Anne's Retirement after 16 years as Churchwarden

 

NOTE FROM ANNE BRIDGE
THANK YOU . . . . seem very small words to express my huge gratitude for the overwhelming gifts you all so very kindly gave me on my retirement as a churchwarden.   The past 16 years have been a great privilege and pleasure, and so with my very grateful thanks for the beautiful Daphne shrubs and generous cheque, my thanks too for all the love and support given to me by everyone over the years.   Thank you all so much.

 

With love,

Anne
