In a Sympathy Note dated May 24, 2016 the Consulate General of Haiti in Montreal "in this painful circumstance, deplores the death (of natural causes), of our compatriot Cicilia Laurent, occurred Monday, May 23, 2016 in Montreal at the age of 120 years."

"[...] The 'Chef de poste' a.i. Garline Paul Sanon joins members of the Consular Mission to offer her condolences to the families and relatives of the deceased worshiped affected by this loss. Mrs. Laurent was an exceptional figure and a source of wonder, who has kept her clairvoyance until the last moment.

In this circumstance, the Mission took the opportunity to associate themselves with the pain of the community and all those who had the privilege to know this great lady during her long life."
