To the entire family: So sorry for your loss. Your Mom had a lasting impression on me. She was always smiling. She had a great sense of humor and was a wonderful friend to my Mom. May she rest in peace.

Dear Linda and Nicole, So sorry to learn of your Mothers' passing, I know how special she was to you both and what a special relationship that Nicole had with her when she was a little one as well, she used to mention her quite often. You were blessed to have each other- what a beautiful lady. With deepest Sympathy, Beth ( O'Reilly) Francoeur and Amy

Warm, loving, kind and blessed with a sweet nature. Those are the words that come to mind when I think of Ann. She made me feel like a part of the family, giving me wonderful memories to cherish. I won't be able to attend her service but will wear the scarf she gave to me years ago to honor her memory. Hugs to the Costa clan.

Mom, You and I were fortunate to share a good part of our lives together, and when Marie and I found each other, we separated households, but never our hearts. I have absolutely treasured the years with you, and will always continue to live the way you did, as a kind, genuine and loving person. Words cannot express how much I will miss you every single day. I will forever treasure all of the beautiful memories we shared that will give me solace and always feel your eternal love. I am so proud to be your Son, and to have had you as my as Mother. I am comforted knowing you are finally at peace with Dad and Steve. Thank you for loving me, and always being such an amazing Mom. I love you. RIP Jeff -

Your son, Jeffrey, brought us together. Little did I know that my loving family would grow by two, and I would be lucky enough to be able to call you Mom. You welcomed me into your life with open arms. I accepted, and because of this, we had many wonderful years together. Yes, life threw great challenges our way, but we stood up and stood by as we helped each other triumph, and that devotion to each other is what made us stronger. I got to know you as a very gentle soul, who would help any one in need. Empathy and love wasn’t just your calling for your career, but it is what everyone saw and felt when they crossed paths with you. There couldn’t be a more amazing legacy than to know that you touched the lives of so many during your time here on earth. I love you. Rest In Peace Mom.
