Death of Boniface Alexandre : messages

Wilson Jeudy, Mayor of Delmas :

"There is something stronger than death, it is the presence of the absent in the memory of the living. It is with a downcast spirit that the municipality of Delmas learned the sad news of the impromptu departure of Me Boniface Alexandre, former President of the Republic of Haiti. It is a huge loss for the Haitian community in general and for the Haitian legal and political world in particular. Faced with this priceless loss, Mayor Wilson Jeudy, on behalf of the town hall and on behalf of all the citizens of Delmas, sends his sympathies to the family members and relatives of Me Alexandre, affected by this mourning. Icons don't die, they simply pass into the next room and stay alive through their works."
