My condolences to the family. So sorry for your loss. Cam was related to my ex husband, Terry. Terry has also passed. I still have my cookbook Earlyne gifted me at my wedding shower. She was a loved by many and will be missed.

It was a privilee to get to know her during the car rides to church and back in her late years. She reminded sharp when she was able to hear. She took time to cook nutritional meals and even made desserts that were good us. Although Cam and Earlyn experienced great loss, they chose to live out to be better, not bitter. I thank God they were part of our Covenant Family and they were faithful every Sunday.

Earlyne was a respected and valuable member of the Crooked Lake community for many years. She and Cameron were the people consulted when newcomers wanted to know some of the history of the lake. She pointed out a maple tree on my property that she said she used to climb when she was younger! Dedicated caregiver for Cameron in his later years.

So sorry to hear of Earlyne passing. She was one of my Silver Maples Artists and also a great friend. She was so witty and was a great one for getting everybody excited about what ever we were doing. Creative and talented, with a great sense of humor. I will miss seeing her smile and hearing her funny remarks. I still have her artist creation of our edition of the Silver Maples Vogue Seniors Magazine, Sending Prayers and love your way.
