"A heart of gold stopped beating,

two shining eyes at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove,

He only takes the best."

This memorial website was created in the memory of our Baby IldefonsitoVincent Gonzalez,

who was born in Whittier Ca at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital on the lovely day of September 06, 2004 and was tragically forced to grow his angel wings on December 14, 2005 in the same Hospital.

Lil Vincent was at the tender age of 1yr and 3 months.
We remember him always, and will love him forever.

We share about the beauty of Vincents precious life. Our lil Vincentito precious time here with us was as colorful and quick as a butterfly. We also share about the tragic day that our son was neglectfully forced to grow his angel wings.

We begin with how his light began to shine and how he left that light in everyones heart, beginning with the his family.

Vincent,
Although you were only here for a short while.
We know that when rain falls softly, when the wind blows gently
and when the stars twinkle high up in the midnight sky, it's you
telling us you are alright and that you love us too. Not a day
goes by that we don't think of you and miss you. We love you more
than words can say. Always in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Until we are together again, keep singing with the angels. 

Vincent Is Loved and Missed By....

His Parents Ildefonso & Yolanda, his sisters Kaytie, Ingrid, Cynthia, Victoria & by our wonderful friends and many, many more...

We always knew from the first moment we laid eyes on our baby, that he was an "ANGEL"
A true heaven angel sent here to bless our life. What we shared with Vincent and what
he has thought us in just the short time he was here, We could not have learned in a lifetime without him. 

We our now trying to live our lives through the eyes of "Vincent".

We embrace each day with love and memories of our little boy. We embrace in our hearts and hold ever so clearly
in our mind the joy and laughter Vincent brought to us each and every day.

My little one,
my little one,
A treasure from above
A heritage - a legacy
A gift of God's
own love.

We were told of our lil blessing on a beautiful day in February of 2004.
We were told that we getting a new addition and that the due date was sometime in October of 2004.
WOW, we said a "new baby" !!!!
after four beautiful girls Kaytie, Ingrid, Cynthia and Victoria and almost ten years of no babies, we were truly given another token from heaven. so excited and happy.

We decided on week 17, to have those wonderful 4D ultrasound photos and together me, my husband & our girls attended our appointment at Fetal Photos in Pasadena Ca. during our session we were asked by the US tech "what were hoping for". we told her "as long as our baby was healthy it didn't matter", however that we did have a name for a girl. she laughed and asked "whats the name you have in mind" & we replied "Sarah Violet" and she laughed again and said " do you want to know the sex of the baby" and of course we did, she said with a big smile "you better changed the name" because it looks like your having a BOY!!!!

"A BOY" the girls screamed out, they had the biggest smile ever, a gleamed that glowed in thier eyes.

As the days passed and our lil boy was growing inside and we were getting closer to our due date, it seemed like it was taking forever.

so we had a baby shower and and celebrated our newest addition with friends and family.

Shortly after our lil addition decided that he could no longer wait until October and decided to join his lovely family and on labor day September 6, 2004.and at 2:20am vincent kicked and pushed...born at 8:40am weighing 6lbs 10oz and 20.5 inches long...there he was so perfect and cute.

His gentle soft skin, tiny brown eyes, red lil lips, so tiny, but yet our perfect lil baby boy...

Yes he had many visitors, the most excited visitors were his four beautiful sisters. and his uncle nelson spend that special day holding his future Godson.

four days later we were sent home to begin our journey.

soon after that Vincent began to grow so much as he began to hold his self up at the age of six weeks, sit up alone at four months.

We were so thankful to the lord for our healthy baby boy & at the wonderful age of 8 months Vincent was baptized.

One day vincent amazed us when he walk at the sweet age of 10 months.

he was such a happy baby,every where we went no one could resist and ask to either hold him or to give him a kiss.

He was aways the first one to sit next to you if you were eating something

We can say many great things about our boy & how he was the light in our home.

there was never a bad moment while Vincent was growing and every second was cherished and the time with Vincent was precious, not only was Vincent a happy baby but enjoyed every single day and looked at everyone with a smile.

On his first birthday, it was so special that we coulndn't resist and made vincent two birthday parties.

we had a lil private party at home and then a huge birthday party with family, friends a jumper and two cakes.

Vincents favorite toy was Elmo, he enjoyed movies and loved to sing, he loved to be taken for walks and enjoy the little things we take for granted...butterflies always cought his eye and the colorful flowers he couldn't resist.

Halloween was a day Vincent enjoyed, by the third house he knew to hold up his Trick or Treat bag.

this christmas photo would be the last photo our children would be taking together (taken on Dec 04, 2005)

"You left and forgot to tell my heart how to live without you."

December 14, 2005 is the SADDEST days of our lives....

