Dear Costin Family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of challenge. John was a good man who served his country and community with honor and grace. We were fortunate enough to visit with John and Diane a couple of years ago at Sam and Steph's while Rita was visiting. It was a nice family time after not seeing each other for many years. John told me some family stories I had not heard before.
Love
Chris, Karen, Kyle and Cory Lautzenhiser

Dear Diane (& kids, grandkids and the greats)
I wanted to express my sympathies to all of you on the loss of your amazing family members. I have so many happy memories of the Costin family growing up on Peters Street and was incredibly blessed to have John and Diane as my Godparents.
John was the first man, besides my daddy, that I wanted to marry when I grew up. I remember walking his mail route down our street and trying to guess how many letters would be in the box at the corner of Peters and Warfield. I don’t know that I ever got it right but loved trying. John taught me to watch the leaves to know when a storm was brewing. I remember the rock tumbler in the basement and coming home with my precious “worry stone.” Your house was a safe place for me to run to when I was sad or angry with Ed & Jayne and my brothers. I loved sitting around the kitchen table with everyone and was amazed that you had a blue bathroom for the boys and pink one for the girls. While at my house we had Grape Nuts and Raisin Bran, I could come to your house for Cap’n Crunch!
Shortly after I moved back to Garrett I brought my daughter, Abbey Jayne, down to meet John and Diane while we were out trick or treating. The porch light wasn’t on and I told Abbey that were just stopping to say hello and not to expect candy. Guess who went home with peppermints anyhow! Because that is the kind of people the Costins are.
I know Pat & Kim were waiting for John when he arrived in heaven. What a joyous reunion for them. May God grant you all comfort and peace… and THANK YOU for being such a wonderful part of my childhood.
Love,
Lynn Ellen
