Luis had a heart of gold. He held such kindness and a strong sense of fairness for the world. Luis and June were dear friends of mine. Lots of good memories. Condolences to Lilly, Bob, and their families.

I feel a deep sadness as I reflect on your passing, but I also celebrate the freedom you have found. May your spirit soar into eternity, unburdened by the weight of this world. This is an old friend from Elizabeth and Martin school. Peace

On behalf of the entire Costello family, we wish to extend our deepest condolences to the Rivera family during their time of loss. Luis was part of a very close knit group of friends who attended PSD. The group included our sister Miriam, who considered Luis and June as family. Both Luis and June were often guests in our home on many occasions over the years. Both of these wonderful people will definitely be missed, but never forgotten. Rest in peace Luis and June as you rest comfortably in the Kingdom of God.
