Gomez was one of two Garfield women killed in a rollover crash on Route 4 in Paramus early Sunday morning. Her friend, Jennah Mae DiSclafani, 19, also died in the accident.

The driver, Jasmine Cruz, 23, has been charged with two counts of death by auto and DWI.

Nearly $1,000 had been raised by Tuesday afternoon. To donate or leave a message of sympathy, click here.
