“I just heard of Phyllis's passing and wanted to share my sympathies with the family. I have great memories of the Polzien Family picnics at Lake Okoboji and then in Lake View - she was always "Phyllis Diller" to me! Treasure the memories, she was a great lady. ”

“Teri and Todd, we send our sympathy in the loss of your Aunt Phyllis. I know how much you did for her, and how close you were to her. Your ministry to your family has not gone unnoticed and you are and were such a blessing to this dear woman. We will miss seeing her at nursing home church services. She was a delight to know, though only briefly. Love you, Donna and Bill”
