HI: It must a difficult time for everyone. Your mom will be missed. I know that everyone that she came in contact with her fell in love with her. I will always remember her warm smile and great friendship and the attention she gave to everyone. Great generosity, everyone has to eat or try some great food before leaving her presence. Just thinking everyone in your family with deepest sympathy. She will be missed by everyone. I am sure that she is up in heaven with the angels. I am sure that we all have family members up in heaven and down the road they will be their for us. They will not forget us and of course we will not forget them. Forgiveness is very important. No more pain. REST in peace Emilia (Matos) Gomes. No more suffering. God bless you.
