May God continue to be with the Family Vince left to mourn. MR. Stokes served as a Software Engineer and Project Manager in the office I led at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins Georgia. We at Robins AFB was sad to hear about Vince but was overjoyed to know he had remarried and was blessed with a son. The Lord will continue to bless those who are followers of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To Kathy, Scoody, Kendall, Kory, family, and friends!

I will miss Vincent's smile, humor, and the talks we would have when he stopped by to visit when he was in New Orleans, at Mass at All Saints, or just speaking to him on the phone. As his aunt, I watched him grow from an innocent baby into a fine, smart, talented, humorous, adventurous man. Though I am still in a state of disbelief, I know his transition was God's will. God rest Vincent's soul in Heavenly peace, and let the perpetual light shine upon him!

I continue to pray for your peace, comfort, and strength!

Love always, Auntie Anita

I just recently read Vincent's obituary; it immediately brought memories to mind of his his days at Archbishop Shaw High School. We spoke on many occasions and engendered a relationship of mutual respect. Despite challenges from time to time, once he began to focus on his future, I had little doubt that he would succeed in continuing his education and achieving his career goals. He soared with Eagles! My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time. Know that he is fondly remembers. DRC
