J'aimerais offrir mes plus sincères condoléances à Paulène et Rudolph pour la perte de Géthro.  Même si nous avons été voisins pour près de 10 ans, je ne le  connaissais pas beaucoup car il était une personne réservée.  Il s'assurait toujours de me saluer de la main et de dire bonjour. Cependant d'après nos conversations, j'ai pu détecter un gentilhomme, à la voix douce, qui souriait tout le temps et qui avait une attitude joviale.  Il semblait aimer la vie, sa famille et son travail.  Géthro va nous manquer tous.

No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss.
Gethro’s compassionate nature was so refreshing. He was never too busy to listen and assist me when I visited my Mum. He cared and it showed. I will always be thankful for his kind, gentle and attentive treatment of my mother. 
Those who touched our hearts with their kindness will leave their tracks forever. 
May the beautiful memories you shared shine through the deep sorrow you are feeling at this very difficult time.


My condolences to Gethro's family. He was the kindest most gentle person. I am so sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

It saddened my heart, when I heard about your demise, may the good lord grant your soul eternal rest. Gethro indeed you was  a man with a good heart you always encourage and advices me, I will never forget you I still can’t believe that you are gone. Nurse as you always calls everyone of us, one foot two as I fondly  call you, you Always comes to work with a lunch bag full of food and you shared with us and eat. Ooh Gethro you may be gone but you will never be forgotten as your memories will always remain in my heart ❤️ May God grant your entire family and all of us your co-workers the fortitude to bear this loss. Good night till we meet again

My sincere condolences to the family especially to you Paulene. May God continue to bless you we will keep each other in prayer so that God can protect us. Géthro was a very good co-worker he always had a smile on his face and was always helping us. Sorry Popo for your loss love you. -Guerda Thoby

I feel like that we are all part of your family. The pain and unreal feeling can not be expressed by words. Each time I think of you, my eyes full of the tears.

You have never left us, you always in our hearts. The day pass by, the more close you with us. Could I please ask you one more time let me sit beside you for a drive? I miss u!

Gerthro there will never no one like you.  The kindness that you shown, the love and tenderness  that you display is rare. You cared  for me  as if I could  be your  daughter!. The respect  and value  that you  gave  was  nothing  like  no other.  You loved  my children  like  they could  be  yours  you loved  my husband  as if he was  your  son. Your  heart  and intentions  was always  Genuine. You're  a major loss to anyone  that knew  you.  I'll cherish  all of our  memories  for example  how you love to bring  cake  for our birthday   23 and 26 of September.  And the many times you brought me food that I crave  for when  I  was  pregnant . You never  had to  do  that, but  you  did because  that was  who you  were. I'll forever  be  grateful   for the kindness and warmth  that you never  fail to display towards  me and my family.  It breaks my heart   to know  that I'll never  hear you  say "nurse mwen yan an   koman timoun  mwen  yo ye? Voye ti foto  pou mwen  non ". I loved  you very  much  for that and for you just being  you. Rest well my dear sweet Gerthro. Heaven  has gained  another  angel

Que le Dieu de toute consolations vous console et vous donne la force de traverser cette dure épreuve. 
Puiser vos forces dans la source intarissable qui est Jésus. 

Que le Seigneur le Dieu de toute consolation vous fortifie et vous console. Qu'il vous donne la paix en ces pénibles circonstances. Dieu  sait pourquoi il laisse arriver les épreuves dans nos vies. Il est souverain.  

On behalf of the entire Phanor family here in Miami; Mr and Mrs. Phanor , Jonathan, Enock, Esther, and Demetry . We are sending our sincere condolences Revelation 14:13 says,” Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.... they may rest from their labours, for their deeds follow them.” Friends and family we have lost a man of God, a friend to all, a gentle soul, a man who was always willing to give his last to anyone, a humanitarian, and most the worlds best father, may he Rest In Peace. Amen.

Toutes mes sinceres condoleances a la famille. Que Dieu vous donne du courage! L'Eternel a donné, et l'Eternel a ôté; que le nom de l'Eternel soit béni.  
Il etait un homme tres sage et surtout un bon collegue de travail toujours souriant.
Nurse Gethro, que la terre te soit legere!
RIP!

Mes Sincères Condoléances á la famille Joseph, que le Seigneur vous console et vous fortifie! Je vous aime...

