Dieudonne Petit-Choute - February 23, 1942 - June 19, 2024

Departed: 06/19/2024 (Oakland Park)
Obituary Preview: "I’M FREE" Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch If my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Quoique, parfois clairs, nuageux, pluvieux et orageux, l’un d’entre eux ouvrait la porte à la naissance d’une jolie fillette du prenom de Céramène, à l’Etang, section rurale de la commune de Bassin-bleu le 20 Mars 1947.

Alors, Mes dames, Mrs, leur union matrimoniale était stérile. Cependant, Mme Céramène Séné était dotée d’un sentiment philantropique qui l’a rendue la plus connue et populaire parmi tous les members de sa famille, partageant la moindre chose qu’elle avait; car aux tréfonds de son œeur sensible aux besoins des autres (familles, amis et étrangers), ellle considérait tous (petits et grands) comme s’ils étaients ses enfants.

Malheureusement, elle n’a même pas encore moissoné les fruits de ses sacrifices sanglants, le samedi 8 Juin 2024, pendant qu’elle était attendue pour aller àl’église, la mort l’à subitement enlevée dans nos rangs à l’âge de 77ans.

Dominique Antoine - July 15, 1972 - June 23, 2024

Departed: 06/23/2024 (Oakland Park)
Obituary Preview: Le dramaturge William Shakespeare disait: “Aimez maintenant pendant que vous viviez, car dans la mort vous ne pouvez pas aimer”. Dans cette déclaration, l’auteur nous invite à aimer les uns les autres pendant que nous sommes encore en vie. Et c’est ce qu’a fait
Dominique pendant toute sa vie. C’est toujours douloureux de parler d’un être cher au passé, mais c’est aussi agréable
d’avoir un passé glorieux. Qui était Dominique ? Dominique Antoine, de son nom complet, a vu le jour le 15 Juin 1972, à l'Île de la
Tortue, Haïti.  Sa mère était Egremise Etienne et son père Andieu Antoine(décédé). Très tôt, le jeune Dominique laissait Haïti pour se rendre aux USA en quête de réaliser ses rêves les plus chers. C’est ainsi qu’il a rencontré son âme sœur, Myrtha Byssainthe, ensemble ils ont conçu 5 enfants. Dominique était un homme de grand cœur, ami de tout le monde. Il aimait partager. A côté de ces qualités exemplaires, Dominique était un mari, un père de famille, un frère, un cousin, un ami dont beaucoup rêvaient d’avoir. Il est parti si tôt, laissant derrière lui son épouse Myrtha Byssainthe, ses enfants Kerwin Antoine, Winsky Antoine, Wardelyn Antoine, Dodner Antoine, Winsley, Miyhana Antoine, Dodeleine Antoine. Sa mère Egremise Etienne, ses frères et sœurs Dieurius Antoine, Dorcy Antoine, Jocelyn Antoine, Yvenert Antoine, Hérode Etienne,Wilner Antoine, Iznara Etienne, Janestine Antoine, Marguerite Antoine,
Micheline Antoine. Suite à des complications de santé, Dominique s'était fait opérer à trois reprises. Une semaine après avoir célébré son anniversaire, soit le 15 Juin 2024, il ne se sentait pas trop bien et se rendait à l'hôpital WestSide le Samedi 22 Juin 2024. Et un jour plus tard, soit le Dimanche 23 juin, il s’est rendu l'âme aux environs de 3:00 pm. La plus grande faiblesse de Dominique, il ne pouvait rester insensible devant la douleur, la souffrance, et les problèmes des autres. Il était toujours prêt à venir en aide à celui qui en a le
besoin, et même sans arrière-pensée. Nos sympathies s’en vont à ses tantes Dorcina Etienne et famille, Louicine Etienne et famille, à sa belle-mère Tancilia Byssainthe et famille, à ses cousins et cousines, aux familles Etienne, Antoine, Joseph, Byssainthe, et tous les autres membres de famille et
amis affectés par sa brusque disparition. Tom Wolfe disait, “La mort est le dernier voyage, le plus long et le meilleur”. Alors, je t’ai dit bon départ mon cher cousin. Que ton âme repose

