Dearest Joyce,
My very good and reliable friend since my last year of High School in Haiti. You will be forever in my heart. You shared with me things you have never shared with anyone else. Your timely departure has certainly left a void, but the bond is eternal. Rest in Peace my friend. Rose🌹

Words can not express how deeply sorry I am about Joyce passing. Joyce was an older sister to me. Joyce was a fighter and she fought that long and hard battle courageously until the end. Joyce left two wonderful and exceptional children Kevin and Medgine for us to cherish and support. May God give them strength to overcome the burden of loosing their mom…My condolences to her siblings also…

My beautiful aunty Joyce,
Thank you for your love, your support, your advice, your stories. Know that you are leaving a void that cannot be filled. I promise that my children and the children of my children will know who you were. I never expected you to go so soon. You were so strong and fought till the end. Rest assure that your family will celebrate your life Queen Elia like you deserve. Rest in peace, power and love. As we always ended our phone calls ” I love you” , forever in my heart. Your favorite niece Fafa!

My deepest condolences to the Durand and Ambroise families. Your loss is shared; your pain is felt. May the Lord give you strength to endure these difficult moments, and may you find comfort in the memories of the good times spent together with our dear Joyce ❤️. She will be dearly missed 🕊️

May your remains rest in peace, sista Jocelyne. May they be a leaven to enrich and pacify aching hearts!

My beautiful Tatie Joyce,

Such a beautiful pillar of strength and love. Your passing has left a void in the lives of those that had the pleasure of knowing you and loving you. You were truly a gem to the family and we will cherish all of the fond memories we’ve shared. The love you’re receiving is testament to your character, your strength and dedication as a sister, aunty, and friend. Thank you for your love, your support and the countless ways you have shown up for those you loved. Your impact will be felt for generations to come. Rest peacefully tatie Joyce. We love you, forever and after ❤️

Carole
Lovely little sister, you will be missed deeply. The sadest thing that could happen to a family is when it burries the youngest. Oh no, you just changed the patterns. You are gone too early, Jo. Is it God”will? Have you been tired of life? The answer to that is your belief in God. Before you have been taken to the hospital that Friday, we had a conversation. You said you were waiting for the big day. You were waiting to see us on January 23th. Is it that trip to Heaven you were talking about? The “Big Day” “question was tricky.. You did not give us the chance to see your eyes opened for the last time..
It is heartbroken to see you leaving this earth, but worries and sufferings are over.
You will always be remembered as a caring mother to your two children.
You will always be remembered for your support to your family and friends
You are alive in our heart and our spirit.

Rest in peace little sister

I haven’t find the words , the strength to accept none of this… but you are so POWERFUL, you shook our world to its core. You invoked so many emotions in everyone. You were always so proud of me… I will continue to make you proud.

My deepest condolences to your son Kevin Durand. He was truly there to support you in your last days. He carried like you, like you carries him as a baby, you mentioned to me, the week of your passing.

As for the rest… Let them find healing, forgiveness, peace in their joy. In the hopes the world doesn’t include them in the list of “persona non grata”

Your dearest niece
MT

Tatie Joyce ! I cannot even believe that I am writing this. From the moment you passed there has been an emptiness among all who love you .Your thoughtfulness , caring nature and humor will be missed by many . You were so excited when you heard that we all were coming to see you and that same week Heaven couldn’t wait for you??? I will never understand why but I will not question it . Love you and Rest in Paradise ! 💕 Nou pap Janm bliye Ou 😘

My dearest aunt, you’ve gone way too soon. You have left a void in the hearts of those who loves you. I will never forget you. You loved your family. You have spoken highly of all your siblings,
how proud you were of them. You had baby pictures of all your nieces and nephews in your photo album. I remembered when I tried to still my baby picture from your photo album, you quickly took it from me with a big smile on your face. You will forever be in my heart. Rest well Tatie Joyce.

Jocelyne Cherie

Lorsque Winnie m’avait contactée je pensais que c’était pour m’annoncer une réunion de famille joyeuse, Hélas ce ne fut pas le cas. Elle m’appela pour m’annoncer des nouvelles déchirantes ta mort. Ce fut un réel plaisir pour moi de passer du temps à tes côtés.
Cousine chérie ta mort fut très painible pour moi mais tu sera bien plus heureuse la haut.

Mes condoléances à la famille 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

My deepest condolences to both Kevin and Medgine! Joycelyn will forever be remembered for spending quality time during her work breaks with Marie Lourdes/La Lou in North Miami. In between Joycelyn’s morning and afternoon van children pick-ups, Jocelyne would spend hours in La Lou kitchen. Joycelyn and La Lou spent hours talking and laughing. Afterwards Joycelyn would then be given the opportunity to eat La Lou food was making that day. Jo,Thanks for entertaining my mom throughout the years. May you Rest in Peace Jo.

We know this is a difficult time, but our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May all of you find comfort from Ps. 34:18, 19 “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saved those who are crushed in spirit.” We send hugs and love.

Carme Brutus

In Loving Memory: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of My Cherished Mother
As we open our hearts and this space to all who knew my beloved mother, we invite friends, family, and the community to join us in honoring a life lived with boundless love, unwavering strength, and a spirit of adventure. My mother, a devoted educator at Lakeview Elementary, dedicated herself to nurturing the potential within every child she worked with, leaving a lasting impact on many.
Her home remedies, like the comforting “Lwil Maskriti” (castor oil) applications during times of illness when I was a child, are cherished memories that speak volumes of her nurturing nature. These acts of love, simple yet profound, were her way of ensuring we felt cared for and supported, embodying the essence of her protective and loving spirit.
Her passion for education transcended her role as an educator; it was a manifestation of her belief in the power of learning and growth. She inspired not only the students she directly supported but also her colleagues and our family, with her commitment to making a positive difference in every life she touched.
Her guiding principle, “Do not stand idly and become oblivious to the world. That is an easy way to become a victim of circumstances,” serves as a beacon for us all, encouraging active engagement with the world and a purposeful approach to life. Her words and actions were a testament to living passionately and with intention.
Mom’s entrepreneurial spirit, exemplified by her transportation business, and her academic achievement, deeply rooted in her love for education, showcased her resilience, ambition, and the drive to pursue her dreams against all odds.
Through this tribute, I wish to encapsulate the spirit of my mother—a woman of strength, love, and passion. She approached life on her own terms, demonstrating through her actions the importance of following one’s heart and making a meaningful impact.

To our neighbor who became family. Thank you for being so special from the day we met you, thank you for always being there for us, thank you because you always told us that we were your family and that’s how we feel. We miss you and never thought you would leave so quickly. We only ask that you rest there in heaven and we will always remember you as a great friend. Alonso, junior, Karina and Thais

So so sorry for your loss. May the comfort from the scriptures such as found in the book of
2 Thessalonians 2:16,17- Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, 17 comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.

Our deepest sympathies to the Ambroise family, especially Jeannine, Kevin, and Angie. May Jocelyn rest in peace!

Je presente mes sinceres codoleance a Toute les familles affectees par ce deuil especialement la famille Ambroise. Que Dieu accorde de la force et du courage a la famille. Que la terre lui soil legere.

Tamara Charlot
