Hi Eloise I remember you from CEDA working with Markita and I want to let you know that your story has touched my heart. You are the strongest individual I have ever met. You are truly a trooper and I thank God for all that He has done for you. God Bless You!!

The prayer, courage and faith in God that your mom exhibited have been triply manifested in you. Thanks for sharing and may your story strengthen others. I'm agreeing in prayer that the remainder of your years be cancer-free!

Weeze is the most amazing person. She is a joy to be around every week. Nothing can stop her. Not brain cancer, not breast cancer, no one can pull her down from living the life that God has given her. Thanks for sharing her story with the rest of the world so everyone can realize that nothing is impossible.

Hi WeezE, You probably don't remember me but I am a friend of the Warren Family. I met you at Doris's Sister's funeral and my husband and I have been praying for you everyday since then. You are an inspiration to all of us and I am glad God is healing you because he has a special work for you. Thanks for sharing your story. God Bless Carol Roberts

Hi Eloise. Your courage IS inspiring. Our families have been close for years, and throughout that time I have admired you for your strength and courage. Keep the FAITH & GOD BLESS YOU!

Thanks so much Eloise for letting me know about this. Unimaginable for a girl as young as you to go through...but your faith, determination to honor your Mother, and your strength got you through to the other end! By being so generous in sharing your story you have made us all stronger and more faith-filled.
