The best sister in the world lives at Framfield

The best sister in the world – that’s Ann Finch of Cleve Close in Framfield.

So says Cumbria-based Mary Smith who is often taken by surprise when Ann, who is pictured here, sets up treats for her.

The latest was discovered when Mary and her husband Ken, who is waiting for a liver transplant, called in at a pub after a hospital visit, enjoyed a meal and then found that Ann had thought ahead and paid for it for them.

Mary decided she would like to say a public thank you to her sister and Uckfield News.com is happy to help spread the word.

Mary said: “Ann is absolutely lovely, a really neighbourly and thoughtful type. She is always thinking of the most wonderful surprises and all her support has been much appreciated as we have been going through quite a traumatic time. She is the best sister in the world.”

• Here at Uckfield News we really like an idea suggested by Mary to launch a Golden Heart award especially for people like Ann who make a difference to the lives of other people through their thoughtful and caring ways.

If you would like to recommend somebody you know for this award - which gives you chance to sing their praises and say a public thank you to them on the Uckfield News website - please call us on 01825 760102.

In the meantime it is fitting that Ann should be our first Golden Heart award winner!