Hedouvil Henry - July 05, 1937 - July 11, 2024

Departed: 07/11/2024 (Oakland Park)
Obituary Preview: Comme on nous faisait savoir depuis nos plus jeune age que la mort est impitoyable. Elle n'a pas de coeur. Le 11 juillet dernier elle a encore fait une victime. Mon oncle Hedouvil Henry n'a pas pu échapper à sa fureur. La derniere fois que jai vu mon oncle. Il était très affaibli. Bien qu'il me reconnaissait, il ne pouvait même pas prononcer mon nom de manière claire. Pour moi c'était un signe qu'il allait faire face à la mort sous peu.
Mon oncle Doudou était le dernier d'une famille de cinq enfants, tous decédés. Son père Hessel Henry l'avait quité tout petit. Il était agé seulement de 5 ans. Mon feu père Henock Henry me racontait que mon oncle Doudou disait à l'époque ( gade non an yo metel nan yon bwat). Sa mère Rachelle Blaise, une vaillante femme chargeait avec mon père de leur éducation.
Hedouvil Henry est né à Bombardopolis le 5 juillet 1937 dans une zone appelée Verné. Il fasait ses études classiques à l'école Nationale Hammerthon Killick de Bombardopolis où il a décroché son certificat d’étude primaire. Devoué à la cause des gens de sa communauté, il a gratuitement offert ses service à une école communautaire pour aider les gens à appredre à lire et à écrire.
Mon oncle était un fervent chretien, un membre zélé de l’église Eben Ezer de Bombardopolis. Un peu plus tard dans sa vie, il tombait sous le charme de Audamene Norvelus qu’il l’épousera en 1968. Cette relation a donné naissance à Venel Henry, son unique fils qui est chargé en compagnie de sa femme Kerlande, des devoirs de son père.
Dans un souci, d’améliorer les conditions de vie des membres de sa famille, mon oncle Doudou, a pris la décision de quitter Haiti comme bon nombre de nos compatriots pour s’installer aux U.S.A en 1981. Au cour de ce voyage, il a connu toutes les difficulés. Repéré par les Gardes côtières des U.S.A, il a été dans un premier temps envoyé sur une base militaire à Texas puis transféré à une à Miami. C’est bien à Miami que son cousi Borde était venu le cherché. Aprè avoir travaillé a diffent endroits, il a pu faire rentrer aux U.S.A mon cousin Venel de même que sa femme Audamene Norvelus qui était toujours à son chevet jusqu’à sa mort.
Mon oncle Doudou était un homme de caractere, honnête, digne de foi qui aimait beaucoup sa famille. Il aimait partager. Je me souviens encore qu’il envoyait de l’argent avec une cassette où tous les membres de la famille étaient reunis pour écouter sa voix et savoir comment partager l’argent. Des fois, il l’envoyait l’argent avec une liste de noms et les montants à attribuer à chaque membre de la famille. Mon oncle était aussi un homme reconnaissant. Il n’oubliait jamais ce que d’autres ont fait pour lui. A titre, d’example je vais juste citer un nom: Kerlande Valbrun Henry, qui était sa belle fille, mais aussi son ami. (Li te toujou dim sil fè plis tan avek nou se gras Kerlande. Li te dim pagen lajan poul ta peye Kerlande. Sal te dim yo se pat manti telman Kerlande te byen pran swoin tontonm). Mon oncle Doudou a laissé derrière lui Venel Henry, son fils unique, deux petits fils Handel et Mendez Henry, et une belle fille en la personne de Kerlande Valbrun. Les derniers instants de la vie de mon oncle ont été surtout marqués par des va-et-vient de sa residance à North Lauderdale à l’hopital. Puis, il a été mis à l’auspice privé avec sa famille. Kerlande a une fois encore tenu sa promesse puisqu’elle disait toujours que papi Doudou est trop bon, il n’irrait jamais dans une “nursing home”
Pour avoir vécu près de cette famille depuis des années, je voudrais remercier Audamene Norvelus, cette vaillante femme que mon oncle a épousé et qui était toujours près de son lit jusqu’ à sa disparition le 11 juillet dernier. Je voudrais remercier Venel et sa famille pour avoir enduré autant de sacrifice avec mon oncle et pour l’avoir traité avec dignité et respect. Je voudrais profiter pour adresser mes plus sincères condoléances aux familles Henry, Norvelus, Valbrun, Lemieux, Charlemagne, Cherenfant Family, et à toute autre famille affectée par cette disparition
Merci.
