GOD BLESS RITA
Rita was very ill ten years ago and almost lost her life then she was in hostpital for six months
and she had three operations.but pulled through as rita said it was the thought of coming home to
her dogs that spurred her recovery from two brain haemorrhages and a massive heart attack.
but Rita was told how her two beloved dogs were given new homes by Bradford Social Services as she
battled for life in hospital.It was a fairy tale ending for the 60-year-old, of Thornton, Bradford,
who was fighting for her life in hospital, when new owners were found to look after her prized
dogs.Mike Craig, manager of the riva bingo who spearheaded a £400 fundraising campaign to pay for
for ritas dogs back for concerned rita, said he was "thrilled to bits".
rita said she felt ecstatic as she hugged nine-year-old Yorkshire terrier Benjamin at the Riva
Bingo Club, in Tong Street, Bradford, .The crowd openly wept as the two dogs - commonly known to
rita as 'my boys' were bought on stage to see her."I just want to thank everyone at the Telegraph &
Argus, the bingo club and (Terry Singh dog warden) for all their help. I am so grateful," she said::
Sadley after a few years tiny and benjumin passed away but she had also then got bonnie that she
bought as a pup,
FROM THAT DAY ON RITA STARTED TO GET BETTER AND I STARTED TAKING HER TO LINEDANCING SHE JUST DID HER
OWN THING BUT LOVED GOING.THEN TO BINGO WITH ME.UNTILL ONE NIGHT SHE GOT MUGGED BY A DRUG ADDICT AT
HER GATE HE GRABED HER ROUND THROTE AND TOOK HER BAG ALSO THEY WHERE GOING IN HER HOUSE TAKING LARGE
AMOUNTS OF MONEY UNTILL IN THE END I THINK RITA GAVE UP.AS POOR SOUL DIED SIX MONTHS LATER ,BUT YOU
WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED RITA BY ME AS LONG AS I LIVE .

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved ones gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory
They live on in the heart..

The wings of an angel come from God above,
and opened wide are wings of love.
The wings of an angel to help us cope,
bring peace, love, faith and hope.
The wings of an angel to comfort thee,
but God's sweet love is what we see.
The wings of an angel I'll pray for you,
that the wings of love will see you through...
