In the tapestry of life, every thread has its own unique color, its own significance, and its own story. Brooklyn Angelique Vincent, born on December 16, 2006, was a thread of vibrant hues that wove joy and love into the lives she touched. Her life, a beautiful albeit brief melody, ceased its rhythm on August 14, 2013, yet the echo of her presence continues to resonate in the hearts of those who knew her, loved her, and now remember her.
Brooklyn's six years on earth were a testament to the unbridled joy and spirit of a child whose love for life was evident in her daily adventures. She embraced the simplicity of childhood with an enthusiasm that is seldom retained as the years pass. Whether it was jumping on her trampoline, feeling the wind on her face as she swam, reveling in the thrill of motorcycles, or finding solace in the quiet company of her Hello Kitty dolls, Brooklyn found happiness in the purest of places.
Her journey was shared with her beloved family in Sulphur: her parents, Kevin and Cheryl Wilks Vincent; her siblings, Brody, Graisson, Tori, Kaylee, and Kayla; and her doting grandparents, Angela Broussard and Melvin Wilks. Her departure from this world was marked by a solemn ceremony on August 19, 2013, officiated by Rev. Ken Sifford, as those who cherished her gathered to bid farewell. The Farquhar Cemetery in Sulphur became her final resting place, a quiet corner for a soul that was anything but silent in its expression of love and joy.
The community's response to Brooklyn's passing was a profound testament to the impact she had on those around her. People from various walks of life, some of whom had close bonds with her and others who felt connected through shared stories or distant admiration, came together to mourn and celebrate her life. Their messages paint a picture of a brave, joyful girl whose strength and happiness were a source of inspiration.
Mary Gallon, touched by Brooklyn's courage and perky personality, recalled the little moments that made caring for Brooklyn a highlight in her professional life. The last exchange of 'I love you's with Brooklyn left a lasting imprint on her heart, a memory cherished beyond measure. Mary's tribute acknowledges the deep loss while also recognizing the healing that comes with such love and remembrance.
Haley Foster and Anthony Broussard, close to Brooklyn, remembered her bravery and strength. The imagery of Brooklyn 'flying high' and the outpouring of love from her grandfather captured the adoration she commanded from her family and their struggle to cope with her absence.
Angie, Jordan, and Les spoke of Brooklyn as 'Brooklyn Bear,' a nickname that perhaps captured her resilient spirit and warmth. Their words offered solace, envisioning her in a place of no pain, free to play and be the child she always was.
Shawnna Duplechian's succinct message of love, and the LeJeune family's note, though from those not personally known to the Vincent family, showed the breadth of Brooklyn's influence. Her story, shared through social connections, brought strangers into the fold of her life's narrative, illustrating the ways in which a single life can touch many.
Bree Sanchez provided a glimpse into Brooklyn's ability to brighten the day of those around her. The recollection of Brooklyn riding around the nurses' station, asking for stickers, and simply wanting to chat, speaks volumes about her spirit. Bree's memories underscore Brooklyn's role not only as a patient but as a beacon of light for the staff at the hospital.
In this tribute, as we sift through the messages of love, remembrance, and sorrow, a portrait of Brooklyn emerges—not merely of a child who faced the end of her life far too soon but as a spirit who brought life to every moment she lived. Brooklyn Angelique Vincent was a joy-bringer, a brave soul, and an angel on earth who taught us about the profound strength hidden within innocence and the impact of a life, no matter its length.
It is perhaps an inherent tragedy that the world often learns the most about a person's life at its end. Yet, in Brooklyn's case, it is also a blessing. The collective grief, memories, and tributes are not just a chronicle of her short time here but a powerful narrative that continues to inspire and influence.
In commemorating Brooklyn, it's not just about marking the years she lived but celebrating the life she lived so fully within those years. We find solace in knowing that she explored this world with eagerness and left her footprints on the hearts of those she met. Each story, each message, each memory shared by those who loved her, forms a legacy that defies the brevity of her time on earth.
As individuals, as a community, we extend our deepest sympathies to the Vincent family and all who feel Brooklyn's absence. We stand in respectful tribute to a life that, in its fleeting passage, taught us the enduring power of joy, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unending capacity for love that resides in the heart of a child.
Let us all remember Brooklyn Angelique Vincent not by the silence of her absence but by the echoes of her laughter, the remembrance of her smiles, and the indelible impression of her unwavering zest for life. Though she has ascended beyond our reach, her spirit soars high, untethered and free, reminding us all to cherish the moments, embrace the simple joys, and love without reservation.
Brooklyn, you were loved beyond words and will be remembered far beyond the confines of time. Fly high, little angel. Your story continues in the hearts you've touched, in the memories you've carved, and in the love you've spread that knows no end.
