Words cannot express the sincere sadness that fills my heart knowing that he has left this physical earth when he has so much - to accomplish yet..... My only recent memeory of him was walking around Buttonwood Park with his beautiful daughter with a smile from ear to ear... and me yelling ou the window what a great picture. May god give you the strength to raise his beautiful daughters and with time may it get a little easier... Liz and Joe Santos
Posted: 2/4/2009 by elizabeth Lavadinho Santos of Dartmouth, Ma., USA Dear Mario and Gomes family, May God give you the courage and strength to heal your hearts. It seems like just yesterday we were all hanging around the beach and now my little Eddie is gone. I have some really wonderful memories of him. May your memories be a comfort to you. It's sad to think that we won't ever see that beautiful smile again. He was truly a special person. Cris & John LourencoPosted: 2/4/2009 by Cristina Lourenco of Acushnet, MA,

There are no words to express the pain and loss you are feeling. We all have wonderful memories of Eddie. I won't forget taking Eddie to Worcester State College, picking his courses, hanging at the beach and so much more. These memories will forever be in our hearts.
I know God will give all of you the strength to surpass this. Our deapest thoughts and prayers go to you.
Juraci and Nuno CapatazPosted: 2/4/2009 by Juraci Capataz of New Bedford, Ma, To Eddie's family,
Even though I had not seen Ed since the summer, I feel great loss. I have lost a great friend but will keep the memory of a fun-loving and caring guy in my heart. Eddie- you will be missed.Posted: 2/4/2009 by Jacqueline Francisco of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, USA I'd like to share a few personal thoughts about Eddie. I knew him as Eddie, but he was known by a few other names. Some knew him as Eddie some knew him as Ed, some knew him as Eduardo, some people used his first and last name and called him Eddie Gomes. Some people who were closest to him knew him as Jo. I've been best friends with Eddie since I was a little kid. I'm honored to have shared a huge part of my life with him. I have countless memories of the great times that we shared, and I'll cherish those memories for the rest of my life. I have a sister who I love more than I can explain, and to me Eddie was my brother. Every time I would call him or he would call me, and we left a message, I would say, hey it's me give me call, and he would do the same. I miss him very much, and I know I will never see him again, but what hurts the most is that I'll never talk to him again. I loved talking with Eddie, we understood each other. He was always there when I needed him. There was just something about him that would lift my spirit when he walked into a room. I wish I could have said goodbye, because there are so many things that I wanted to say, and if your listening now, I want you to know that I love you very much.
This is a rough time, the loss of a young person is always a terrible thing. But in this case, it's even more cruel because Eddie was an idealist,
and he struggled, all through his life, to be a good man. He wasn't perfect, but then who among us is. He took every opportunity to show the people he loved how much they meant to him, and now that he's gone, ther'll be a hole in our hearts. His two daughters were his life and I know he'll be watching over them for the rest of their lives.Posted: 2/4/2009 by Nuno Seco of Dartmouth, MA, USA Meu querido primo, que ja nao via ha anos e nunca mais vou ver.... que triste estamos todos nós aqui em Portugal por saber que partiste.... eras novo demais e tinhas tanta vida pela frente... nao ha palavras nesta hora de desgosto. Tia Teresa e Mano, que Deus vos ajude nesta hora dificil, e que as meninas do Jo vos tragam o conforto que precisam, para amenizar a dor que vos assola.Posted: 2/5/2009 by Carla Ferreira of Ilhavo, Aveiro, Portugal To the Gomes Family, we are so sorry for your loss. Eddie was a wonderful person and he will be missed.I will look back on all the wonderful memories I have and remember that smile. Ever since I was small I remember Eddie always being such a fun and caring person, I was so excited to share a birthday with him. He was like a part of our family, as all of you are. Our prayers are with you and we are here if there is anything that you may need. May God grant to the strength to get thru this time of sorrow.
With all our love, Manuel(Rolo), Regina, Ofelia Teixeira and Sonya & Roger VenturaPosted: 2/5/2009 by Sonya Teixeira Ventura of New Bedford , MA, USA Dear Andrea and Gomes family - My deepest sympathy during this sad time.
