This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Alexandra "Xanda" Gomes who was born in Massachusetts on January 15, 1989 and passed away on November 09, 2008 at the age of 19.
Ambitious, beautiful, fun-loving, generous, friendly, and outspoken are words that describe Xanda. She always lightened up the room with her big smile and her beautiful dimples. She was our angel whose life was taken far too soon.
Xanda was a dedicated mother and devoted her life to her 17 month old daughter, Niylah. She loved singing and dancing to Dora videos with her baby and it was the sweetest thing to see. She was always around to give sisterly advice to her siblings and be a true friend to her friends. She enjoyed the company of her family and friends, who all cared and loved her deeply.
Xanda's passion was for fashion. From a young age she enjoyed sketching and designing clothes. She often designed her own clothes and confidently showcased her outfits.
Xanda is survived by her daughter, Niylah Alexandra Fernandes and Niylah's dad, Carlos Fernandes; sister, Aisha; brothers, Anthony, Alexander, Alick, and Amaihs; father, Hilario Dos Santos Gomes; mother, Antonieta Dos Santos; grandparents, Maria Emilia and Manuel Gomes; and aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends.
Xanda will forever be dearly loved and terribly missed.
We love you Xanda!!!
