I am sorry to hear the news. Losing a parent is like 40 needles hitting into your heart at the same time. In time each heals, except the last one. That last one never heals, leaves its mark for your lifetime and hurts most when you find yourself reaching to the phone to tell your parent a good news.
may heavens be Ms. Bertrand’s new residence.
So Sorry for Angie and her family’s loss :(
RIP Marcheline. My prayers to Ange & James.
OMG that’s so sad. All my condolences to her and her family!!!!
All my condolences to Angelina and her family, my thought and preyers are with them.
She looks so much like her mother in that pic. My prayers go out to Angie’s WHOLE family!
RIP Marchaline!
I am so sorry to hear. God bless Angie.
OMG!!I feel soo sorry for Angie and her brother. My condolences to her and her family!
As genuinely sad as I am at this time, I’m also comforted in the belief that Marcheline was blessed to see Angelina battle her demons and claim victory over them. There’s a part of me that’s convinced Marcheline finally let go knowing her daughter had found purpose and peace and was going to be alright.
God bless them all

My thoughts and prayers go out to Angelina Jolie, her brother and other family members. May God be with her in her time of need. May she be surrounded with the love of Brad Pitt, her children and friends during this difficult time. Angelina Jolie is a good and strong woman and has seen the best and worst of mankind during her UN Work. She has grown to be a strong and caring woman. May God bless Angelina with the love and memory of her devoted mother. Rest in peace Marcheline Bertrand.

God, I am so sad to hear this. I’ve read so many interviews, and she has always spoke so highly of her mother, I can only imagine the hurt and the heartbreak that she is feeling.
I am sorry to hear the sad news. My prayers are with the family. God bless.
My condolances to AJ and her family. I pray God gives them the fortitude to get through this.
I hope some people will have enough sense to respect what this thread stands for.

God bless Angie Brad James and the kids. Marcheline may rest in peace.
I’m so glad that she was able to be with her grandkids although it was for a while. I’m sure that she left this world happy and fulfilled with her daughter’s happiness.
I just hope this time they will eventually give them the privacy they should have in this difficult time in their life.
Angie has been through a lot of pain herself and she have experienced the suffering of other people who lost their families and they are disadvantaged and they are struggling to survive with her own eyes. She knows how it is. Also Brad’s and James’s love and the love for her children will be a great help during these moments of sorrow. I’m positive that she will eventually rise above it like she is doing with every bad turn in her life. Her mother will always have a special place in her heart and she will never be forgotten. She will always live in her memory.
More power and love to them all!!
Oh, I am sooo sad to hear this news. Angelina was just so close to her mother. Marcheline put up a long tough fight. My prayers go out to all the family. Cancer is just so stealth like, you can be seemingly OK and recovering one day and dead the next day. RIP Marcheline.
I was shocked to read that Marcheline had died.My heart goes out to Angelina and her family.May God bless Angelina’s whole family.
Thanks Jared for the new thread, very much appreciated.
OMG I am so sorry to hear about Angie’s mom. Oh this is so sad. My heart goes out to Angie and our family, may God give her and her family the strength to go get through this difficult time.

Angelina Jolie’s mother dies of cancer
LOS ANGELES – Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, has died of cancer, her daughter said Sunday.
Bertrand died Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Jolie said in a news release. No age was provided.
Jolie, her older brother, James Haven, and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, were at the hospital Saturday, according to the news release.
Bertrand, who had small roles in the movies “Lookin’ to Get Out” in 1982 and “The Man Who Loved Women” in 1983, raised Jolie and her brother after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.
A private funeral was planned.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
http://www.csms.edu/2044.html
Condolence to Angie, Brad, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and James. May God give them comfort and strength in this time of sorrow. May Marcheline’s soul rest in peace
I cannot imagine the pain of losing a mother, mine has been around for the longest time until i dont even remember how old is she now. God Bless Angie and her family, hope they can get through this. I’m sorry Shiloh and Zahara probably won’t be able to remember their maternal grandmother, Hopefully Maddox would be able to remember the time he spent with Marcheline.
Rest in peace Marcheline, your family loved you very much.
My condolences to the family.
It is never easy to lose a loved one! my condolences and deepest thoughts of sympathy be with them and family!
All my support and prayers for angie and her family..

