Chers Vous tous, je pense bien à vous en cette fin d'année 2014. Mon parrain me manque, mais il nous regarde de la-haut et je sais que le Seigneur veille sur lui. Je vous embrasses, Fabi

Cathy, no words can salve such a wound. Please know you have my sympathy.

Dear Cathy, Pierre and Ann, very saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. He was a very "big" man who left others with very strong memories of his passion and humor for life. The Mangones family is indelibly connected with my fantastic days at Union School and Haiti. May our outpourings at this time provide you with some warm, comforting memories to balance the great sorrow that you are feeling. Affectionately Rita

Parrain Jacquot chéri, je n'ai pas pu te dire "au revoir".... Mais j'ai été heureuse d'avoir pu parler pendant plusieurs mois avec toi sur skype. Toujours le mot pour rire, malgrè tout.... Lots of love , you will always be in my heart. Prayers for your all family, Thanks Anne Marie....Je me souviendrai toujours de nos beaux jours de jeunesse en Haiti...

Dear Pierre, Cathy, and Ann,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved father.  I have so many wonderful memories of our years together as children in Port-au-Prince surrounded by our parents including your dad.
May God's Grace give you the strength you need at this trying time in your lives.
Much love,  Audrey Anderson (Bachmann)

Very sorry for your loss. Saluting my cousin Jacques' courage in his long battle against cancer.
With much love and affection,
Lorraine Mangonès (Port-au-Prince, Haiti)

Rest In Peace my old friend. Even though I have not seen him in years, it seems like yesterday, 1963 when we were very young and trying to free our country of this ugly dictatorship. Jacques was so active in the movement, he gave his best while we were in the Dominican Republic, supported by then President Juan Bosch. So many memories... May God grant you Eternal Peace and open wide the door of his Paradise to you my friend. 
Bernard Sansaricq (Pembroke Pines, FL.)

I am so sorry for your loss -- Joseph Joeb has my words exactly!  Love, prayers and hugs to the entire family!

So very sorry for your loss. 'though I did not know him, knowing his daughter was reason enough to be thankful for his life.

Jane, I don't know that I ever met your husband, but I figure that knowing your kids, and you, he must have been wonderful. I'm so sorry for your loss... so sorry.

You may not remember me, which is okay, Union School is a long way back, but whatever, I saw this and it made me sad. 
Love to you,

Sally Hortop (PE teacher Union School, a million years ago)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

To my uncle Jacques Mangones; I will always remember your grand spirit, your burly laughter and terrible jokes that made us laugh into splinters, your great melodic voice often reminiscent of the folkloric songs of yesteryear, your love of Haiti and all of her raw beauty, your spirit of adventure and passion in all that you did from Montana to Madagascar, your love of aunt Jane that has transcended life's difficulties and lasted forever, your love of your kids and grandkids who you will watch over, and your unwavering love of God who embraces you now in his kingdom of love and peace. I love you Tonton Jacques!

My favorite memory of Tonton Jacques is when he came out to visit us in California. I remember he sat me on his lap and showed me his watch that he had programmed to say "I love you" and then he sang to me. I am blessed to have had him as part of my family and my life and am thankful for his love and for his example of being dedicated to his family. I pray that God has opened His arms and has received him in Heaven and that he is now with Mami Yvonne having "un cafe". I will never forget him and will continue to pray for him always. Love you Jacquo.

My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.  Keeping your family in my prayers.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
