Dear Hansen Family, I was privileged to work with your Elsbeth in Bellevue, WA. She was an expert in teaching scouting and I am sure she touched the hearts of many young men and taught skills in such a way that they will never forget them.
She has a gentle nature and is dedicated to serving others.
I use the present tense here because I am sure she is already serving and teaching Heavenly Father's children in the Spirit world, and rejoicing with Milo.

Dear Hansen Family,
How I loved Aunt Elsbeth. She and I always had a special bond and I will miss her. She always made me feel extra special and I really enjoyed my visits to Idaho when I was a teen and then her visits to Rockland when Mom was staying with us. Know that our love and prayers are with you. Our mission in Albuquerque prevents us from being with you in person.

Dear Terry, Karl, Val, Nelma and Mack:
Your mother was a treasure - a wonderful aunt that I will miss a great deal. She was one of the most consistent people I have ever met, very warm and sweet to me always and never flinched in principal. My parents loved and admired both Aunt Elsbeth and Uncle Milo. My love and condolences to each of you.
Your long absent cousin, Paulo Bangerter

Dear Family,
We share the loss of your Mother with you. She was a great lady, a loving friend, and a special daughter of our Heavenly Father. She was a perfect example of how we should live a Christ centered life. We loved knowing all of you and remember all of you with fond memories. On our two most recent trips to Utah to settle Roger's Mom's estate, we for some reason had your Mom on our minds, but we just ran out of time to go and visit with her. We are sorry now that we did not listen to those promptings. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will try to be at the graveside services.

Dear Family,
Your dear parents are reunited once again. Thank you for the memories with your family through out these many years. Maybe my Mom and Dad are joining in the welcoming of your mother. They certainly enjoyed their friendship for many years.
Our condolences to each of you.

Just wanted to say what a wonderful lady Elsbeth was. When we lived in the Crescent Park 1st ward I was always amazed at her capacity to serve any time she was asked. She was a wonderful example of someone who never "retired" from the Church! What a great lady. She will be sorely missed.

Dear Family,
