Dear Jocky

My heart breaks for you on this grieving journey, following the passing of your older brother Jean Robert. No matter, the distance who separated you in this adopted country, I know the way you were close to him. This relation was pure and magic but certainly will live on your beautiful memories. I know also that there are no words able to adequately express how sorry we can be, and nothing more can be added, to ease your sorrow, but I want you to know that in the name of the AMHE as well as in my own, we would like to support your efforts during these difficult journeys.

To you, Kettely and the children, to all the members of the Fanfan family, your brother Lesly, your sisters Monique, Paule-Marie, Elsie and Michele, to your nephews and nieces Randolph, Gregory, Jennifer and Tania, to other nephews and nieces, to the friends of the family, we would like to present our sincere sympathies. The family will not be the same without him but we hope that you will find comfort in each other and will get through these moments together. One says that: “Grief is Love with nowhere to go”. Jean Robert's mission on earth is over and he was called by his creator.

May his light continue to shine on through you and may he be well received in his eternal residence.

Que la terre te soit légère mon cher Jean Robert.

La vie dit-on est un éternel recommencement mais il devient de plus en plus difficile de voir ses amis proches nous quitter un après l'autre. Jacques s'est endormi tout doucement hier, comme il avait vécu... mais il devient encore plus difficile pour ceux qui le survivent sur cette terre, de continuer le train-train de la vie sans les amis qui nous ont côtoyés depuis plus d'un demi-siècle.
Apres une longue maladie qui l'a force vers une retraite méritée, Jacques a su mener une vie de famille. Nous nous sommes connus sur les bancs de la Faculté de Medecine et certes, j'étais son aine et de plus, nous avons pioche pour étudier ensemble afin de réussir aux examens du FLEX. Nous avons aussi milité pendant de longues annees a Howard Universite Hospital dans nos différentes spécialités.
Nos familles et nos enfants se sont côtoyés pendant de nombreuses annees. J'ai tant exprimé mon chagrin a voir partir ces amis qui nous délaissent un par un, pour un meilleur monde. Il est dit qu"un ami ne laisse jamais notre coeur". Cependant, je le sens bien quand notre cercle social s'amincie de jours en jours.
Les mots ne suffisent pas pour exprimer un état d'âme et en apprenant le départ de Jacques, Il me revenait de prendre mon courage a deux mains pour essayer de réconforter Frantz. Les enfants étaient aussi près d'elle. J'ai profité de l'occasion pour lui présenter des condoléances émues a elle, aux enfants Johannie, Jacques Frantz Jacques et Frantz Anny et a toute la famille tant en mon nom personnel qu'au nom de la AMHE.
Comme un vétéran Orthopédiste et Traumatologiste, je peux confirmer que la perte d'un ami est l'équivalent de la perte d'une extrémité. Si le temps arrive parfois à pallier, la perte de l'ami ne peut jamais être corrigée.
Bon voyage mon ami Jacques et sois heureux dans ta demeure éternelle. Puisses-tu nous préparer le chemin. Que la terre te soit légère.

Addy left us to join her Creator, yesterday. It is deeply a painful and difficult experience for us, because a friendship of more than 50 years can't be replaced. Your short stay in the hospital for medical care has also given us intense grief, sadness and anger. Your mission on earth is over and we hope that your passage to a better world will be more pleasant.
Parnel and I will remember the bouillon with crabs, we tasted so often while visiting you. I want to share with him the condolences to all the family and especially your son family, in the name of the AMHE as well as in my own.
Bon voyage Addy et que la terre te soit legere. Ce n'est qu'un aurevoir.

Carolyn Lara Coles MD
It has been for me like a reminder that Life is an eternal beginning. I was so proud to see you, with the class of 2025, receiving the same little piece of document for which, at different periods of time, we have lost so many nights of sleep, working to do the impossible and capture a dream.
Was it really what happened, or was it really a dream? I have seen you walking up after taking that diploma from your dean and the young girl, my daughter, that I have never seen jumped, almost “dunked“ in the basketball net. I asked myself if she has used some wings to perform such. The Joy in taking your picture has surely made you understand that It was not a dream.
I want you to know that this piece of paper you have earned with all your sweats, can’t be taken off… but you need to nurture that enthusiasm and that eagerness to become the best in what you have chosen to become: a physician in the field of Psychiatry.
You will have as many challenges that we had in the past or perhaps, more. It looks like you are going to fight robots and machines of the future which will challenge your existence, questioning your diagnoses and treatments. At the end, I doubt that your life would ever be different than the one that your Dad has experienced for 52 years.
The Artificial intelligence will challenge all your moves and will try to prove you wrong. These machines that we have created will render our professional life impossible and will place doubt in our mind but they will also sharpen your skills. We have created them and we need to control them and use them at will.
In receiving the diploma, I may have felt that in your jump, part of your mother and part of myself, demonstrated an affirmation or a commitment rendering you, ready to face this world of adversity.
You made your choice and you have even chosen your specialty, while, me as you know, I had doubts and I needed to wait at the end of my internship to be sure that my specialty will suit me. Once chosen, I have never looked backed but I am what I am and nobody in the world can change me. By this way, my patients will place their thrust in me because I will put my knowledge at their service.
Certainly, I will have doubt in my diagnosis, but I will decide in the best of my ability. I may be stubborn but I will have to leave somewhere a place to lay back and ask myself if I were right or wrong and accept failures and victories. After all, we are human-being and we take our strength from that supreme force which renders us invincible.
Being in the field of Psychiatry or in the field of Surgery does not change us in our sacerdoce, we only aspirate to the best outcome for the patient. Best of luck, sweet daughter, remember that I will be always on the side of a telephone or at some miles away from your practice, do not hesitate to call. You are going to start a journey alone, around some friends but it will be always at the end, your patient and yourself in the equation.
Faith and culture are essential in the life of a patient, no matter the specialty. You will discover it even more in the field of Psychiatry and you will have to understand the way one grew up, their habits, their religions. These challenges will surface constantly and you will have to be vigilant. This specialty is dealing with the mind, and the mood, conceptions in different behaviors, will need to take in consideration to understand certain aspects of the pathologies, but at the end, you will have alone to face these challenges. Perceptions and emotions will master your world while modern psychiatry will force you to look for the mind and body connection. You will need to avoid stress and physical illnesses, Carolyn Coles MD
to deal with behavior changes. At the end, you will learn on the different medications in the field of your choice.
Faith and Cultures are strangely connected to each other and linked to religions. I wrote a lot about the search for God in the Newletter of the association (AMHE). I may have found answer that can only suit me but disparity in this country where we live can change different aspects of a life.
Welcome to the Medical World.
Dad.