I totally agree with your suggestion briseis
My heart broke when I heard The News
My wishes go to Jolie family
Angie:
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. Hope you’ll find strength and peace in your special memories.
****, that’s scary. My mum’s 55 in April.
I pray that Marcheline is in peace in heaven now.
God, help our Angie and her family.
My condolences to Angie and Brad.
The only good thing I can see in this situation is that she has Brad and her babies to help her through this. I am not sure of her relationship with Brad’s family, but I am sure they with circle her and help her through this.
I am so sad for her, it’s like I lost my own mother.
I watched the E news hosted by Ryan Seacrest last night(Sat) and his last comments were something like…it’s SAG Sunday night, time to talk to celebrities and he added about asking them what they had for breakfast..and the stupid Guiliana added a little smirk(like..hint hint)..Oh…THOSE TWO ARE JUST VILE and THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES ESP. WHILE THEY WERE TALKING AND SMIRKING, ANGIE AND HER FAMILY WERE DEALING WITH THEIR MOM’S DEATH..SHAME ON THEM. I think Ryan/Guiliana are fakes and both just wants to ride on other people’s popularity bandwagons. I won’t watch E news ever. Maybe I’ll watch the 30 minutes segment that follows that since those girls there are more tolerable.
My deepest sympathy to Angie and family.
My heart is breaking for Angie.
Angie, James, Brad and the children are in my thoughts and prayers.
My Condolences to Angie, James and all their love ones.
God Bless

I am still thinking about Marcheline’s death. Yup, cancer is very unpredictable sometimes. My Dad suffered 4 years of cancer & there are times he was so uplifted you think he is not suffering from any ailment then suddenly he succumb. Now we know why…he stayed there long enough because he is waiting for my sister & his grandchildren to arrive here in Canada. After their arrival he got so much energy & after a month he died. I think Marcheline waited 7 years so she can guide Angie to a better future. Now she knows our Angie is in good hands of Brad & happy & after seeing the kids she finally realize her fight to see the betterment of her children is finally here so it’s time for her to go. Such a strong & loving mother. My thoughts & prayers to Ange & james.
Lmaoo. I knew [E] would mention it. And will be talking about it throughout the whole [Live From The red Carpet]
To show respect to Marcheline on this day, please do not respond to any negative post. Please.
To show respect to Marcheline on this day, please do not respond to any negative post. Please.
When I read that she was just 56, the saddest memory of my life hit me again, I lost my father to cancer and he was only 53. He fought it for 6 years.
I can imagine what she and her brother are going through right now; it doesn’t matter how old you are when your parent passes away, you just feel like a little bird with a broken wing. You think that you won’t able to fly again, never high sky because you don’t feel safe enough without a parent.
Rest in peace Marcheline in heaven, rest in peace. I am sure that her two children will cherish the memories of her in the rest of their lives and keep her alive.
Angie has her own children to be hugged by. Nobody can replace a parent but now she is luckily a parent.
I am lost in my thoughts.
God bless them.
Let us that know keep this thread about Angie, her Mother, and family.
My deepest Sympathy to Angie and family and may God Bless her with the strenght to get through this sad moment in her life.

I agree. Lets let Jared handle the haters .
Thought I’d post what Marcheline said when Shiloh was born.
“My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina’s third child,” Bertrand tells PEOPLE., “Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way.”

I wish to express my deepest condolences and sadness at the passing of Marcheline. I salute her for being a great parent and a hero to Angie and James.
…sending my prayers to the family at this complicated time.
RIP Marcheline.
My condolences to the Jolie- Pitt family and to James. This is so sad. It is hard to loose someone you loved dearly. RIP Marcheline.
I hope posters heed Alexanderina’s & tabitha’s suggestions, and if I may add one of my own, could the names of those who don’t factor into this sad turn of events also be left at the door of this thread, and I think it can be clearly figured out who I’m speaking of. This is only a request/suggestion.