My favorite memory of Gethro is
Growing up in Haiti having him playing the row of a Father, while  my parents seek for a better life  in the United States for me and siblings. He took care of us like we were his biological kids. He was very patient, with us  very fun and at the same time very strict when he needed to be. I remember my first teacher of life is him. He taught me how to ride my first bike. taught me how to tie and my shoes, He also cook and clean for us. Everybody have a guardian angel and I think he was mines. Just last year my grandmother passed away,Which he had a very special relationship with her. We sat down and started to talk about Grandma and the memories that we shared together. He couldn't believe all thing that I remember remember from my childhood. At that moment i thank him for everything he did for me. I asked him when are you coming to visit me in Israel. he replied in the summer Esther is supposed to be coming to. this was one of the last conversation that i had with him.He was one of the most selfless person you could ever meet and he was a gift from God . I'm going to miss him dearly. Paren please save me a space in Heaven until we meet again.I love you 

It is very rare the you will would walk next to an angel on this earth. Paren was truly an angel on this earth. He always care for others, was so sensitive towards others feelings and was selfless. These are all characteristic of an angel. We are all hurting right but we all have to remember that God make no mistakes and that we all have a purpose on this earth, which Paren fulfilled that purpose. To Paren wife(Paulene) and children(Clifford and Rudolph) have courage and strength, as we all know what a father and husband that Gethro(Paren) was like. To the rest of the family, he have paved the way for us to be kind, patient, respectful, understanding and selfless to others. Just as he was,  so that we will one day join him in the kingdom of heaven.

I will continue to pray for all of you.

I can’t believe my friend is gone. I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my good friend, coworker, brother. He was a very special person, kind, compassionate . At work he called everyone “NURSE.
My deepest and most sincere condolences to the family and friends.
May the soul of my Nurse Gethro Rest In Peace.

Psalm 30: 5
Weeping may  stay for the night, but rejoicing come in the morning.
May the Lord keep each and every single one of your family safe and give them peace and strength upon your absent.My wonderful thoughts and memories of you will live forever in my hearts. I will never forget what you mean to me as a father. Paren,  till the day we meet again. R.I.P

We loss a Father and it feels so unreal.My most precious memory of my Parrèn that I will always remember is when our parents left all five of us in Haiti with Gethro Joseph to go to the USA to create a better life for us.this man treated us like we were his own children. He protected us and took such good care of all of us. It’s still seems unreal and I wish this was all a bad dream. The pain and sorrow sheds a dark cloud over me, Parrèn was our hero an amazing man, kind and a generous person I’m so glad that I had a chance to see you and talk to you when came to Miami for my grandmother’s funeral.It hurt so hard I’m going to miss you .

Mes sinceres sympathies a la famille. 
Mon ami  GHETRO,  paix a ton  Ame, que la terre te soit fertile. 
Tu resteras graver dans nos memoirs a jamais. AUX reste de la famille, que LE SEIGNEUR  vous fortifie  afain que vous puissiez traverser cette perriode doulhoureuse. Du courage,  du courage car la vie continue. 
A DIEU  Mon Ami GHETRO.

At work I would call him "Gét"  like an airplane  Jet because whenever he wanted to finished his task quickly: he would come close and  say to me in a quiet voice  hey (Joe) "I am ready  anytime" but the funny thing is that my name was not Joe. He gave me that nickname, after working  together on the same floor for ten years.... My last words to him was to take care of  himself that was 1 month ago. He reassured me by saying don't worry I AM OK!  I AM THE ONLY ONE STILL STANDING ON THIS FLOOR"JOE". Then he did his famous laugh that I will miss so very much. I will definitely miss our jokes and the laughter we had at work. He was such a kind, humble, jovial and caring man.  He treated me like a son, friend and a big brother his presence will be missed. To let the family, I just want to let you know that this man loved you all and he spoke so profoundly of you all the especially his wife. He did not passed away  in vain no; his memory will live on forever in our hearts . To the family my deepest sympathy. I hope you can all find comfort, support in the people that surround you and the wonderful memories you carry in your minds and in your hearts.  May God rest a pillow beneath him so that he can rest in everlasting peace.

Love you Gét

Ti doc nous a devancé cependant j’ai la ferme
