Yanick Leger - September 30, 1950 - June 05, 2020

Departed: 06/05/2020 (Oakland Park)

Obituary Preview: Yanick was born on September 30th, 1950 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, from parents Jean Elias Leger, her father, and mother Armelite Meuse. She grew up in Port-au-Prince with her younger brother Elias Leger and, having been orphaned at an early age by their mother’s death, later welcomed two more brothers, Dimitry and Steve.

Known in her closer circles by her nickname Nanoune, Yanick attended College George Mark in the 60’s in Port-au-Prince. She emigrated to the US in the early ‘70s and resided with her uncle George and wife Ghislaine in Brooklyn N.Y., where she attended New York City Community College. Her brother Tilou moved to the US and joined her at uncle George and Ghislaine’s residence. As a testimony to her selflessness, Tilou recalls how Nanoune went out of her way, while attending to her own work and school obligations, to make his transition to US college painless.

Yanick met Ernst 15 plus years ago, they had a very special relationship. He took good care of her; he was there through thick and thin, all the way until the end.

Thank you to her friends and those who were always there for her. Although God has decided to call you now, Nanoune, we will never forget you. Thank you for the great memories, your sisterly love and the friendship you gave us while you were with us. We are very lucky to have known you, lived with you and learned from you.

Goodbye, our dear Nanoune. We love you. We miss you already. Rest in peace. Love, always.

Leclerc Jean - March 13, 1953 - February 02, 2020

Departed: 02/02/2020 (Oakland Park)

Obituary Preview: Leclerc Jean was born to Jeancilien Jean and Charite Toussaint on March 13th, 1953 in Borgne, Haiti. He grew up together with his brother (Jean Toussaint) and his sister (Ma’Sedai). Shortly after, he married Dina Altidor together, they raised seven children. As a hardworking and caring father, he did not want his family to have a life in Haiti. So, in the 80s, he came to the United States to aspire to a better life and to be able to support his family.

He was a great provider and supporter of his beloved family. Over time, he became a businessman well known by the nickname "Serezon". He taught his loved ones to work hard, to be smart in everything you do, and to be wise in saving. He liked to tell jokes every time you were with him. You were going to laugh and have a good time.

In his old age, he became more like a brother to his sons. They hung out together on every opportunity they had, telling stories and playing cards, which was one of his favorite things. No one would believe that a Haitian father could have such a close relationship with his children. But Leclerc was different. He enjoyed being around his children at every opportunity he had. And nothing could take this special time away.

Leclerc had planned to overcome his illness and pursued the life he known to be: a caring father, protector, and provider for his family. Proverbs 16: 9 tells us -"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."

So on February 2, 2020, God had another plan. Our Heavenly Father called Leclerc to come home. Even in his dying bed, Leclerc continued to ask for prayers knowing that only the will of the Father will be fulfilled. May we never forget how much he loved and wanted the best for all of us. Leclerc Jean is survived by:

Wife: Dina Jean; Sons: Harold, Emile, Sergio, Jacquelin, Jameson and Jimmy Jean; Daughter: Myrtha Etienne; Son-in-law: Rodely Etienne; Daughters-in-law: Ludie, Hermione, Anicile, Francesse Jean; Grandchildren: Elijah, Noah, Emmanuel, Enaija, Ethan, Enel, Janiah, Jeremiah, Jaliah, Trayvon, Victoria, Twency Jean; Michekalie and Mylineda Etienne; Brother: Jean Toussaint; as well as countless cousins ​​/ close family members and friends: Jean family, Lexis family, Morency family, Etienne family, Bazile family.

Georges Gregory Prosper - July 08, 1970 - November 13, 2019

Departed: 11/13/2019 (Oakland Park)

Obituary Preview: Georges Gregory Prosper est  né le 7 Août 1970; fils des époux Frantz et Yolande Prosper, il est la cadet d’une famille de 4 enfants et le seul garçon. Dès son plus jeûne âge, Greg s’est distingué par son amour sans limite et son affection pour sa famille. Grâce à nos parents aimants et affectueux, soucieux du bien-être de leur progéniture, nous avons eu la chance d’évoluer dans une ambiance familiale remplie de convivialité, de fraternité et d’union.

