We are sad to report the death of Roderick Tearle, whose family have had a long association with St. Paul’s Church. For many years Roderick and his wife Margaret lived in Alexandra Road until they, and Margaret’s widowed mother Nancy West, moved to Kings Langley. For many years Roderick brought his brass ensemble from the Royal Shakespeare Company to play on Sunday evenings during the St. Paul’s Flower Festival. Those who attended the concerts will remember him particularly for his talent, charm and humour.

Babs Hounslow writes to say that she has been overwhelmed by beautiful cards, letters and messages during her stay in Hemel Hempstead Hospital for the past five weeks. She would like to thank her neighbours, friends and Chipperfield Care for their marvellous support. Babs is particularly grateful to her wonderful neighbours who have gone to and from the hospital with bags of belongings, washing etc. She is now in a lovely light and spacious room of her own at Gossoms End in Berkhamsted.
Best wishes to Joan Brown who celebrates her 80th birthday on 17 July.

The Hospice of St. Francis has received donations of £397.00 in memory of James Hands. Ethel, Margaret and Peter would like to thank everyone for their support and help at such a difficult time.