my heart goes to angelina and her family.am just glad that she’s got brad to help her to get through this saddest phase of her aj’s life.and to those haters that will leave any vile messages in this thread,may all your souls rotten in hell
My condolences to Angelina and James, very sad news.
I am soo shocked and saddened to hear this news. I feel so horrible for Angie and her brother, James. I know Angelina was so close to her mother, and I don’t even want to imagine what she is going through right now. My best wishes to her and her family. I hope she gets through this very difficult time knowing that her mom will always be with her in her heart. Stay strong for the kids, Angie!! You have a wonderful family who loves and supports you, and with them you’ll get through this!
~~Again, best wishes to Angie, James, and their whole family~~ :(
I am all for ignoring the Haters today. Let’s take it a step further though and ignore them ALWAYS! If we don’t respond, which is what they(actually it is the Chin) want, then they(Chin) will eventually give up.
Condolences to Angelina & James. My prayers to you & your family. I am so sad right now.
It’s saddest news ever to hear since I became to one of Angelina’s fans. Hope God give Angie strength to get through the toughest time of her life. I can’t imagine loosing a parent when the children of mine are still young. Hope Brad give her strongest support. I believe that’ll make them even stronger and bond them tighter. Wish the press can leave the family alone this time around.
Angie, Brad, James, Maddox, Zee, Shiloh, you have my deepest sympathy at this time of sorrow. May God be with you at this time and comfort you. Just know that your fans are thinking of you at this time.
I am saddened by this news, I know that it is never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one, no matter how much advance warning you may have. I am glad Angie has such a wonderful support in Brad. He will surround her with his love and help her through it. I am glad he and the children are in her life. This is another life even that will draw them closer together.
Angelina, May God be with you and your family at this time of sorrow.
God bless.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THE NEWS OF ANGE’S MOM PASSING. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE JOLIE-PITT FAMILY. THANK GOD ANGE IS NOT ALONE THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS.
Her mother was gorgeous! I always thought Angie looked more like her dad, but I guess I was wrong.
So sad to hear the news. God bless Angie and James at this time.
Thankfulyy Angie and James have the Family She and Brad created

Thanks ntt, they look so much alike. I am still in shock, so sad
Tosusie, you’ve made a mistake, Susie is a BAMZSfan.
I’m still in shock. Cancer is a beast, one of my friends died in cancer recently, and for a long time it seemed that she was getting better. She died so suddenly.
I hope Ryan Seacrest and the other idiots in the entertainment media feel ashamed. If they are capable of it.
I believe that the people who do hate the Jolie-Pitts will not celebrate the death of a parent.
No, I don’t think that they would do that! Not that!
My condolences to Angelina and her family. Since I’ve recently lost my mother from cancer and since I was close to her too & tried my best to please her, I believe I can say that Angelina has done ALL things possible (and even more) to make her mother proud of her and leave this world in peace. Angelina has to make sure she will continue to live up to the standards her mother (and surely herself too) wished for her, providing she keeps being happy. Only that way B. will remain alive.
p.s. eat a little…you’ll still look fine!
I have been visiting this site for the last several weeks and I have found it very entertaining. I have grown into a big fan of both Angelina and Brad. I respect them for what they stand for and for the fact that they act on their convictions and do not just play the media game. I am posting today because I want to join with all decent people who wish Angelina strenght and peace in this her time of loss. I am thankful that she is with Brad and has her own family who I am sure will help to sustain her. I believe that God puts us in certain situations to prepare us for what will come. I agree with a previous poster who feels that Angelina’s experience with the UN will assist her in getting through this difficult time.
kiki, thank you . I still have no idea what post was misinterpreted.

My condolences to you and everyone else who has lost a loved one to cancer.
My mother’s friend, whom I knew well, also recently died from the illness :(
Ya know, I think all the BAMZS fans wanted a new thread, but I’d rather not have one than have one like this :(
I really feel for Angie and Jame for what they must be going through now, as I am remebering the most awful time when I lost my dearest, precious mum.
Original jpf….thank you for posting that comment from Marcheline re Shiloh’s birth. That was so beautiful.
I cannot help tearing up over this heartbreaking news, although I’m sure Marcheline must have been at peace to know that her daughter was in a loving relationship, and was able to be at her side at the end. My thoughts and prayers surround them.
Keep the love comming BAMZSers!! Ingore the hate completely.
Lets all show our deepest support for this family that needs it more than any time before. And lets make lots of donations to the hospital.
May all our strength love and campassion will pass to them!!
God bless them!!
My condolences to Angie and her entire family. It’s very sad. I’m glad that she has Brad and James there to help her through her grief.
Going through this will definitely strengthen Angie and Brad’s bond…Prayers for their families.
Thanks Lily. I think many of us has a relative or a friend whom we lost to cancer. This is one of the worst diseases. It must be some belated shock, I’m crying now.
Oh, I am so saddened by this news. I was so hoping that Marcheline would beat the it. This is just so sad. My heart and prayers are with Angie, James, Brad and the children, and all those who loved Marcheline.
Oh, Angie.
It is hard to comprehend such a loss, especially when you’ve had such a cohesive relationship. I, too, lost my mother when she was just 55. To date, it has been and probably will always be, my life’s biggest loss.
With your strength of character and love for the world, the world mourns with you. May you find peace and strength in the love that you have for your children, in your loving and supportive partner, and in your brother James.
Here’s to celebrating your life, Marcheline, and your contribution to this world in the form of your children. Rest in peace.