Ayant terminé ses etudes classiques au Nouveau Collège Bird, Greg opta pour le Génie Civil. Par la suite, il se rendit aux États Unis où il épousa Stéphanie Veillard. De cette union sont nés deux enfants, Cédric et Naïkay. Greg était respecté et aimé de tous. Sa famille et ses nombreux amis peuvent en témoigner.

Ce qui frappait le plus chez lui, c’était sa confiance absolue en DIEU. Ce n’était pas négociable. Tout passait par Dieu et Dieu avait toujours le dernier mot.

Son départ est une perte immense pour sa famille et ses amis. Nous nous souviendrons toujours de cet homme respectueux, poli, courtois, responsable, soucieux des autres, prévenant.

Aujourd’hui, il est de retour parmi les siens. Il n’est plus vivant mais son souvenir demeurera à jamais dans nos pensées et dans nos coeurs. Repose en paix!

Familles Prosper, Veillard, Obas, Chéry, et Nau.

Clifford Nordelus - May 30, 1969 - September 29, 2018

Departed: 09/29/2018 (Oakland Park)

Obituary Preview: May 30th, 1969 was a day like no other. The Nordelus family was gifted with an energetic bundle of joy in the person of Clifford Nordelus. Clifford was born on the beautiful island of Nassau Bahamas to the proud parents of Antonio and Amarant Nordelus. Clifford obtained his early and secondary education at Stapledon School for the mentally disabled. As a young adult he worked at various Supermarkets before migrating with his parents to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Pastor Cliff” as he was often called back home, loved the Lord. He loved every and anything pertaining to the work of God.  He loved to praise the Lord“Beni Soir L’eternel!” Give him the opportunity and he would preach, sing, dance and even beat the drums! Clifford no doubt was a gift to humanity. He touched so many lives with his warm and infectious personality. You never came into contact with him and remained the same. He always looked for an opportunity to start a conversation. Whether it meant him asking about your shoes, necktie etc... “Where you got it from?” “How much you paid for it or better yet buy me one!” If Clifford had no other purpose he served his purpose as being medicine for the soul. I don't know how he did it but he had a never ending supply of joy and laughter. So much that no matter how your day was going he always said or did something to cause you to smile or laugh. Clifford had one weakness however and that was his stomach! He had no shame when it was food time. Whenever the food took too long to cook he would say “food” and just in case you didn't get the message he would bring his bowl and he would cry until the food was ready!

Family and friends we all thank God for allowing us the opportunity to have been partakers of such wonderful gift. Fond and lasting memories will forever be in the hearts of:

Father: Antonio Nordelus; Brother: Wilner (Emma) Nordelus, Sisters: Elmita Nordelus, Bernadette Saintilus; Nieces & Nephews: Gayland (Sharon) Nordelus, Leomi (Luke) Caty, Barry Nordelus, Ketanna Finlayson, Witny Desinor, Chandler Volel, Bernice, Lori, Tiffany, Bernita, and Hope Saintilus, Jude Jr. and Jermaine Rolle; Aunts & Uncles: Destin, Osdon, Yvoyel, Mme Wilfarad, Tina;Cousins: Achille Belony, Isaac Belony (Rose), Leonne Belony, Arlette Belony, Marcelin Belony, Devilon Belony, Jaenis Belony, Maurice Belony, Maurasse Belony, Romain, Freguy, Rodnell, Arlette, Marianne, Daniel; And a host of grand nieces, nephews and friends.

Leonne Jacques - October 19, 1942 - August 10, 2018

Departed: 08/10/2018 (Oakland Park)

Obituary Preview: Née à Jeannin, Commune de Petite Rivière de l’Artibonite, le 19 Octobre 1942, Léonne s’était fait remarquer parmi ses frères et sœurs par son savoir-faire et son dévouement. Elle a été aimée de tous et par tous. Léonne Jacques connue parmi les siens comme “KOYO” a rencontré l’homme de sa vie à l’âge de 17 ans. Trois ans plus tard, ils étaient mariés. Et de cette union, qui a duré 56 ans jusqu’à la mort de son époux, naquirent cinq garçons :

Lejean Jacques, Annilus Jacques, Cheldais Jacques, Ricot jacques et, de regrettéemémoire, Néker Jacques. Après le départ de son mari pour les Etats-Unis en Juillet 1984, Koyo a surmonté les péripéties que nous savons tous pour élever cinq garçons toute seule. Koyo, comme disent ses garçons était une héroïne. Elle a tout fait pour que ses enfants aillent à l’école et reçoivent la meilleure éducation possible, elle qui, pourtant, n’a pas pu bénéficier des  bienfaits d’une formation académique. Son souci était que tous ses enfants soient bien formés. Ainsi, grâce à ses efforts, les quatre premiers garçons ont tous terminé leurs études secondaires et universitaires avant de laisser Haïti pour les USA.

