Ruth H. Costa

Dear Costas,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of your mom. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. She was a wonderful person, and we all have very fond memories of her. I'll never forget the time she dressed up for Halloween as a football player! No one in the neighborhood could figure out who it was!!! Take good care of yourselves.

To all of the Costa family:
All of the Maher family was saddened to hear of the loss of your wonderful wife and mother. We have fond memories of growing up down the street from you all in Havertown. Mrs.C. always had a big hello for everyone, and always made extra room in the van for at least four of the Maher girls to catch a ride up to St. Denis. We know your loss is tremendous and we send our warmest thoughts and prayers.

With love,
KC Maher

Our recent return from Westminster, Co. was met with word from my sister, Nancy Reilly, that Ruth had passed away on September 20th. What a loss to her family, community and many friends this is. Ruth was the first neighbor I met in Havertown when Jack and I moved to Laurel Rd. Ruth was such a strong, funny and compassionate role model. She taught me how to bake apple pies, make a slip covers
raise kids, and never, ever take oneself too seriously. Our thoughts and prayers go to all her...

To the Costa clan- Prayers and tears for you all when I heard about Ruth. Awesome woman! I'll never forget her quick, witty comments while driving by her as she walked to morning mass. I strive to be live up to the moral standard she and my parents espoused. God Bless- Michael and Debra

We were saddened to hear of your loss and are thinking of you all.A very special woman who will always live through her wonderful family. All of our love and thoughts, Andrew and Pam.
