• Happy Birthday my beautiful Mother, You are now 85 years young in heaven. I miss you everyday and speak of all the good you did in Our World prior to leaving us to be in Heaven. I know that you are reunited with Elias my Dad ,you faithful and only Husband. You are the hope that has kept me wanting and wishing a change the World to be a safer and better place. I thank you for your teaching and giving me the strength to be a better humanitarian. I thank you and Dad for making me as proud and caring person. I will never disappoint you I promise! I am having a Gala to help the homeless Vets and Elderly on Fathers Day Weekend. Thank -you for all your values and proper guidance of the truth. I never needed any payment to love you ,never felt that it was an inconvenience. I enjoyed the time we spent as room mates and that I was able to give a little back for all you gave me for many years of my life. My only guilt is that if I had been in Winnipeg earlier , retired sooner you may have still been with me a little longer. Things happen for reasons and God only has all the answers. I have opened my eyes wider not only my heart to avoid future errors of how we may control better quality of one's life. I Thank you once again for being the Beautiful, Caring and loving Mother that I wish all daughters has the same happiness. God I know you chose to take her away for her next journey to provide all good she done on Earth and continue her same path in the Heaven above. (MIA )MY GREATEST LOVE EVER. Please free her from all physical and heart felt pain that she has endured on Earth. Love you for ever in my daily thoughts, prayers, audios of your last days, your recorded voice , photos and the compassion & respect you have given all family, friends and the people you met. Happy 85 TH. BIRTHDAY My true love for ever. - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Jun 04, 2018

• Dear Mom, This is one year since you were too weak to fight any longer. You were the first eyes I saw when I came into this World. You were my first love, my first friend, my first scolder when I was misbehaving. I have had huge responsibilities in my life and solved many corporate issues, however losing you has been the most difficult task in my 55 years. I tear many days and am still selfish you are not with me. I had just retired to be there for you as you were always in my heart or in my ear daily.I certainly miss our many phone calls daily and the honour it was to be with you until your very last breathe. I am grateful that I have many Audios of your movements daily, your extremely dry wit and all our daily conversations to fill my book with just how special you really were and still are today. I will light a beautiful candle by your pictures again. Miss you always and I will never put your pictures away. I promised I would pursue my Quest which will be for all eyes to see. God bless you and kisses to Dad. Do not forget his birthday is next month. OXOXOX Lar and Sara - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Mar 22, 2018

• Happy Valentine's Day my beautiful mother. Today is also Ash Wednesday. I am helping those in need as per my promise to you. My only Repentance or regret is that I wish I had arrived to Winnipeg the Christmas prior to Feb/2017 to have shared more happy days with you before God took you away. Everyday I kiss your beautiful picture and have slowly stopped being sad for I realize that this is selfish on my part. I have decided to remember the laughter daily and the sparkling eyes, I was blessed to kiss and see you daily. I love you Mom with all my heart. I am happy you are once again with Dad. Please give him a huge kiss. I know you look upon me daily. Lar and I have 2 doves that visit the tree I replanted and thought it was not going to make it. I stated no way this Tree will survive! It has I only wish I stated that remark with such authority at the hospital Mar 22nd /2017 for possibly you would have heard me and asked Dad to please wait for I will be with you soon. God bless you both. I have placed a beautiful blown glass heart by your picture. Enjoy the paradise you are surrounded by. Bye for now. Love you Larry and Sara OXOXOX - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Feb 14, 2018

