I had the pleasure of meeting Ebby on a trip she made to Texas many, many years ago. I have never forgotten her sweet grin, her sparkling eyes or her little giggle that would make a sad person smile.
She was, and "will" continue to be a blessing to the many people she touched throughout her life.
To those who never had the pleasure to meet Ebby, I must say, you truly missed out.
Ebby will live on in the hearts of many.
My thoughts and prayers to the Bergstrom family.

Please accept are deepest sympathy on the passing of Elizabeth. We had the great privilege of knowing both your aunt and uncle when they lived down the street from Ernie & Blanche Peterson. I had lost track of Elizabeth after Marie (Fleischacker) had passed, please know that we enjoyed them both at all the picnic's and get togethers the Peterson and Bergstroms had.
Your family will be in our prayers.

Ryan, Matthew, Reid and I are so sorry to learn of Aunt Eb's passing. We remember with great affection her gracious, kind and thoughtful ways. Her spectacular rice pudding recipe has become a family favorite -- sometimes even favored over birthday cake! -- and is now known by all in our circle of friends as "Aunt Eb's rice pudding"!
Although we cannot be with you in person, please know we will be with you in spirit on Wednesday.
with love from Debbie, Reid, Ryan and Mat Leonard