It all began on dec 9, 2005 when lil vincent began with flu like symptoms, vomiting, diarreah, and fevers.
my husband and I took vincent to Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in tha city of Whittier CA where our lil vincent was seen by a PA, who flashed a light up my lil boys nose and tolds us that our son just had an URI (upper respitory infection) and that he would prescribed Rondec and with his advised that the best thing is take to our baby home give the medication and take him to his pediatricians office within 3-5 days, I asked if my son could have a blood test or maybe an x-ray, just to be sure and I was denied that medical request.
on Sat the 10 of Dec 2005, I made a call to vincents pediatrician at Whittier Pediatric and spoke to the Medical Asst, who then advised me to call her if my son continued sick by Monday. I requested to speak to the Dr herself and I was then told by the MA that the Drs advised was to start my son on the Rondec by sunday and to call back by monday.
we then waited as the weekend passed, hoping that our vincent would get better. unfortunetly there was no change in his health and vincent seem to get worse.
by Monday morning I called the the Whittier pediatrics office and requested that my son get an appointment. we were told to bring vincent in by 11:10 and we checked in by 9:30am. once again we were told it's just and URI, and a slight ear infection. I then asked "can we get a blood test or maybe an x-ray" ?, then the Dr replied "no its not neccesary & why do you want to put him through that, when his lungs sound clear" & besides I know how much you love vincent". she then prescribed vincent Pulmicort along with antibiotics and told my husband and I not to bring vincent back until at least 5 to 7 days.
Tuesday dec 13-2005, we called the whittier pediatrics and asked to speak to the Dr and at this point and time we were told by the MA that we were calling to much and making too many phone calls and that we needed to let the medications take its course and not to call back until at least five days had passed...angry and devasted by the rudesness we just hung up the phone..
On Dec 14-2005, is the tragic day when we lost our precious and only lil boy. on that day we called the Pediatricians office and we demanded to speak to her the Dr, when the Dr got on the phone I told her that I was taking my son the ER at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in Whittier Ca and we were not leaving until a blood test and x-ray was done on my son.
My husband & I arrived about 11:00 that morning and we were taken to triage and then put into a room, immediately a blood test and an x-ray was performed on our baby and about an hour the results were in and the news was not that good...our baby had pnuemonia and the bacteria from the pnuemonia had advanced so much that he needed a blood transfusion...within minutes an IV was put in along with antibiotics...
Immediately after so many DRs were coming in to see our son, the sad thing is that they reassured my husband & I that my son would be okay and that they had caught the infection on time...but they just to be safe they were admitting vincent and that he would maybe transffered else where, a location that specializes in babies like maybe a childrens hospital...it was procedure to check with our insurance first, so as we waited for an answer from a facility the hours were passing by and our son was not getting better or the medical care that he needed...finally about 3pm a facilty responded and a team was on there way to pick up our son and tranfer him to a facility for children...all the while in our desperate wait my husband asked one of the Head Drs "how bad is my son" and that Dr replied "not bad at all, its not that serious" and about 5:30pm to 5:55pm the team arrived and said that they needed to do the tranfusion for our son so that they could tranport vincent without any trouble and as they began working on our baby boy. Vincent was injected medication to help him sleep & he never woke up.
We asked "what happened" and the only answer that they could give us was "your baby had a weak heart"
Two days after our son perished, the Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital maliciously reported our family to DCFS and stated that our family took our baby into the hospital just to die.

Thank God I had requested all our vincents medical records within 24 hours after our son had perished.
Our Vincent was never late on any immunizations, we never cancelled an appointment. we made sure Vincent had made it to all his Baby Well check-ups.

"What the Medical staff forgot to mention in thier report is that we had taken our son in to the ER prior to that visit as well to the Pediatricians office and made numerous calls and that we were ignored each and every time".

As we were faced with mourning along with making funeral arrangements for our baby boy, we were also fighting to protect our other children...

The Services for our son were held on :

December 23, 2005
Forest Lawn
Hollywood Hills, CA
Site Precious Love

We welcome any condolences, cards, as well as any support for our son's petition at this present address:

"For the love of baby Vincent"
P.O. Box 63009
Los Angeles, Ca 90063

We know that a signature will not bring back our son, but we can fight with every ounce of breath to prevent this from happening to your child......

We will never have the opportunity to see our boy attend his first day in school, make a Mother's or father's day card, ride a bike, graduate from high school or go to College, get married or just say those words every parent so desperately wants to hear from thier child, "I love you, mommy & daddy".

We are vincents VOICE and we cannot allow this to happen to another child...

"Yes" we are fully aware that accidents happen, and that there are many wonderful doctors.
However none of the Drs that attended my son cared

so "WAS" it an accident ?

"NO" it was "MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE" from each and every one who rejected our son.

We are asking for your support with a signature for Vincents Petition. The benefit would help us to fight for every child to get a proper check-up as well at all Emergency Rooms....

To the Child in my Heart

O precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure, and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.

We dreamed of you and of your life
And all that it would be
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family.

Thank God we had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We held you for a lil while, 
And listen to you giggle.

I'll always be your mother.
He'll always be your dad.
You will always be our child,
The child that we had.

But now you're gone...but yet you're here.
We sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow and our joy.
There's love in every tear.

Just know our love goes deep and strong.
We'll forget you never-
The child we embraced in our arms for a lil while, 
And yet we'll have forever. 
 

Can you please visit precious Isaiah & light a candle in his memory.
