Mike Gomez

Mike Gomez My father, Mike Gomez, died suddenly on Sept. 22nd 2002. I've spent the last year thinking about what I'll miss about him. There is not enough ink to list all the reasons but in order for you to know him I'll name a few. He was a professional ballroom dancer and always told me that women were misunderstood. He always took the time to compliment an outfit or ask about your day. I'll miss playing name that tune with him in the car. I'll miss him giving his granddaughters too many desserts and telling me to "go easy on them mom!" I really miss calling him on the phone to share my good news. I don't just miss him on Father's Day, it's every day. My father taught me to live life large, laugh and make no apologies for who you are. He was a Christmas Eve baby and gave me a great love of Christmas, especially the music. He was relentless when lifting someone's spirit. Daddy, the girls send their love to you in heaven and I send my love through this memorial. It's been a year since I last saw you and I look forward to our next dance.
