Dear Harold, Betta and family,
The mountains will never be the same without my dear summer neighbor and friend. I will forever remember her smile, her stories, her support and hope. I will miss our late afternoon pool days She was a shining light in this world and I hope it continues on. A blessing to so many.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I lost an intelligent and interesting friend and client. She will be greatly missed. Her phone calls used to make my day. Sincere sympathies to Dr. Kolansky and family.

Dear Harold, Betta, Dan and Ana, Jeff and Maggie and the David, Jack and Matt,
I know how much you will miss Elsa, but I know you will remember the many blessings of the beautiful years you shared together.
She loved you and you were always a source of strength to her. Elsa and I worked together for years in Szold Hadassah. She was always funny, most capable and devoted to community welfare. What a coincidence that our grandchildren shared classes and became good friends at Akiba-Barrack.
May Elsa's memory remain for a blessing.
Avi and Alan Katz

Full of life!

My thoughts are with the Kolansky family. I didn't know Elsa well, but remember her with great fondness from our resident evenings at the Kolansky home studying Freud. Her care and thoughtfulness permeated the house.

Sincee condolences to Betta and family.
