not all of us arrive together in the end...He'll always be with you as long as you remember the things he taught you.  In a way, you'll never be apart because you are still a part of each other."  Always here for you.-Matt
