Rita was the first person in Goodrich to take me under her wings and be my friend. I was so intimidated being there as I looked different and did not really understand the FDL culture... and here was Rita, inviting to a party my first week. She showed me extraordinary kindness and often took me out or invited me to her place for a meal. I loved going to her place and learning all about her Latvian culture. She was also one of the few people that kept in touch with me when I returned to India. I was so happy to keep in touch with her and then to reconnect with her just before she died. She is really  missed.
