An appeal has been launched for people to send cards to a Storrington woman who lost her husband of 56 years just days before her 83rd birthday.

Full time carer Sharon Goldring is hoping to bring some sunshine to her mum, Janette, after her husband died on Tuesday (May 12). He had contracted Covid-19.

Sharon paid tribute to her dad Roy Trevor Goldring, 82, from Storrington, as a ‘wonderful person’ who would ‘help everyone in need without a second thought’.

“He’d do anything for anyone, he’d give you the shirt off his back, that’s the sort of man he was, selfless,” said Sharon, who is also involved with charity and community organisational work.

“Dad was very outgoing and chatty, he’d talk the hind leg off a donkey given half a chance; he was a very open man and would open his heart to anyone who was prepared to listen.
