Diana & Kathleen Hester, sister and mother of murdered transsexual Rita Hester, share some of their feelings about their loss and the National Transgender Day of Remembrance. Rita Hester was found stabbed to death in her apartment in Brighton, Massachusetts, on the morning of November 28, 1998. She had been brutally murdered the night before, stabbed repeatedly and beaten about the head and shoulders. A candlelight vigil held for Rita by an ad hoc committee of friends, family and activists drew over 250 people and inspired the annual observance of a National Transgender Day of Remembrance.
