Sometimes a simple act of kindness can go a long way.

Saturday, the sister of former Colorado quarterback Sal Aunese, Arieta Aunese-Leulua’i, was moved to tears after she opened an envelope titled “From a Fan,” left for her at a Los Angeles hotel. Inside was a $100 gift card and a note from an anonymous CU alum that read:

“Compliments of a CU grad and fan who saw your license plate in the parking lot. He followed Sal and that great 1989/90 season all of the way to the Orange Bowl. He said sorry for your loss.
