OLTEN Elizabeth Kay Olten, 9, of Jefferson City, was welcomed into the arms of the angels on Wednesday, October 21, 2009. She was born December 15, 1999, in Jefferson City, a daughter of Patricia "Patty" (Carwile) Preiss and Dale Olten Sr. Elizabeth was currently a fourth grade student at Pioneer Trails Elementary School in Jefferson City. She was a lover of music, and some of her favorites included Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift. She loved horses, playing with her friends, and especially enjoyed baking cookies and doing puzzles with her Mom. She also loved to play dress-up with her animals. She is survived by her mother: Patty Preiss of the home; her father: Dale Olten Sr. of Bowling Green; two sisters: Stephanie Adrian (husband Alex) of Jefferson City and Candice Olten of Columbia; two brothers: Anthony Olten of the home and Dale Olten Jr. of Bowling Green; maternal great-grandmother: Eula Hopkins of Owensville; maternal grandmother: Sandra Corn (husband Harold) of Sullivan; two aunts: Cindy Spurgeon (husband Randy) of Owensville and Pam Sills (husband Mike) of Jefferson City; one uncle: Rick Carwile (girlfriend Debbie) of Owensville; a niece: Jaidence Adrian of Jefferson City; a nephew: Kaiden Adrian of Jefferson City; an honorary dad: Gary Bemboom of Jefferson City; and several cousins. She was preceded in death by her maternal great-grandfather: Louis Hopkins. Elizabeth's family would like to sincerely thank all of the volunteers who showed up to help, Peggy from Missouri Missing and all of the Law Enforcement agencies that assisted in any way. We truly appreciate you surrounding our family with your love and compassion at this difficult time. Friends will be received from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday at the Houser-Millard Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 28, 2009, at Concord Baptist Church, with the Rev. Dr. Monte Shinkle officiating. Elizabeth loved horses and will be taken in an antique horse drawn carriage to her final resting place at Hawthorn Memorial Gardens. Expressions of sympathy may be made to Missouri Missing in memory of Elizabeth Olten. Arrangements are under the direction of HOUSER-MILLARD Funeral Directors, 2613 West Main Street, 636-3838. millardfamilychapels.com

My heart breaks for the mother & the family that is left to bear the pain. I know little Elizabeth is with God, but in the hearts of the ones left behind it is an emptiness & a longing in your hearts that will never leave you. For the mother Patti, I do know God will hold you up everyday until you too one day get to be with your daughter again. I am so very sorry for all of you.

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.

I remember when I lost my sister to tragedy, God only knows why such things happen. However in this time of darkness keep your faith in God, and hold on tight to your family. Scream and cry as much as it is needed, no one teaches us how to mourn or how to prepare for such devastation. Your daughter was beautiful, hold on to those precious memories. God bless you and keep you.

I give you this one thought to keep~
I am with you still ~ I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone~
I am with you still ~ in each new dawn.
Thinking of you, God bless.

WHEN GOD CALLS LITTLE CHILDREN"
When God calls little children
to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of his love
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before he can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so he takes but a few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still
somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.
