Teressa, Allen and family. Eldena loved you completely. She always had kind things to say about you.
Who knows how many lives she saved with her devotion to her work. She was always there for those of us who stayed connected to our patients via Sincerely Yours. She contributed to the successful careers of many medical students, residents, and doctors. She taught many lessons in her quiet way.
I can still hear her laughter over the phone.
Her faith has always been genuine and deep.