I’m not going to get into it because 1) it’s not the right time 2) possibly, I may have projected something into it that was completely off-base and 3) I realize that I may have tracked b^ll$h*t onto this thread.
I am truly sorry for that.
I have to say that when I heard about Marcheline, my stomach throbbed. It brought back my father’s death from cancer, twelve years ago on February 7th. Despite my living with my mom during my childhood, I felt more for my dad. I’m a daddy’s girl, through and through.
Bless BAMZS. Bless James. Bless all Marcheline Bertrand friends and family.
I am so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to Angie and her family.
I know what she must be feeling right now.
My deepest condolences to Angelina, James, Brad, Maddox, Zarahar and Shiloh. Thoughts and prayers are with them all during this difficult time.
On a brighter note, Marcheline can rest in peace having seen that her beloved daughter, Angie has grown into a wonderful mother. She got to know Brad in the last two years and has every faith that he is a good and strong partner for her daughter and a terrific dad to her grandchildren.
I sincerely hope that the tabloids and other medias have the common decency to let this family mourn in peace! God bless them all!
I’m still in shock, I honestly don’t know what to say. I’m glad AJ has BP….he is now her rock.
I support the idea that we ignore the crazy posts.

~ At a time of loss the love and comfort of family is the best
medicine….thank God that is something Angie has in her life. ~ LOL
that is very sad she loves her mother so much very sad for the family
Angie, and her family will always be in my prayers.
all my prayers go to Angelina and her family
God bless them
my condolences
Cancer is really dreadful i have a cousin(just 4), is going through it right now and it pains me to my deepest bone his pain and tears have been so painful to watch sometimes i actually wish i could share his pain .He is just so little and so lovely i call him my litle wonder, I pray ANGIE will find the strength to hold on and everyone around her would remain strong for her and her brother, i lost my dad when i was nine and although i was not close to him i still miss him a whole lot , my mom i just cannot imagine she is my world.
Rest in peace and as i say earth’s loss is heaven’s gain.Marcheline
I, too, am sorry to hear of Ms. Jolie’s loss. My Mom has ovarian cancer, too, and I’ve become an advocate for the Awareness and Education of Ovarian Cancer. This past September, I lobbied on Capitol Hill for the passing of the Johanna’s Law which will allocate $16.5 million towards such a cause. We, NOCC & OCNA, need people such as Ms. Jolie to jump on board with us and let our VOICES BE HEARD. Ovarian Cancer is a SILENT KILLER. Please don’t allow any more “Moms” to die in vain.
Rest in peace, Ms. Bertrand

I take comfort into knowing that she will be OK. She has grown so much in the past few years, Brad’s love an her children will carry her in those difficult days ahead.
To James, My condolences to you too.
This is very sad. God Bless Marcheline. My prayers are with Angie and James
at this time. I am Glad that Angie and James have a Family created in love

THATS SO SAD!!

I’m very shocked.
Thank you, those who gave links for donating money. I am going to donate in Marcheline’s name. Angie needs to know that her fans care.

