Rose Costa

She was a long time resident of New Bedford. Proceeded in death by husband Joseph and her son Robert. She is survived by her daughter Rose Lafond of Oro Valley, Arizona; a sister, Celeste Forte of Acushnet; and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We will all miss her very much. She was a special lady and touched the lives of many.

In Loving Memory of my Mother

If Roses grow in Heaven

If Roses grow in Heaven

Please pick a bunch for me

Place them in my Mother's arms

And tell her they are from me

Tell her that I love and miss her

And when she turns to smile

Place a kiss upon her cheek

And hold her for a while

Because remembering her is easy

I do it every day

But there is a ache within my heart

That will never go away
