Love you Mom don’t know what I’m going to do without you
Glad you’re not suffering anymore.Thanks for taking care of all of us
Such a sweet lady. So sorry. My condolences to Pat and the entire Costello family. God be with you in your time of sorrow.
Mom, thank you for everything. Every meal cooked, every drive to school, every day at the pool, every birthday cake, Easter dress, Christmas present, every math problem solved, every kitten and puppy cuddled, every consolingly word in tough times, every guardian Angel prayer, and all the laughter and fun we shared. You built a wonderful world for us all to live in. Never to be forgotten. Love you forever.
The Accounting department at Cambridge Investment Research would like to wish our condolences to the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry for you’re loss. I am so happy that I met you and take care of you at the Retirement home. You made me laugh and I loved listening too you’re stories. I’m going too miss u.
My sweet grandma, I will treasure those Omaha summers coming to visit you. The memories of going swimming, painting our nails and your delicious potato salad. I will always remember you singing and telling jokes. I am happy you are at peace now and you can rest. You led a beautiful life, surrounded by family who loved you dearly. I love you and I will miss you very much ❤️
Dear Marilyn, you were always so kind to me,I always enjoyed sitting around having nice long chats , telling us about your life as a young girl with your sisters then you would burst into “ Rickati Rackatl”
Always word perfect, always joyful!
You and Pat would go on to create such a wonderful bunch of lazy pups! Now look at them, less lazy and definitely less puppy like.
Going to miss your humour(bad jokes) and of course your honesty.
Here’s to your new journey!
All my love, Dave
To Dear Marilyn Carolyn Larson Costello, all love and blessings to you and endless thanks for being Jeanne’s mother and for being such a wonderful mom to her and everyone all those years. I never knew when I married Jeanne that I would get a whole new family, and thank you for treating me like a son. My mom and dad had passed away by the time I came into your family, but it was like I got a whole new mother and father in you and Pat. Wishing you all light and love and divine joy, wherever you are. Your son-in-law, Tom
Dear Mom, Thank you for your life, for being an amazing mother to me and all my sisters, brother, our pets, plants, the birds outside your window and cousins and family and friends. Everyone you knew, you cared for and mothered in a natural way. And you taught us to be caring, humble, practical, happy, and that it’s OK to be a “lazy pup” sometimes. I remember when we were kids, if we started crying, you had a way of turning it around and making us laugh and not take ourselves too seriously. I thank you for giving me freedom to follow an unlikely path and for always supporting and encouraging me. I loved meditating with you and being with you, watching sunsets, and hearing stories of Platte Center days. Our bond will just keep deepening as I hold you scared in my heart forever.
Love you always,Jeanne