Koyo a rejoint son mari aux Etats-Unis en 1997.  Ils étaient devenus un couple inséparable. Ils faisaient tout ensemble. Ils étaient devenus masseurs. Koyo et son mari ont aidé beaucoup de gens à recouvrer leur santé. Elle était douée dans la découverte des maladies naturelles chez les autres. Depuis son arrivée aux USA, Koyo a travaillé en un seul et unique endroit : The Sage Dining, à Boca Raton. Elle était beaucoup aimée, tant par ses pairs que par ses superviseurs.

Après la mort tragique de son plus jeune fils, Koyo est tombée malade et depuis lors ses jours étaient comptés. Six mois après ce départ prématuré de son benjamin, Koyo et son mari se sont donnés à Jésus. Le couple a reçu le baptême à l’Eglise adventiste Eben-Ezer de Lake Worth, en Floride.

Léonne Jacques a souffert courageusement de sa maladie pendant des années et le vendredi 10 août 2018, à 9:56 PM, entourée de ses garçons, elle a rendu l’esprit à l’hôpital Bethesda de Boynton Beach.

Léonne Jacques, Koyo pour tous ceux qui ont partagé son affection, laisse gravée dans notre mémoire l’image d’une femme battante, courageuse, passionnée du vrai et du beau, mais par-dessus tout, une femme de foi. Ses tout derniers mots avant de tomber dans ce profond coma qui a eu raison d’elle ont été ceux d’un chant chrétien populaire. Avec beaucoup de difficultés Koyo les a chantés : Si ou wè m ap viv vye frè, se gras Bondye k sou mwen. Se pa anyen m fè pou sa, se gade m gade m wè m konsa. Kite m louwe...Elle reprendra sa louange...sur le seuil de l’éternité.En paix tu te reposes, Koyo. Que la terre te soit légère !

Therese S. Regisma was born in the North West part of Haiti on July 3rd, 1942.She was the second child of a family of six, where many have since passed away. She was the daughter of Mr. Odias Saintil and Mrs. Louiceline Louijeune, both of regretted memory. In 1980 she migrated to the United States of America looking for better opportunities for her family. The Lord blessed her with seven children: Luzette, Wilsaint, Bernard, Fritz, Wilner, Rosette and Loubinn Regisma. After granted her green card in 1986, she was too weak economically to migrate all of her kids to the US, but courageously she fought and migrate them three by three.

She was very intelligent, kind, gentle and pleasant to everyone. She was a lover, a giver, a listener, a courageous woman, and big tree with many branches. Death is not the end of life, for her love will go on amongst her children, her family and friends long after she is gone. Today she falls, but she will be revived because she has plenty of roots that will regrow, and her legacy will stay in the hearts of her children forever. Our sincere condolence goes to:

Children: Luzette, Wilsaint, Bernard, Fritz, Wilner, Rosette and Loubinn Regisma; Sisters & Brother: Claudius, Carmene and Adilia Saintil; Daughters & Sons in Law: Irlande, BienAimise, Laurette, Marie Chandeline Regisma,Yves Donnas and Jean Gille Ocgenor; Grandchildren: Jean Martin (and his wife), Berne Suze (and her husband), Jessica (and her husband), Berlin,Willine ,Kerlande, Nadeline, Nadler, Sonson ,Roberta, Shlimbert, Andeline, Fritzley, Jumel, John, Levine, Fradlinx Regisma; Cindy Nelson; Sherlgie and Jamesly Ocgenor; Cousins: Sauveur, Nevastor,Marie- Claude, Francion, Dumercy, Dieusel, Yolette, Wilson Franck ,Guirlaine ,Elvita, Ernst, Wisny, Almaide Saintil ;Madelaine, Ronald Geffrard, Sirilien Alvenat, Franck Salomon, Marilaine, Guirlande Moise, Sonia Saint hilaire and her husband, Ferdilus, Anide,Wilmine,  Natacha Petit-Frere; Yrvana Jean Charles; Great grandchildren: Maya, Miami, Christopher, Keyler, Jordan, Omari and Zephenia; her nephews & nieces; Friends: Yvarna Jean- Charles, Wiler Momprevil, Madame Michael Valcin, Madame Sauveur Saintil.