I’m still in shock, I honestly don’t know what to say. I’m glad AJ has BP….he is now her rock.
I support the idea that we ignore the crazy posts.
=====================================================
I know AG, same here with me and I don’t know what to say or do. And I am so glad that she have Brad to be there for her and to lean on in this difficult time. He is definitely her rock
R.I.P., Marcheline. Cancer is a teribble thing. My grandmother had it, and it was a painful few years that she struggled with it, so at least now Ms. Bertrand will be free of the pain. She lived long enough to enjoy her three grandchildren, and that’s what matters.
I just also want to add that this must have come on so suddenly, for I recall last week, Weds. perhaps, there was that photo of her smiling in New Orleans picking up Maddox from school.
So suddenly it appears, it turned..
Blessings, blessings, blessings to all.
This is just so sad.
I am so glad Angelina has James, Brad and the kids.
I was so sorry to hear this news. My God Bless and give James, Angie and her family strength and peace during these difficult times. Rest in peace Marchelline, Rest in Peace.
I am sorry to hear this sad news.
May her soul rest in peace.
It is so great to have this board to go to, during these times and to post and to read everyone else’s posts..I too am grateful for all the loving expressed.
Another thought I had, is I recall recently someone interviewing Angie and asking her if she knew how beautiful she was, and her response was something to the effect of, well I look like my mother, so that makes me glad..Something like that.
Does anyone recall this interview? It was recently and possibly an oversees publication.
What a wonderful mom Angie always made Marcheline out to be….thankfully she is out of pain and has passed with the knowledge that her daughter has found happiness and fulfillment at last…perhaps a reconciliation of sorts with Jon Voight will occur, and they can live peacefully. I am no fan of JV, but perhaps now he will meet Zee and Shi and Mad, and broken hearts can be mended all around. May Marcheline’s death bring about healing for the whole family.
Alexanderina….ITA and I am glad as well that Angie has Brad to help her
through this sad time. I know what it is like to loose your mother. I know the pain
she must be feeling.
My heart is broken.Marceline Bertrand was a wonderful mother and a very special lady.May she rest in peace.My heart goes out to Angelina and her family because i know how it feels to lose someone you love.Marceline was only 56,but at least she left knowing that her daughter has found true love and meaning in her life.That must have been a comfort in her last moments.She will be in my prayers tonight.
All of us,Angie’s fans,will always remember her as the woman who raised this wonderful human being,Angelina.

Rest in Peace Marcheline. You did a wonderful job with raising big hearted kids, even though you did it alone.
The survival of refugees has taught our Angie alot. She has shared their plan, been in awe of their survival, and dedicated to their cause. Because of this, she will get through. Her mama has been sick for a long time and am sure their were aware that it would be soon. In the midst of all of this, Angie has not stopped the kind hearted woman, trying to help others. She loved her mama soooo much, but right now, she is celebrating the woman that her mama was. A wonderful soul indeed coz she bore and raised wonderful kids. May she rest in peace
And this shows me that all we argue and fight about is worthless life changing things are happening everyday, and this should be not only the time to mourn wit
Angie and her family but also a time to say what the hell am i argiuing over life is so short i will make a difference which would last forever, abuses don’t and criticisms surely don’t.
This is so sad, so very sad. She was way too young. I’m sorry for Angie and hope that at least she has the comfort of Brad and her children.

You sure made a good point.
My condolences to Angie n James. May they find the strength and courage in the beautiful and brave fight their mother has shown through all her struggle. I am simply glad that she has seen Shiloh very she rested in peace. she would surely be missed especially by the succeeding children to come. cancer has claimed so much lives but it has created so much bravery in women.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Angelina, James and their family at this difficult time.
There are really no words that can make this better.
Much love is being sent your way.
I really feel for Maddox. I was around Maddox age when one of my brother died of Leukemia. It was the first time I experienced death to someone so close. Shiloh is too young to even know what is going on. Zahara is still young herself so I’m not sure, but Maddos is 5 1/2 so he probably feels more of a loss than his siblings do.
poor angie. sucks that the babies have lost a grandma, and of course that angie has lost someone so close to her. :( maybe this will lighten up the angie backlash. one can hope
Those four pics of Angie at the art gallery this past Friday look like she was getting a bad phone call :( It makes me so sad to see Ang like that :(
Oh my God! So young. So sad. This is terrible news. My prayers to the family.
Iam so sad for Angie…
But i know that she is very loved right now. This will help her…

My heart goes out to Angelina and her family. I can’t imagine what she is going through right now. I agree with you and I am so sad to hear the news. I lost my mother to ovarian cancer last year. She said that she would be ready for heaven after my wedding. She died less than a month after our wedding. She fought for over 2 years and died at the age of 62. I’m the youngest of 3 girls and very close to my mother. I miss her everyday, but I know that she is in a better place…there is no more suffering. My prayer goes out to Angelina and her family. May Angelina and family find peace and comfort they need during this tough period. God bless you Angelina and your whole family!
I am crying right now, because I am remembering the loss of my precious mama. I know what Angie and James are going through right now. I’ve been there. You live with a broken heart, forever.
My heart and prayers go out to Angie, James, Brad, the children, and others who loved her. Rest in peace, Marcheline.
My sympathy and prayers to Angelina,Brad their beautiful children and James, even though she has been ill for quite some time, still the death of your mother is hard and difficult either way. So happy Ms. Bertrand was able to enjoy her grandchildren especially shiloh, I feel she is at peace knowing her daughter has found happiness and joy especially since her childhood was admittedly troubled at times. Angelina loved and adored her mother and for this she will be blessed. I pray she and her father Jon Voight will be able to reconcile. God bless this family.

