"Practice Random Acts of Kindness".   We have all seen that bumper sticker.  We have likely also randomly acted kindly once or twice.  I'm sure Rita saw that bumper sticker too.  But she ignored it.  She acted kindly always, continuously.  Whether or not anyone was looking.  Rita was the most selfless person I've ever known.  I remain forever grateful for her love and presence in my life.

She was so full of life. Always with a smile, never seemed down. Our Friday night dinners where wonderful for years. They went on for years and then people started moving away or even passing away. The memories and friendships will always be remembered as will Rita. Love to the family, she will be missed.
