Memories and Condolences
for Sam Costa

Not sure what to say?





Dear Flo, Marianne and Joey... I am so very sorry for your loss and truly wish I could have been with you during this time. I saw a picture which made me think of our transition to Heaven... on one side of a veil is an elderly woman, ravaged by time... upon passing through this veil, her soul is shown as young and she is walking toward Jesus' open arms. This made me think of your parents... all of their pain and suffering are no more. They are once again young in the arms of our Lord. I've added the photo to this message. Bless you all. I love you. Sis Bobbie
