I am the gentle Autumn's rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Heber E. Costello

~to~
It has been five years now since Heber E. Costello left this world for a better place with his Savior. Many things have changed since that sad, sad day; November 15, 2000. Time has marched on. A sweet little boy named Heber Shaw came into our world, and managed to bring a smile to our hearts and often reminds us of his name-sake with a certain look or a stomp of the foot. Some things have not changed, jobs keep going, Monday mornings keep rolling around, airplanes keep taking off and we still miss Heber Costello. The passing of time has not dampened our love and memories of a very special father and friend. We honor his memory everyday and are thankful that he was a part of our lives.

Beloved Grandfather, Father, and Husband
Jan. 8, 1929 ~ Nov.19, 1998
My Hero
As we walk to the creek
With poles and worms in hand
I miss those days of hunting
And fishing and watching him cook
We always argue over meaningless
Nothings just for the sake of arguing
The smell of fish being fried that we had caught
I smell tears on my nose
My cries of sadness leave my mouth
This yellow rose falls from my hand to
His coffin to show my love for him
My hero is gone and will no longer
Teach me the Ways of being a man
My hero is gone but his words of wisdom are etched
In my head like writing on a stone tablet
I see his face, I feel his hands, and I hear his voice
Tears run from my face for my lost hero.
