Way up thread, NordP suggested we all do 5 random acts of kindness in remembrance of Tony. It doesn’t have to be any thing major, just holding the door for someone or letting someone merge in front of you in traffic. NordP, would you be able to repost that? It was great.

And it’s great idea, Lynne .. thank you. We can sure all be better people and extend ourselves to others, even in small ways.
When my Mom died (Feb 24th) I asked all her friends...well everyone that knew me or her...instead of sending flowers or gifts, or even cards, please: Perform five random acts of kindness in her honor. These can be anything from holding open a door for someone behind you, or letting someone in front of you in traffic, etc. My Dad used to cut coupons and would put them near the items in the grocery store--you could be a coupon angel even....ANYthing kind. Then, either silently or aloud say, "This act of kindness was done in ____ honor. God Bless _____."
A friend of mine who staffs for a local Hospice told me that her boss was so impressed with that idea, that they officially put it into their program. She said, "The families of those with cancer so often ---don't know what they can do to help. This gives them something to do for the living, too....to do something good, in their loved one's honor. It brings beneficial energy and hope." I was thrilled that my Mom had a small part in that. Also, I got reports back from her friends that they felt her near them, when they did their act of kindness...it was weird and very wonderful.
LET'S ALL DO FIVE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS IN TONY'S NAME!!!