I am so sorry about your loss as well, may your mom rest in peace. I still have my mom and I don’t know what I would do if I loss her
This is very sad news. I almost feel like a member of my family has passed. I really idolize and love everything that Angie stands for. She is real special. My deepest condolences and upmost sympathy to Angie, James, Brad, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh. The children will not get to know their grandmother. I hope Angie keeps her memory alive for them, which I’m sure she will. I hope Brad is there for Angie in her time of mourning and need. We all know how independent she is, so I hope she takes comfort from her family as much as she can. Marcheline was a beautiful woman. She had to be! Look at Angie! God bless them all and may Marcheline rest in peace!
My heart goes out to Angie, James, Brad and the kids. 7 1/2 years is a long battle, and she seemed to fight with dignity and grace. Thankfully she lived long enough to see her daughter happy, loved, have a family, a good man and find her place in this world. That really had to give peace. RIP Marcheline, you and your family are in my prayers
My condolences to her family
This is so heartbreaking. The tears keep coming even though I had never met the woman. I am happy she lived long enough to see her daughter become a citizen of the world, and to also see her grandchildren, Angie having found peace in her life would also have been a comfort for her.
My thoughts and prayers to Angie, James and their whole extended family.
Well, we all gathered here with joy last May after Shiloh is born, and it’s nice there is a place to come to for this sad news. At least Marcheline saw her beautiful grandchildren. She raised Angelina very well.
All the magazines, new york post columnist, blogs, entertainment shows etc etc who initiated and participated in the angelina backlash of past should be ashamed! Your vulture attitude, for the latest scoop - as only shown you all for the shallow cretans that you are. Angelina should be grateful for having a job, she hates hollywood, blah, blah, blah - and all the time the woman instead was having to fight a momentous battle of her own, on the brink of her losing her support system, her life-line and the one person who has been with her from the first breath she took - and all Ryan Seacrest could B**** about was that she supposedly was not effusive enough to his comments?????! I would ask you if you are ashmaed, but the truth is you are probably so far gone is your own self glorification that you probably dont even know what it feels like to be human.
My heart goes out to James and all the Jolie-Pitts. I am warmed by the fact that she got to know her first three grandchildren. These losses are devastating; a hole is left in the grown child’s life (unfortunately, I have reason to know that particular pain). May those who loved Marcheline comfort one another in honor, love, and memory.
My condolences to Angie and her family. I feel like she’s one of my relatives, I don’t even know her, I’m so sad for Angie…I really am… =(
This is devastating news. Condolences to the entire family. Marcheline was far too young to leave this earth but lived long enough to see Angelina happy and with her own family. The spirit of Marcheline lives on in Angelina. RIP. My prayers are with this family.
My deepest condolences go to Angie, James, Brad and children at this time. May the Lord console and streghthen all of you at this difficult time. May the Lord grant you peace.
I too am saddened to read this news. My own mother is still alive, so I can only imagine the pain one must feel. Many of you have beautifully expressed your condolences and sympathies, which I am sure Marcheline’s family would be comforted by. Isn’t it a miracle they were able to be together for her.
God bless them all.
My sincere and deepest condolences to Angie and family.
I do think Marcheline was happy to see Angie with her great family and in peace.
My heart felt apologies to Angie, James and the entire Jolie-Pitt family. I hope Angie finds comfort in the fact that her mom is no longer in pain. Angie is one of the strongest women in Hollywood and she will be fine with Brad by her side.
I am truly sadden by the news of Marcheline’s death. May God bless her soul.

