Dear Costales Family,
May God console and sit close to you during this time. Gustavo has been on my mind since early this month and even more as of late. My husband and I spoke with him for over 30 minutes three weeks ago at an MBDA event and he was so patient and interested in helping where he could. What an amazing spirit. Know that he is with you always. Thank you for sharing him then, now and forever in spirit. Chrystal (Chandler, AZ)

Dear Martina; I just returned from vacation, today 12/12/11 being my first day back to work and I was absolutely shocked, I just saw Gustavo at a mutual event on 11/18/2011.

I didn't know Gustavo very well, but I spoke to him often in our office building about the world and family and more. He was always pleasant and gracious and talked lovingly about his family and their travels... truly the kind of person I would have liked to have gotten to know better. He was a sweet & genuine man - this is a shock and a real loss.

Quisiera expresar mi admiracion por mi amigo Gustavo. Nos conocimos en las juntas en Washington del MED Week y trabajamos juntos por mas de 5 años. El siempre se distinguio por ser profesional y muy amigable con todos sus compañeros, siempre me platicaba de sus planes con su familia y yo se que tenia un gran respeto y amor por ustedes. Es importante participarle la alegria que en vida Gustavo nos regalo. Elevo mis oraciones por mi amigo y por ustedes que aunque no les conozco se que Gustavo fue un hombre feliz. Estamos con ustedes en este tiempo y pido a Dios que lo reciba en su santa mano.

I have known Gustavo for several years in our work for the MBDA. He was a man with a kind heart and was always open to helping others. As his spirit journeys to the Spirit World and his body returns to Mother Earth, I wish him a safe journey as he reunites with his loved ones there. Although his days here with his family was shortened, he will travel with great honor and respect from those who have known him. May you be comforted by your faith in the Creator and in the lasting memories you have of this humble man, husband and father. With my deepest sympathy, Joan Begay Notah.
