Angela, Joe, Rick, Tom, Perry,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing in to the welcoming arms of Almighty God. She was loved by all and always treated me like one of the family. My mother Donna will be waiting for her to go over all the ball games. Love to all your family.

To the entire Costello Family,
I have very fond memories of your Mother. I loved watching her at the wrestling matches at Catholic Central. I use to smile just watching her move just like the wrestlers on the mat. She was a very loving woman and will be remembered fondly. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember "Mrs. Costello" as the wonderful, happy lady that lived on "the other side of the fence". I have many fond childhood memories of her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Joe and Rick and Tom and Perry and Angie and all of your families: I am so sorry to see your Mom's passing. Like my parents, she was in the old gurad of that generation of the Lansing Italian community that was so proud and so fiesty.
We loved growing up down the street from the Costellos: always sandlot football game, baseball game or pom-pom to be found with them.
I recall your Mom from the years that she drove us in the carpool: always a lot of laugher and a love of life. Like all of you, I will miss her and rememeber her total dedication to all of the Costello athletes.
My thoughts are with you today.

Dear Family,
I was saddened to hear of the lose of aunt Mary. She was my God-Mother and was a lovely woman, the last time I saw her was in 1999 and I was given a crochet Angel for my tree. I will cherish memories of her always. Marchele R Matherly (Pete Costello's daughter) Shelley Costello

I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a very special woman and will be greatly missed by all that knew her. It's not often someone can bring a smile to your face just with the thought of them, Mary could do that. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Mary will always remain a piece of us and to all that knew her. She was loved by many. I will never forget her sense of humor and her spit fire personality. We always loved how honest and caring she was. Mary helped me with my wedding dress and some of the bridesmaid dresses. She made me a special garder out of the left over material. I know everyone keeps special things from their weddings but I will always treasure that piece she put her heart into. She not only was a great neighbor but a great friend. We love her very much! She is in a better place watching over all of us.
Remembered with love!

Mary was our "Mrs. Doubtfire" and we could not have asked for a more wonderful person to care for our children. It was almost like they had another grandmother and there were a lot of tears when we heard of her passing. She was so down-to-earth and cheerful and what a wonderful cook of the old school good stuff. There will never be another Mary Costello canolli, and what's more...there will never be another one like Mary Costello. Riposi in pace,

We loved Mary very much! My children, Jordan and Chloe, had the honor of having Mary be their nanny from the time they were born until they went to school, they were actually the last kids she took care of. Mary will always have a special in their hearts and ours. Chloe had just recently talked to Mary and they were going to get together and do puzzles. Mary was always telling me about her family. She was very proud of all of you. Rest in Peace Mary. . . and thank you for helping Lance and I raise such wonderful girls!!
God Bless!