I, too, am sorry to hear of Ms. Jolie’s loss. My Mom has ovarian cancer, too, and I’ve become an advocate for the Awareness and Education of Ovarian Cancer. This past September, I lobbied on Capitol Hill for the passing of the Johanna’s Law which will allocate $16.5 million towards such a cause. We, NOCC & OCNA, need people such as Ms. Jolie to jump on board with us and let our VOICES BE HEARD. Ovarian Cancer is a SILENT KILLER. Please don’t allow any more “Moms” to die in vain.
*********************
When you get a chance I would love to learn more about your efforts to pass Johanna’s Law. I’m sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear about AJ’s mom. AJ thought so highly of her mother that it must she must be devastated. However, AJ is a strong woman who has the love of her family. Let’s all pray for them at this time of grief. God bless each and everyone of them.
Those ******** at E! Owe her a damn apalogy…….I’m making a vid right now..for angie and her mom..i’m so sad :(
God bless that woman’s heart for all she went throgh
BTW i never seen thse pics oa gnie and her mum in the airport
My condolences to the family, at least she got to see that Angelina was building a life with the children and Brad. She was so young to die.
my heart stopped for a second when i read this headline. this must be devastating for her. all i can think is…my god i’m so sorry
May God bless You and Your Lovely Family Angelina and keep you all in his sights as you work through this difficult time.
May you take refuge and comfort in the arms of the ones who love you.
so sadden by her mother’s death. the thing with death is it is so final. there are no do overs. after losing my father to cancer in august things you didn’t say and wish you had take over. during the midst of everything i remained calm, but everythng hit me that he was gone two weeks later after his burial. I realized he was gone, but i also realized he was in a better place. A place where there is no suffering.
Thanks Jared for editing the hateful posts. I commend the BAMZS fans for mourning the death of Angie’s beloved mother and for respecting Angie’s mom passing. I am sorry for answering that hateful post. I just cannot control myself. I will offer a prayer for Angie’s mom. I am a catholic like her and we believe in the second life and the rewards of heaven.
I agree that E! and Ryan Douchebag S. should send an ENORMOUS donation in Marcheline’s name to the charity mentioned. In fact, let’s e-mail them tell them to do so.
to preggy - another poster who couldn’t clean up her mouth before posting. Name calling and vile language are not welcome on this thread. Ranters keep your thoughts to yourself.

My thoughts and prayers for Angie and her family.
The downward spiral to hell has begun because a few people seem to think that the rest of us are interested in their phoney anger. We don’t want to here the garbage - this is a thread for mourning and condolenses.
Thank you Jared for the posting the sad news. My deepest condolences to Angie, Brad, James and all their families! My prayers shall be with Marcheline. May God bless them all at this time!
if you are not an angelina jolie fan or hate her for some stupid reason then do not post in this thread.this is a sad time for angie and we want to send her our support and love.you cant write anymore disgustting things as she is going through this hard time.your bad comments are unecxeptabul and i will ignore them anyways my heart and prayers are with angie and her family and i hope shes coping well at this hard time she is going through.
Hey everybody- How are you guys?I read all of the post and I feel your sadness.
I hope that you guys can lift your spirits and feel better. My sincerest wish is for the family to make it through the tough days and nights ahead. I am so very glad that Angie and her brother have Mr. Brad Pitt in their lives. We know what he is for ~Angie. I believe he is like a brother to James. I know that Ms. bertrand was a beautiful lady inside and out. Her daughter Angie is a testament to that. I am thankful that God chose Brad pitts arms to comfort Angie,he is a gentle ,tender,thoughtful man. I hope that Maddox is okay,he is old enough ,I think to know what’s happening. God willing Angie’s strength and the love of Brad and her beautiful children with lift her spirits and help her celebrate the life of her mother. Losing your mom is so very sad and hard.
I wish her well~
God bless all of them.
Peace~
I just heard the news about Angie’s mom and I decided to come here because some of the other websites are just sick with the things they say. My condolences go out to Angie and her brother! Atleast her mom died knowing that her children especially Angelina have finally found happiness!
There is absolutely nothing phony about being angry that Angelina got dragged through the dirt by every magazine and celebrity news show about her supposed bitchiness and coolness when her mother was days away from dying. She’s too discreet to blab her traumas to the world–unlike others we know–and for all we know she could have gotten some bad news moments before she got on the red carpet. Who knows. I admire her a great deal and I hated seeing her badmouthed.
The media & tabs don’t think these people actually have real lives. And to think that one tabloid woman actually went on tv to say that the reason Angelina was a little upset was because………UGH! Never mind.
RIP Marcheline Bertrand. Prayers for James Haven and BAMZS.
I know how it feels … just lost my mother to the same cancer two and half years ago. My heart goes out to her and the family members … and yes, the heart does go on…
all the nasty people who participated in the angelina bashing the last few weeks should be ashamed
i am very sad for her whole family specialy after the way angelina has been treated by those evil people
My deepest condonlences go out to Angelina, Brad, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and James Haven. May God Bless them all!
I was having trouble getting on JJ earlier this afternoon, so I first saw the news on PITNB and couldn’t find confirmation anywhere else (then when I did, I was sorry). I am SO glad to be able to come here, see all the familiar names and know that this is a place where positive energy, support, and appropriate sentiments of condolence can be expressed.
All positive waves to the family. I hope James will stick close to his sister, and that he has the kind of support in his life that AJ does with Brad and the children and a world full of fans.
my deepest symphaty to to bereaved family. May they find strength and courage to face this sad day in their lives. Godbless them.
RIP marcheline
This is neither the time or place - keep it to yourself.
Having a mother who is ill and going on to live her life like the way Angie did is very admirable! I don’t think I would be strong like her to carry on. My mother is my best friend, second to my husband, so I don’t know what I would do. I am sure that I would be crying most of the time! I will pray for Marcheline’s soul. May she rest in peace.

