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 .

The Little Ship
I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted her white sails with a golden light, and as she disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, "She is gone".
But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, "She is gone" a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, "Here she comes!"

♥The gift of life is given, then its cruelly snatched away♥
♥It leaves so many broken hearts & sadness, come what may♥
♥Especially now at Christmas, which you loved with all your heart♥
♥The thought of you not being here is tearing us apart♥.
♥And yet we must be thankful, for the happy times we spent♥
♥When love & laughter filled the air, before the magic went♥
♥The pictures are so clear today, of a happy smiling face♥
♥The kind of perfect loveliness, which no-one can replace♥
♥This little Christmas message is to let you know for sure♥
♥The love that’s felt for you lives on, and will forever more.♥

Merry Christmas To My Angel Friends
I believe in angels
those helpers who are near
exactly when they're needed most,
then seem to disappear.
I know them when I see them
whatever their disguise
they're patient and encouraging
resourceful, kind, and wise.
Yes, I believe in angels
the kind that heaven sends
and I'm surrounded every day
by angels I call friends.
God gave me someone special
when He gave me
A special friend like you.
Have a Blessed Christmas! xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Christmas Without You
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
XXXXXXXX
The Wings Of An Angel
So Pure And So White,
The Wings Of An Angel
Holding You Tight,
The Wings Of An Angel
Caressing Your Skin,
The Wings Of An Angel
Keeping The Love Within.
These Wings From An Angel
Are My Gift To You,
These Wings From An Angel
Will Help See You Through. xxxxxxxxx
Wish we could be together
Thinking of you
Makes the miles disappear,
Together we're looking at bright decorations,
Enjoying what we like to do,
Thinking of you makes the miles disappear~
For you're missed very much
All year through…
So just because you're
Far away, don't think
For a moment that you're forgotten.
I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
And wishing you were here xxxxx
