Silent Vigil for Brooke Mulford in Salisbury

Brooke Mulford Foundation

A silent vigil was held last night at the Salisbury City Park for Brooke Mulford who lost her battle with cancer.

She was only 12 years old.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that those gathered at the park held hands and sang “Amazing Grace”.

The gathering was quickly organized after being urged by Mayor Jake Day who is on military duty.

There were no speakers but rather many sat in silence in support of the Brooke family.

Rob Mulford simply thanked them and said they should remember to enjoy the little things in life.

After her diagnosis the Brooke Mulford Foundation and Brooke’s Toy Closet were established to help childhood cancer patients.
