Jacquita Gonzales, widow of MH370 supervisor, dies
KUALA LUMPUR: Jacquita Gonzales, wife of MH370 in-flight supervisor Patrick Gomes, passed away earlier today. Her death was announced in the MH370 Families Facebook group. She is believed to have suffered a heart attack and fell while at work. "It is with deep sadness that we share this news. Jacquita was a vibrant and dynamic member of Voice370, always at the forefront of our efforts and a central figure representing the Crew Family Members." It said that Gonzales touched so many lives with her love, warmth, kindness, and humility. "She will be deeply missed by all of us who knew her. Let us keep her and her family in our prayers during this difficult time." The disappearance of MH370 with its 239 passengers and crew remains one of the world's most enigmatic air disasters. The aircraft, which departed Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12.41am on March 8, 2014, was scheduled to land in Beijing, at 6.40am the same day. A search was launched in the South China Sea, where the aircraft disappeared from radars, but it was later found that it had made a complete turnabout and had likely ditched in the southern Indian Ocean.

Jacquita Gonzales, wife of MH370 steward, dies
In an interview with FMT two years ago, Jacquita Gonzales said closure in the MH370 case was very important as she had not been able to give her husband a proper send-off. PETALING JAYA : Jacquita Gonzales, the wife of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370's inflight supervisor Patrick Gomes, died today at the age of 62. Her death was announced by the 'MH370 Families' Facebook page this evening. 'Jacquita was a vibrant and dynamic member of Voice370, always at the forefront of our efforts and a central figure representing the family members (of MH370's crew),' the page said in a Facebook post. The disappearance of MH370 remains one of the biggest mysteries in aviation as the aircraft has not been found despite the longest and most expensive search mission in history. It went missing on March 8, 2014, 40 minutes after leaving Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing, with 239 people on board. In an interview with FMT two years ago, Gonzales, whose husband was a steward on MH370, said closure was very important as she had not been able to give her husband a proper send-off. 'If someone you love passes on, you have a funeral, you bury them or you cremate them and their ashes are put in a (columbarium) niche so there is a place for you to go during their death anniversary or their birthdays (where you can) light a candle and say a prayer. 'I don't have that,' she had said. She had also urged the public to continue pushing for answers together with the family members, adding that the pursuit for answers must continue and those aboard MH370 should not be forgotten.
