    Ellsbeth was wonderful; smart, funny and kind. I taught her in my environmental science class when she was 14. She was A+ and always smiling. She was a sweetheart. My heart goes out to David and Quinn.

    I remember Elsbeth as being so wonderfully artistic and unique – we went to high school together – I am sorry to hear of her passing.

    Elsbeth was two years ahead of me in my sister’s class, but she was always kind to me, funny and sweet and always smiling.. I’m so very sorry to hear of her loss. My thoughts are with her family.
