Mrs. Costrini, I came by to see you the other day. To learn I just missed you the day before, I was devastated. Kicking myself on what I had to do that was so important than seeing my friend. But I am so blessed and honored to have had you as my neighbor, a listener and most importantly a 3rd Grandmother. I will miss and cherish the laughs we shared. I Love you from the bottom of my heart Mrs. Costrini. And your quote, " Will without action is an impossibility" will forever be embedded within.

Dear Nicholas, Tony and family, Please accept my sincerest condolences at this time. Although I didn't know Anne personally, I so admire her. She seems to have had it all. A mother and grandmother, a successful business woman, highly educated, and having the need and the desire to give back. She was an amazing and accomplished woman. ,She lived a long, rich and full life. You remain in my thoughts and my prayers during this difficult time. Sincerely, Elizabeth Rousakis

Your Mom could not have had a better caregiver than you Dr.C. I am happy you allowed hospice to help you in your Mom's final days. May God grant her eternal peace. With deepest sympathy, love and prayers.

I was looking at the pictures of Tony and Nick's birthday celebration in 2010. One of the few times everyone including Anne were gathered together in her late years. It was a memorable evening and the pictures reflect a beautiful family enjoying a lovely celebration. I am glad she is at peace and how blessed she was to have Tony & Shirley with her at the end of her journey. God bless.

Tony & Shirley, Though separated by distance, and by not having known your mom in a personal way, we were able to "bridge over" these by Tony's remarkable note about her last days. To think, 2 dollars was a lot of money in her day! You two are in our hearts.

- Pam & John Harris, Golden, Co.

Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Hello one and all. Mom passed in peace Hospice was very helpful when I became uncomfortable with the thought of giving significant narcotics to mom. she lived life on her terms... much of it derived from years of going it alone. No mercy sought or granted. once her knees refused to walk , her truly impressive intact intellect decided it was time to go. Last week she insisted she be allowed to bet 2 dollars the Vikings would win thei playoff game holding 2 fingers in the air and yelling: "2 dollars 2 dollars!" she lived her life to the max and did it her way, putting Sinatra and other "my way" singers to shame. Glad she is at peace. She fully grasped and stoically accepted death as part of life.
