    It is only recently, with sadness, I learned of Phyllis’ passing. I worked with her for many years at Brewers’ Retail in London and we remained friends long afterwards. Unfortunately, as life goes, we lost touch later in life but I thought of her on and off throughout the years. She had a contagious laugh and a fantastic sense of humour. My sincere condolences to the family.
