Carol, Mr.& Mrs. Gomes & family, I have known Wally for most of his life. He was a very good and kind man. He would have done anything to help somebody in need. It's not going to be the same not seeing his smiling face at darts or around town. He will be sadly missed. I know what you're going through , I recently just lost my Mom Martha Moniz. Prayers and best wishes to you at your loss. Gretchen (Lister) Freitas

Carol, Mr & Mrs Gomes,
It has been two weeks and I still can not beleive Jay is gone. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to have known the real Jay...he was a happy, smiling, honest and caring man who would do anything for anyone. He will be remembered forever.
I hope that as time goes by that your tears and sorrow are replaced with the wonderful memories that you have.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Stephannie & Greg Cyr
