Dear Kim, Susan, and Cari,
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear father. I just saw him not long ago and we had a nice chat about old times. I am sorry I wasn't able to make it to the memorial, but know that you and he are in my prayers.

Dear Kim, Susan, and Cari, Though my message comes from far away (Nairobi, Kenya), and I have just received the message of your father's death some hour after the funeral,, I am close to you in my prayers. May your love for one another support you in this sad moment, and may your father enjoy eternal happiness. God bless you all! I wish I could hug you.

Thoughts and prayers for the entire Costa family. I'm so sorry for the loss you are all dealing with. I know it is especially difficult during the holiday season. I hope you are somewhat comforted by the fact that Fred is now with Go and Freddie. What a beautiful soul this world has lost. Thinking of all of you with lots of love.