She had a great sense of humor and is remembered as someone who always had an infectious smile on her face. Her most treasured possessions were her family and her faith in God. Peace to her soul and she will be miss!!!!!!!!

Therese Lamour - August 19, 1933 - July 31, 2018

Departed: 07/31/2018 (Oakland Park)

Obituary Preview: Madame Thérèse Lominy, née Lamour, naquit à  Jacmel le 19 Août 1933. Elle était la fille unique de sa mère Philora Lamour.  Elle passa son enfance et sa jeunesse à Jacmel. Elle fit ses études primaires chez les soeurs Immaculée et ses études secondaires au Lycée Elie Lamour de Jacmel.  Sa beauté et sa coquetterie attira l’attention de Mr. Hector Lominy qui l'épousa en 1955.  De cette union naquirent cinq enfants (quatre filles et un  garçon): Marie- Yolène, Hector Jr. décédé durant son enfance, Sandra-Iltrude, Marie-Shella, Nadia-Mai.

Elle entra à Port-au-Prince avec sa famille en 1965. Elle  vécut aux Etats-Unis durant les années 1972-1975. Durant ce séjour aux Etats-Unis, elle accepta Jésus Christ comme son Sauveur et Seigneur et fut baptisée à l’église Baptiste d’Expression Française à New York ou elle devint un membre. De retour en Haïti en 1975, Thérèse devint un membre de l’Eglise Baptiste des Cités (EBC) à Delmas.  Elle  travailla pour un certain temps comme chef de Cuisine  pour l’organisation auxiliaire d’EBC, appelée «Aide aux Enfants».  A côté de ses talents de cuisinière, Thérèse fut par profession une Modiste de la haute couture. Remarquablement,  elle a su transmettre ses connaissances à de nombreuses jeunes filles par des cours d’instruction durant l’été et des ateliers de formation en vue de les aider à acquérir une profession.

Spirituellement, Thérèse fut une géante dans la foi.   Elle avait une passion pour les âmes perdues, un souci pour la croissance spirituelle des sauvés et une grande compassion pour les démunis, les sans-abris et les prisonniers.  Elle co-fonda le groupe d’évangélisation «Pêcheurs d’hommes» et également l’Eglise chrétienne à Morne- à-Chandelle, en Haïti. Elle fut  pendant des années une instructrice pour les candidats au Baptême à l’Eglise Patriarche de Cazeau à Croix des Bouquets.  De retour à Jacmel, elle devint un membre et un leader de l’Eglise du Nazaréen de Jacmel.  Elle émigra aux Etats Unis en 2004 et résida tantôt  à Massachussetts, tantôt en Floride ou elle persévéra tour à tour à l’Eglise Baptiste Haïtienne de Lynn, et à l’Eglise Baptiste Haïtienne Missionnaire de Pembroke Road à Miramar. Elle était connue pour sa générosité, ses missions d’entraide et d’évangélisation dans les prisons, les hôpitaux et les asiles pour proclamer en parole et action la bonne nouvelle de l’amour de Jésus-Christ.

Thérèse a laissé un riche patrimoine de foi chrétienne, de courage et d’amour à ses enfants.  Elle a aussi tracée l’example de grâce et de pardon pour ses petits-enfants: Eddy Viau, Kettia Démosthene, Taisha Viau, Sahri Théodore, Gabriel Démosthene, Stéphanie Valmé, Anya Ducasse, Sophie Valmé et aussi ses bénédictions maternelles à ses arrières petits-enfants: Caleb Trotman Jr., Nolan Viau, Noah Démosthene. Nous chérissons la douce mémoire de Thérèse Lamour Lominy qui a quitté cette terre, le 31 Juillet 2018 pour entrer en sa demeure céleste.  L'un de ses versets  favoris se retrouve au Psaume 34 v1: «Je bénirai l’Eternel en tout et sa louange sera toujours dans ma bouche.» Elle est maintenant libre de le faire sans restriction et distraction.

A toutes les familles et amis affectés par le départ de notre bien-aimée Sr. Thérèse, l’Eglise Baptiste Haïtienne de Lynn et de Pembroke Road présentent leur profonde sympathie et leurs condoléances les plus sincères.
