I'm so sorry to hear of Phyllis' passing, and at such a time of year as this. I remember long Saturday afternoon talks with Janice and her. She was such a quiet, steady soul and beautiful person, inside and out. I know the heartache you all are experiencing right now. Know that God is with you as are my prayers for comfort and strength. Love and Peace to you all, Karla (Wunderlin) Unke

May God comfort you in this time of grief, but rejoice in knowing that she is resting peacefully with Him now. I'm saddened to hear the news of Phyllis' passing; but very grateful that I had the chance to reconnect and visit with her, just a short time ago. She was a great woman of faith who instilled a love for God in my life early on. I will always treasure the memories spent with Runde family and Phyllis. Prayers for healing during this difficult time for you all. Much love, Stephanie.
