God is smiling at Aunt Bev. right now. I never met Aunt Bev. at least that I can remember but I have heard some of the stories my older sisters have told me about her. She was a wonderful person. I am sorry I did not get to know her better. Jeff Pollreis one of Robert Pollreis' sons.

To my parents, all of my aunts and uncles and cousins, I am sorry I could not make the trip for Grandma's services. Know that you are all in my thoughts and my sympathy goes out to you during this time of sorrow.

I have very fond memories of my Grandmother and will always remember her laugh and love of life. I have always cherished the times I’ve spent at Grandma’s house, how she always showed kindness and love for us, how she always let us eat all the cookies and soda we wanted, and didn't get upset when we lit firecrakers in her back yard. I still, to this day…swear I saw Santa Claus running thru her kitchen one Christmas after Grandpa took us kids out to see the Christmas lights. It is now only later in life I realize how special she was and how much she did to make me feel loved.

My sympathy goes out to all of Aunt Bev's children and their children.
she was a wonderful woman. We Pollreis children always had a great time going to visit her, Uncle Don and you kids in Grand Island. She always made sure we had a fun time. I remember playing with your pet rabbits. I thought she was pretty cool to let you have them.. with love , Patty ( Trisha )

To the family- I want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Aunt Bev was a very special lady and I will never forget her. To this day, I still tell my friends and relatives about all those hunting trips to Grand Island-where Donny and I "got" to crawl thru the thickets 'cause our dads did not have a dog. After a hard day hunting, I knew that aunt Bev would have a fantastic supper waiting for us. She is gone now to be with uncle Don. I will continue to tell stories about both of them, as they hold a special place in my heart.

To the family.
God bless you all during this time of grief for the loss of your mother. Mary and Joan, it has been a joy to get to know you and look forward to continuing the friendship. Thank you for sharing your mom with us. Bev and our mom have gotten their reward and are reunited with their husbands. But I bet they are talking about the 4 of us . God bless you and Bev will be missed.

Joan and Mary, it was nice getting to know you all over again while taking care of your mother. I know I was only there a short period of time, but your mom was very special since I remember her from previous experiences. You are both in my thoughts and I wish you the best in the future.

My sympathy is sent to all of my sister's family.
I have many beautiful memories of Bev while we were growing up. I nicknamed her "Putt", because she was the baby of the family and the name stuck for years. I am now 85 and cannot make the trip from Florida to Nebraska for her services, but I am sending my love and prayers to all of you. Uncle Bob Pollreis, Bev's brother
