Dear Costello Family,
I know that I have only known Molly for five years, and I knew Papa for even less; but I can honestly say I feel like I have known Molly and her family my whole life. Papa was like a grandfather to all, and will be deeply missed. He truely was the kindest man I've ever known, and I admired him greatly. When I'm older, if I am half as great of a person as he was, I would be pleased. He really was an amazing man, and I feel blessed to have had him in my life.
I love you Molly&family.
I love you Papa<3

Dear Costello Family,
I'm a friend of Molly Johnson's. I'm very sorry for your loss. Im extremley sad. Papa Costello was like my second grandfather. Not only that but one of the best men i know. He was there for his family 24/7 and always put them first. Although we will all miss him, we all have to remember he's in a better place. You are all in my prayers.

To all of the Costello family- I am deeply sadden by the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle. I use the family terms because I know how much family meant to him. He could talk with confidence about many subjects but it was family that he enjoyed talking about the most. He is a man is that well respected, demonstrated his caring everyday, and will be greatly missed.
With just a few words or a hand shake or a smile he would make anybody feel comfortable then could easily move to making you feel special by being there and listening to everything you had to say. He is somebody that my entire family looked up and cared about deeply.
With love and sympathy,
