My sincere condolences to the family and friends of a uniquely blessed woman.  Though I was only with her a few times, I’d like to share a sweet memory of her from Emmanuele’s baby shower to prepare for the arrival of Michael.  Mommy Archange recognized me and gave me a big hug and kiss.  She took me by the hand to  her table to show me something. Our conversation was not in English, yet I am  certain I understood every  word. She picked up her Bible, which I noticed had many bookmarks. She opened to a page marked by a photograph of Major Jimmy. She wanted to share the news of his promotion, Of course, I knew about it, but her wanting to show me his photo  made me feel part of a wonderful family.  Emmanuele knows I felt a special connection with her Mommy.  There were times I asked for her prayers, and my prayers were answered. I grew very fond of  Emmanuele’s  “Haitians”. I have met many of the family, and send my Peace and Live to all. — Gail Hansen

What I remember about your mom was how kind she was, how she loved her children, she would say babies are good, you all were a blessings from God she said.

My deepest condolences for the loss of this beautiful woman.  I met her through her daughter Emmanuele. When it was time to go off to college (23 years ago), I  didn't have enough money to get to FAMU on my own. I didn't have anyone in my family to help me. I had won scholarships for college but didn't have a  way to get there.  With no notice and never having met me, this beautiful woman allowed me to ride with her family to Tallahassee.  I will never forget that beautiful gesture of support.  I graduated with a Masters degree in Business Administration. Alcina is apart of my origin story. Thank you a million times for being an angel on earth.

This photo was taken October 2023 at Temple De Leternel. We shared a beautiful hug, prayers, and love message.
