Dear Arthur and Family,

We are all so very sad to hear the news about Phyllis. Summers in Hull will never be the same without her. She was always there with a warm hello and smile. We will miss the two of you holding hands walking down the beach. She was a special lady with so much grace. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With Love,
