My deepest sympathy to Susy and the family. Dr. Gomez was my daughter' a pediatrician as well as a friend . We also worked together in the IMMC Pediatric Ambulatory Care Center . I remember him knitting mitten strings for his patients. He was one of the finest and most compassionate people I ever met and had a wonderful sense of humor. I am sure he is resting in the hands of God.

I want to covey my deepest condolenses to you all and my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless Sil's soul. He will not be forgotten.

I didn't know Dr. Gomez for a long time, but he always treated me like a family member. He loved his grand kids more than life itself, and never said no to people he cared about. I can still hear his Christmas laughter when ever I think about him. You will be missed Dr. Gomez, and I will never forget about all the nice things you have done for our family.
