I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family. I have known the Costa family for most of my life. When I was in elementary school, Mrs Costa used to take care of me and my brother for about an hour while my mom went to work and my dad picked us up. My fondest memory of her was in the fall, we used to sit out on the veranda and there were these green things that used to fall from the trees (still don't know what they are called) but she would peel open the ends of them and stick them to our noses. I used to call them the helicopters. She was so giving and caring and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Senhora Costa.
