Katherine Costa

Kay was a force of nature


Dear Ray and Anne Marie,

I'm so sorry to hear about Kay, but boy did she live an amazing life and what an extraordinary person she was. Energy is what came to mind when I thought of her, plus true brilliance combined with practical good sense -- and a very warm heart. It was always a joy to see her at the holidays. And she could feel awfully proud of you, Anne Marie, and the great kids you, in turn, raised -- and her great grandchildren, too. It's...

Dearest Anne Marie and Bill;

May your mother's memories, including her thoughtfulness and kindness she brought to 700 NE Harbour Terrace bring you peace. She was well loved and a true friend indeed. As for myself, I could not be touched by an angel like Kay. Your mother has graced my heart with sunshine as the sun graces our world everyday. I will miss her dearly since she was such a lovely friend, confidante and welcomed me with open arms when I moved to Harbour Terrace 10 years ago....

Dear Anne Marie, Ray and family,

John and I are thinking of you on this sad day. We hope you are getting through as best you can.
I just wanted to let you know we are thining of you.

Love from Gail C.

Billy and I want you to know this mom.

Until we’re grown we never know or fully realize how wonderful our mothers are. We simply take for granted, from day to day each sacrifice they make for us in their own loving way…

Mom you were an example of strength, strong determination and strong work ethics. These qualities did not go unnoticed. You held everything together under the pressures of life. You sacrificed so much for our happiness and the happiness of others. You gave...

Monumental Life of Katherin Costa
In preparing this eulogy I spent many hours reflecting on my grandmother’s amazing life. And repeatedly one word kept surfacing in my thoughts – Monumental. According to Webster’s dictionary, monumental means colossal, epic, immense, massive, enormous, huge, historic, classic, significant, and important. Clearly this was the right word. Katherine Costa lived a monumental life and we were all fortunate enough to be part of it.
So how can I...

Anne, Ray, Bill, Cheryl, Mark & Family:
Jim & I are so sorry for the passing of your Mom / Grandmother. I did not know of her recent illness and I am so, so, sorry for your loss. I can remember her calling you at work Anne, she was a very strong, caring, and a true family supporter in all of your lives. I know you will all miss her and I can not imagine what you must be going through. Again, I am so sorry for your loss and you all are in our thoughts & prayers.

Love, Jane & Jim

May memories comfort you. May beautiful memories sustain you through this time of sorrow. Your Mother was very special to us.
