Kreyol

Se avèk anpil tristès, men ak rekonesans pou lavi li, nou anonse lanmò lanmou nou, poto fanmi nou, matriyak nou, Jocelie Mathurin, ke tout moun te rele ak anpil afeksyon " Jose." Li te fèt 24 avril 1929 epi li kite nou 16 jen 2025, apre li te viv yon lavi ekstraòdinè, chaje ak lanmou, devouman, ak sèvis pou fanmi li ak kominote li.

Eritaj Fanmi

Jose te pitit Clemence Lexine (manman) ak Alfrezin Mathurin (papa). Li te frè ak sè Malthide Mathurin, Adelina Mathurin, ak Vincent Mathurin, ki tout deja pati.

Yon Lavi Lanmou ak Sèvis

Pandan tout lavi long li a, Jose te yon modèl konpasyon, bon kè, ak detèminasyon. Li te toujou akeyi ak lanmou tout moun ki vin jwenn li, kèlkeswa sikonstans lan. Kay li te yon refij; kè li te louvri pou tout moun.

Li te viv kòm poto mitan fanmi an, youn ki te toujou mete byennèt lòt moun an premye. Jose te jwenn lajwa nan kontantman lòt moun epi li te yon fanm lapriyè, lafwa, ak mizik. Vwa li te leve ak lespwa lè li te chante nan legliz, epi prezans li te pote chalè kote li pase.

Erè li kite pa sèlman nan pitit li, pitit pitit li, ak fanmi li, men nan kè tout moun ki te gen privilèj pou yo rankontre li.
