Dear Editor:We would like to thank the wonderful staff of Downey Curves at Lakewood Boulevard and Gallatin Road, notably Debbie and Gaile, for creating a very special nurturing environment for its members. We are so very sorry the location is closing. Without Curves we would not have met some of the best women that Downey (and Santa Fe Springs, Huntington Park...) has as residents. Curves provided that blessed opportunity for our laughter to grow. We may move on to other locations but we will take very special Downey Curves memories with us. Bouquets of thanks to Debbie and Gaile for making this possible. Sue Flores and Carolyn Youssef, Downey
