Mia Costa passed away peacefully on June 14, 2022, at the age of 6 ½, after a courageous battle with Osteosarcoma. Diagnosed just 18 months earlier, her illness was aggressive, and despite various treatments, she found little relief. Earlier in life, Mia also fought bilateral Retinoblastoma, diagnosed when she was only a month old. She remained in remission throughout her life, a testament to her resilience.
To know Mia was to experience joy. Her infectious laugh and zest for life brought light to everyone around her. Always determined to live life to the fullest, she treasured every moment with her family. Whether embarking on outdoor adventures with her Mom, Dad, and dog Maple, or enjoying quiet moments at home, she radiated happiness. Mia loved to sing and dance—especially with her Mom—and had a natural talent for arts and crafts. A quick learner, she delighted in mastering the many levels of Super Mario alongside her parents.
Though Mia’s time with us was far too short, her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Her family will forever honor her legacy by living life with the same joy, spirit, and determination that she did. We take comfort in knowing that Mia is now in Heaven, reunited with her beloved Grammy, “Gigi” Sally.
