His love was as gentle as a flower,
He left us his fragrance,
Now the Heavens above enjoys his presence.
This memorial website was created in the memory of our Baby Ildefonsito Vincent Gonzalez, who was born in Whittier Ca at Intercommunity Presbyterian 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.

Here we share about the beauty of Vincents precious life. vincents lil life was as colorful and quick as a butterfly. we also share the unfortunate day that our son was neglectfully forced to grow his angel wings. And this is how the beginning of his lil life came to this world and how he left a light in everyones heart. We were notified 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, we all thought of 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 of six weeks, sit up alone at four months.
Vincent amazed one day as we couldnt wait to put him in his new walker and to our suprise he didnt want the walker and Vincent began to walk at the age of 10 months.
he was such a happy baby,every where we went no one cold resist and ask to either hold him or to give him a kiss.
there was never a bad moment while Vincent was growing up and every second was cherished and the time with Vincent was precious.
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 were always cought his eye and the colorful flowers he couldn't resist.

December 14, 2005 is the beginning of that tragic day that has devasted 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 Intercommunity Presbyterian 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 Intercommunity Presbyterian 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 Intercommunity Presbyterian Hospital maliciously reported our family to DCFS and stated that our family took our baby into the hospital just to die & they forgot to mention in thier report 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.
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.
As we were fighting to protect our other children, we were faced with having to mourn and make funeral arrangements for our baby boy...
The Services for our son were held on

We welcome any condolences, cards, as well as any support for our son petition
the address:
"For the love of baby Vincent"
P.O. Box 63009
Los Angeles, Ca 90063
We know that a signature will bring our son back, but we can prevent this from happening to your child...... we need to VOICE what happened to our son and not allow this to repeat it self...
"Yes" we are fully aware that accidents happen, and that there are many wonderful doctors.
but not one of these Drs cared about my son.
after three differant times and numerous phone calls nobody gave my son the medical care he needed.
so "WAS" it an accident ?
"NO" it was "MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE" from each and every one who rejected my 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....

For Jesus taught that someday “all those in the memorial tombs” will be resurrected. John 5:28
Isaiah 25:8: He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].
Revelation 21: 3, 4: " With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Thinking of your family... |

I know we have never met but I cannot imagine what your family has gone through since the loss of your 'little angel!' I have two small boys and as I read your story I could only think of them.
I understand there are not enough words to describe to you how much others care - but we do. People who don't know you cry with you. Thank you for sharing your story with others, as it truly makes me appreciate what I have today even more than I did yesterday.
In my thoughts and prayers....Sharon

Hello, we don't know each other, but your story touched my heart so. You are wonderful parents who made all the right decisions, which was to simply love your son. Your pictures of your family show that the love is abounding. It's tragic that you had to go through, not just his death, but the drama that ensued around it.
Never have I lost someone so close to me, but friends have and they have drawn so much comfort from these texts. Maybe you and yours will too.
Isaiah 26:19 says that someday those who have died will live again. And in connection with that, Psalm 37:29 tells us, "The meek will inherit the earth and will reside forever upon it."
When Jesus was on earth, he actually brought people back to life. In Luke 7:11-17 a young man, the son of the Widow of Nain had died. In those verses, Jesus came to the funeral, looked at the boy and said, "Young man, Get up!" as though he was waking him from sleep! To Jesus and his father, it is as though we are sleeping when we die.
Jesus did this in the same way with his friend Lazarus. But what is most touching is that he cried along with everyone even though he knew he would be resurrecting Lazarus in just a few minutes! (John 11:11-44). Jesus feels your pain even in heaven when he sees these injustices that your little one faced and what you had to go through. But the bible promises that this is all soon to end.
Jesus with the help of his his Father brought people back when he was here on earth. And soon, he will do this earth wide with no partiality! Little Vincent will also just "Get up!" Revelation 21:4 says that soon "He [God] will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more."
My heartfelt hope is that if you get a chance to read these verses for yourself it will reassure you of God’s promises. Again, I am so sorry for the loss of your baby boy. You are champions and I applaud your strength and courage.
