Dear Mr. Whiteley and family,
Even though I only knew Eloise for a short period of time, I loved having her here! She was an inspiration to all the members who watched her struggle with the machines but kept at it anyway!

Our condolences to you and your family for your great loss but take solace in knowing that God is taking care of her now.

Love, Carrie Essen and the members at the Curves of Orland, CA
