Anthony Feng I remember you sharing with me that you're a hugger, and then immediately getting a hug from you. I was brand new to the department so your kindness and warmth were immediately noticed and completely unforgettable. Thank you for bringing that to the workplace.
Sweet Rita. Your kind gentle nature was appreciated. You made sure all were notified and included. I will miss your Good morning and Good night emails. Be at peace.
You will be missed Rita! I always enjoyed seeing your smile when we take the same elevator to 3rd floor, or even when we pass by each other in the hallway. Rest in peace, Rita.
I will miss your beautiful smile, Rita. Thank you for teaching me how to make your favorite lasagna and lemon bar. Thank you for the teachable conversations we had when we carpooled together. Rest in peace!
I will always remember Rita's beautiful smile. It always brightened my day! Rest in peace, Rita, and God Bless!
You were always the sweetest person and a ray of sunshine in my day. Thank you for always being kind to me. You made me feel so welcome when I assisted at the front desk last summer.

Rita, I am so fortunate to have had a wonderful soul introduced into my life. Every interaction I had with you began with a smile so warm and bright, it was impossible not to smile back.

Fran Petrella My dear Rita! There are no words I can say that can truly express how much I miss you! You welcomed me with open arms, and of course one of your famous hugs, when I moved over to College Park to work with you on the Collections team. You gave me knowledge, yet I still have so much more to learn. I will continue to channel my inner Rita by saying WWRD! (What Would Rita Do!) Your smile, laugh, and caring for all has deeply touched me now and forever. I will truly miss the conversations we shared of our families, friends, and life. You gave us all so much love, it is something I will always hold on to and cherish forever. You were not just a co-worker, you were truly My Friend! I know you will continue to guide us all from above. Rest in Peace!

Dear Sweet Rita, I will miss your many anecdotes, how you would smile & giggle when you shared the memories of your childhood. How you lit up when you spoke & showed pictures of your grandchildren.
