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 .

KEEP MY MEMORY

Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.

I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.

You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.

When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.

I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day

TO MY DEAR FRIEND

Flowers May Die The Sun May Set, But An Angel Like You We Will Never Forget. Your Name Is Precious It Will Never Grow Old It’s Engraved In Our Hearts In Letter’s In Gold.Love Anne xx

God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.

Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.

♥ ♥

I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You

♥♥

MY DEAR FRIEND

No Tears in Heaven..

.♥.•�. �•.♥.•�.�•.♥

They say there are no tears in Heaven,
But that must be wrong today.
Because you took part of my broken heart,
When you went away.
I know my tears must have followed you,
How else can it be?
My Spirit feels so broken,
Beause you’re no longer here with me.
They say someday I will accept your passing,
But, right now that can’t be true,
Because part of me is in Heaven,
My tears..... followed you....

.♥.•�. �•.♥.•�.�•.♥

All My Love Anne xx