• Hello again my wonderful and loving mother whom has crushed my heart with the loss of never kissing , seeing those angelic eyes, hearing you laugh with that little finger covering your lips. I miss you so much mommy. I thought days would release my tears more . I was so wrong for today marks 40 days that you were chosen to leave me and I feel like it was only yesterday. Many believe after death you go to judgement for the first 40 days to ensure you are worthy of entering the beautiful paradise and be with God. I am a Catholic and believe if you are an honorable caring individual without jealousy and wish no harm upon your brother or sister you will enter into a better place. I however in my years heard so many people go to church and recite the words to do more harm than good daily. Your words to forgive were extremely comforting to me and I will forgive as I was taught. I will however not allow evil or those whom wish and cause harm and take something of mine or yours away without justice. I know you are in heaven now or prior to the 40 day belief for your life on Earth was filled with so much honesty, love,trust and no ill towards anyone and those whom trespassed against you. Have a beautiful and peaceful life in Heaven for you truly are one of the most purest mother and person I have ever had the privilege to share my life with. Miss and Love you forever. Your daughter and Son in law Sara and Lawrence - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: May 01, 2017

• Happy Easter my beautiful Mother, I am sad that I am not with you this Easter or able to phone you and wish you a Happy Easter. I do not know why with all the technologies we have so advanced in the last 50 years we still are unable to phone you in heaven. Please remain happy with our father who has been their 28 years awaiting your arrival. I still wished you were here with your family who so loved you with all our hearts. I have washed all my white linens and towels this morning and have decided to bring them up 12 steps and hang them on my portable clothes line in my memory you of how often you climbed those 12 steps 3 to 4 daily to ensure we had clean clothing, towels and bedding for all 8 of us. Love you forever and not a day passes without me missing you. God bless Your daughter Sara and Son Inlaw Larry - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Apr 16, 2017

• My mother Brisida Correira DaCosta When my beautiful greatest love is taken away I must always remember we are not here to stay. When our emotions go through the highs and lows I will never forget your presence and your touch that resembles a rose. God he give it and he take it away for he knows its time and he makes his decisions and we have no say. I will Lesson my sadness and start my healing for your absence on earth will provide the same unselfish gift in heaven. I sleep at night peacefully with no regrets although I do wish we had more than god had planned and your time was set. I will keep a montage of all pictures right till the end and your red blanket which you had to arrange every day as per reasons I could not comprehend. Go and continue your giving the wonderful values in heaven till one day again I will be in your presence. Those in life whom felt they have made amends they must soul search for is this in fact true or does fact have doubt or does it depend. Your last two weeks were with major discomfort and the fight to remain with us at the end you left without a fuss. Suffering and Oppression has been mention and I know such sadness came not from me and those whom feel such remarks will have to deal with their belief and such madness. Your legacy will be continued by me to help the needy and people in time of need. Go with god and be in peace for I am so grateful and proud to have had the love from an exceptional mother and a human being till the last day in which you cease. Love no greater Your daughter Sara Da costa - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Apr 10, 2017

• Dear Mom, I have lost my most precious love. I will miss you forever. You were what every child wished in a mother and then some. Your waking every morning @ 4 am to ensure all your children were fed a breakfast along with your husband. I left home at the age of 18 to provide and pursue my career. We have always been in contact and more so in the last 2 years. I will miss those numerous phone calls daily from B.C. I will especially miss my roommate in 2015 when we shared the best 3 months together. I remember telling my husband that if I did not love him so I would gladly move in with my wonderful mother on permanent bases. The last 6 weeks tending to your needs was with such improvement after your Knee replacement surgery. I still am at a disbelief that this unselfish loveling angel has left me for now. I will miss you and have lost a true love, confidante, and a wonderful friend. Both Lawrence and I will miss you and remember your Birthdate June 4th./1933 when the world was blessed with a wonderful new life who made the world a better place and raised me to be the person I am today. The last day on Earth March 22nd /2017 @ 120 pm. when God took you to be with Elias your husband your mother and father and all your siblings and friends whom you always missed and spoke of daily. Please also say hi to Alan Redpath whom you never had the opportunity to meet for God also took him from me far too soon. Mom, you have left a huge hole in my heart and an emptiness that no other can fulfill. I ask the lord to allow you to continue giving to others and keep you warm for you did not like to be cold. I will keep your little red blanket with me until we are reunited again. Go with God and enjoy the beautiful Paradise you so truly deserve. In our hearts and prayers forever.
