ELIAS DaCOSTA April 27, 1930 - June 3, 1988 In loving memory of our father. It's been 20 years since you've been gone. So many things have changed. But the memories of how you blessed our lives remains the same. The special moments that we recall of our childhood are the best of all. A good provider, generous and loving father, you always put your family first. You blessed our lives and for that we will always be grateful. We love and miss you always. Love your wife Brisida and family.

  • Happy Father's Day my darling Dad, I have not forgotten you. I just arrived from a 2 day event to help the homeless and would not retire this evening without saying how much I appreciate all the love, proper upbringing, and the amazing provider you were for all of your Children. God bless you for ever. I miss you always. Say good night to mom and a huge kiss. Amour sempre Forever in my heart, soul & memory. OXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Larry and Sara - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Jun 17, 2018

  • My dearest father Elias Da Costa, Today marks 30 years that I have not been able to see your face, be near your strength and debate about many subjects we have discussed on and on again. My son who was never able to open the door again to welcome your presence daily after a long day of work. I was at a meeting and received a phone call from my sister and I knew then that God had chosen to take you to a restful place, I realize that we are here for only a short time and many of us shorter than anyone expected, however the loss is in my heart and soul forever. I know that Mom is by your side as she herself realized that no one needed anymore assistance in their lives to help them. I did and was completely taken off guard for I was now retired and able to spend more time in Winnipeg, give more care for her tender needs, take her to places and experiences she had never seen. I believe that you and God thought that it was her time to be united with you both. I have accepted your decision and have become stronger for a love of a partner and the absolute trust is a privilege and fulfillment that only so few are able to have such luxury of. I miss you all the time and so does Jason. Happy 30 years of paradise in heaven. I state time and time again "No two people deserves it greater than you and mom." I still cannot stop missing you so much. Be well and I know our paths will cross once again for I continue the values you raised me with. Big kisses and you know when you look down from upon the heavens above both you and mom know you are always part of Jason, Larry and my life. AMOUR SEMPRE' ALWAYS. Lawrence Davis Sara Da Costa and Jason Metcalfe OXOXOXOX Forever !!! - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Jun 03, 2018

  • Merry Christmas Daddy, Hope your present life is filled with so much laughter and happiness now that you are reunited with your great love.( I am selfish for I am still sad she and you are not with us.) I am happy for the two of you together once more. I hope you have a real Christmas tree this year . Now that you are in paradise with mom you see that I am truly your daughter both in strength and values. I remember when I left the nest at the age of 18 you stated you will be back. I won again Dad. It has been 29 years , soon to be 3 decades on June 3rd/18. Your sudden removal of your happy life @ 480 Simcoe Street was suddenly no more. This was 1 day prior to your wife's birthday. You are in a more peaceful and better place, though I still wish you were here . your persistence and stamina to continue to work at a job of a 20 - 30 year old was how you were raised and the best way you knew how to b the great provider for all your family. The acorn certainly did not fall far from the tree I my case. My life is completely filled with happiness and financial comfort due to working hard,honestly proud and fair to my clients for 40 years to attain the lifestyle I presently have. Lar is a wonderful partner. I have always been with men whom loved me greatly . I hope Christopher made to a tier in heaven close to both you and mom. Chris was a good soul unfortunately a follower greater than a leader and sometimes a lost soul. I miss him also and his life was also too short. I will be back in WPG. Jan/18 to view your newly joined head stone and grave with Mom. I look so forward to spending time with you both. I may even stop by a few times for I have legal matters to tend to as well. I always think of you and tell your tales (great story teller) to many of my friends. I have also searched info as to where I was born and will visit Portugal in 2018 . I wish to visit all graves of my grand parents aunts, uncles cousins and family friends. I am preparing to create a montage of our family tree as far back as I am able. Nothing has changed Dad I am still the daughter that you said scared you with my knowledge and strength. I owe you both for guiding me to be caring honest and never giving up. God bless you always! Give mom a huge kiss and let her know I will be chatting with her later . I know today marks 9 months since her passing. Again sing all those Christmas tunes and my favorite which had nothing to do with Christmas however was always one of favorites . (ella bota qui ella bota qui eau tao paeseau ella bota qui ella bota qui eau paeau due maou. Hah hah !! LOL!! spelling is way out but you know which song I mean. (Hokey pokey.) Happy New Year , your loving daughter for ever. OXOXOX lean over a kiss mom as well - Posted by: sara daciosta (daughter) on: Dec 22, 2017

  • Happy Birthday Daddy, You are 87 years today. Miss you and am always grateful for your teachings and guidance you instilled in me. Mom is very close to being by your side once more. I know you have been looking down on all of us throughout your leaving us. You were able to see all her ailments and pain mom endured for the last 29 years. Please take good care of her for she spoke of how great of a Provider , Husband and a wonderful person were daily during our telephone conversations. Be blessed and happy that your time on earth was always good and a lot more than most do to prepare them to enter Heaven. Enjoy peace and happiness in heaven as you so well deserve. Happy Birthday my wonderful father and you are in my heart and memories always and till I see you again. OXOX Sara Da Costa - Posted by: sara dacosta (daughter) on: Apr 27, 2017
