It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved angel, Maria Eduarda DeSouza, who tragically left us on Monday, February 24, 2025, in a car accident with her beloved mother Kamyla L. Godinho and her stepfather Jean Deaquino. She was only 6 years old. Her precious life was cut far too short, but the joy she brought to everyone who knew her will remain forever in our hearts.

Maria was a vibrant soul whose beautiful spirit touched all those around her. She had a heart as pure as gold, kind, loving, and full of life. Her infectious personality and bright smile lit up every room she entered, and her laughter was a sound that could fill any space with warmth and joy.

A true adventurer at heart, Maria loved spending time outdoors, dancing, and singing. She was also a budding fashionista, always excited to express her personality through her colorful outfits, and she loved sharing her experiences through videos. Sundays were especially important to her, as she found great joy in attending church and feeling the love and peace of her faith.

Maria was not only an affectionate and intelligent little girl but also a talented bilingual speaker, fluent in both English and Portuguese. She was even learning to write in both languages—a testament to her brilliance and curiosity about the world around her.

Her untimely passing leaves a profound hole in the hearts of everyone who knew her. She is now with her beautiful mother, Kamyla Lucas Godinho, who was also tragically taken from us. Together, they are watching over us from heaven.
