Odile Marie Josephine Sanon-Pierre

Rest in peace.

Je vous présente mes sincères condoléances. Que Dieu accueille l’âme dans sa miséricorde et lui accorde le repos éternel. À toi sa filleule Kareen Sanon Séne, que le Seigneur vous apporte force, paix et courage en ces moments douloureux.
Mes pensées et mes prières vous accompagnent.

Mes plus sincères condoléances Kareen, pour le départ de celle que j’appelais affectueusement “Julien Lepers” depuis notre rencontre à ton mariage. Je remercie le Seigneur pour la présence constante de tata Odile dans la vie de ta famille, pour sa solidité en toutes circonstances et son cœur généreux. Qu’Il l’admette en son paradis et que la terre lui soit légère. Yalla sugnu ngem, Yalla sugnu dunda.
Amen

God had called her daughter home..Didile was a sister, an auntie and a close friend to my family we all adored and cherished her from the time she had came to our life. Her smile could light up a whole room her sense of humor was to die for she will definitely be missed. RIP Didile we love you.

What a jewel you were Odile! You’ve left your glorious print in every soul that had the privilege to cross your path. To know you, is a blessing,. To be with you is an honor. To accompany you in the weekly mess is a dominical celebration. My dear sister, your passage among us was a treat, and I will continue to carry your legacy for years and years. God bless you, my sister, and save me a place, right next to you, just like we do every Sunday in Saint Anne’s Church. You are the beauty, and the best.

I lost a unique and irreplaceable aunt
She was kinder than needed to be
Your kindness the deaf heard it
The blind saw it
Rest in peace!

I’m not mom’s oldest. She adopted a child who came to her place of work daily asking for assistance in Haiti many, many years before I was born. When my aunt asked where he’s going to sleep, in her one bedroom apartment, she said behind me on the same bed because she said, “I don’t know where he’s sleeping now” and she couldn’t bear the thought of him sleeping on the streets. In the Duvalier regime, parents were often jailed or murdered for challenging the regime or imprisoned.. My brother is also not the youngest. She offered to help me raise my son since he was 2 1/2 after my wife passed away suddenly. The only mother he’s known. How was she so maternal without ever knowing her own mom who passed away when she was younger than my son was? Intrinsic for sure, but some of it must come from her deep faith and a love of family and people in general. She made friends easily and then made them family too. She often called friends, sisters. She adopted Mary as her mom and was devoted to her. She travelled the world to all of the sights she appeared in. Absolutely loved life and you’d be hard pressed to see her without a smile. She prayed devoutly. Filled the house with songs and singing and laughter. She was tough and can be stubborn, but she was always kind and generous. So to me, the reason she was so maternal is because she has a heart of gold.

Mamie Odile,
Merci de m’avoir comblée d’amour
Tu as été pour moi une épaule, un cœur bienveillant, une douce présence qui répandait sa chaleur comme un rayon de soleil.
Avec ton cœur immense, tu as toujours accueilli mes collègues et amis comme tes enfants, tu as pris soin de nous avec une tendresse infinie, toujours prête à offrir un sourire, un repas, une discussion ou simplement la chaleur de ta présence.
Merci pour ton amour, pour ta bienveillance, pour tout ce que tu as semé dans nos vies. Tu resteras pour toujours une lumière douce dans nos souvenirs, un exemple de générosité et de bonté.
Je t’aime, pour toujours.
Demeure dans la joie du Seigneur !
Au revoir!
Ta Zippy

Deepest condolences to the family of Mme. Sanon-Pierre. Her son is one of the kindest and warmest people I have known, surely a reflection of the love and strength he received from his mother.
May her memory be a blessing to all who have known her. Mes pensées les plus sincères vous accompagnent.

Didile, l’amour ne meurt jamais! Tu resteras à jamais dans nos cœurs. Vas, vas en paix ma sœur.
