Vale to my 'Auntie' Phyl - Phyllis Crane - 1923 - 2015.

Rosie Cobcroft & Phyl Dash - about 1936

My mum Rosie met my 'Auntie' Phyl on their first day of school, they were 5 years old and held hands as they walked into the classroom on that day.  That was 1928, 87 years ago.

Penny, thank you for writing this piece, I now know the connections between Phyllis, aka Granma, and Rosie thus the connection between your family and mine.
Wonderful friendship :-)
Thanks again,
