We would like to convey our thanks to everyone for donating in memory of Rita to aid us in our work at The Donkey Sanctuary. We are very grateful to everyone for remembering Rita in this way. We care for over 6,600 donkeys on a daily basis on Sanctuary farms in the UK, Ireland and Europe and this will also enable us to give comfort and medical aid to others less fortunate through our international projects and partners. Our thoughts are with you all.

Thank you Rita for the neighbourliness you shared with Jacquie and extended beyond with us. Gerry and Teresa Mogg

‘Nanny Rita’ is a name all the children will always remember as being the kindest true Nanny, always there for you, toys in the cupboard, treat for the dogs and a overall a wonderful lady who will always be missed. Boxing Day tea will be sadly missed by us all but a tradition that will live on. Always in our hearts and always remembered - lots of love xx