What are you, a grade school nun? I’ll post what I please, thank you. I also think her mother’s illness was behind Angie’s weight loss.
I FOUND THIS ARTICLE, MAYBE SOME OF YOU HAVE READ IT ALREADY BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T ITS ABOUT ANGELINA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MUM.
She’s never been “America’s Sweetheart.” Nor “The Girl Next Door.” America’s sweetheart doesn’t have tattoos. The girl next door doesn’t carry around vials of Billy Bob’s blood.
No, let Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan play those dull roles, ready-made for Oprah audiences.
Angelina Jolie is an original, despite being morphed into “Brangelina” of late. While the “Pretty Woman” and the cuddly Cupie Doll of yore have been in arrested development, Jolie, now 31, has evolved with each year.
From 2000’s “Girl, Interrupted” - in which she nabbed an Oscar at the age of 25 for her moving performance as a drug-addled teen - to her latest role as mother and U.N. ambassador (and yes, the girlfriend of Brad Pitt) - Jolie has grown from a wild Goth provocateur to a woman of the world and expectant mother.
But as the pictures on these pages show, she was once a big-eyed, sweet-faced teenager with a past that has seldom been reported on - until now.
These intimate snapshots come courtesy of Allan Mezo, a former boyfriend of Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, a French actress who is currently battling cancer. Jolie has repeatedly called her 55-year-old mother - as ravishing as Angelina in her heyday - “her best friend.”
Mezo, 61, a merchandise broker, dated Marcheline and helped raise Angelina - or “Angie,” as he calls her - shortly after Marcheline split from Jon Voight. They divorced in 1978. Angelina and her father seldom speak.
No matter. Through her paternal troubles, her eccentric marriage in 1999 to Billy Bob Thornton, her trysts with women, and her controversial onstage kiss with brother, James Haven Voight, Jolie was just fine. At least she is now.
According to Mezo, her mother can take credit for that. She sent him these pictures, shot over a holiday in 1983, to let him know that the young Angelina and Jamie were growing up healthily enough.
Marcheline sent him the snapshots “out of the blue” 10 years after their breakup, Mezo says.
“Angelina is 13!” she writes in the accompanying letter obtained by Page Six. “She is studying to be an actress and a playwright . . . My children have grown up quite splendidly. Jamie is 15 and aspiring toward a career in film marketing and distribution. He also loves basketball!”
Mezo says that Jolie’s mom set her on the path to caring for the less fortunate.
“She was so kind, so caring, so generous - she was honestly like an angel,” he says. “Her children meant everything to her. Of all the people I have known in my life, she was easily one of the best. And Angie has got that from her. That is why she does so much work for the U.N. and wants to adopt needy children. I think all the good things you see in Angie, she got from her mother.” Mezo met Marcheline in the late 1970s in New York. It was a passionate affair, and Mezo says he eventually moved in with the family, which was living in Manhattan. When they migrated to Los Angeles, he came with them, acting, he says, as Jolie’s unofficial stepfather.
“I cared for them all so much,” he says. “But we met just at the wrong time. She was still married to Jon Voight. She told me that he had not treated her well, and I think there were other women involved. She found it so painful and it made it hard for her to trust another man.”
In the personal letter, Marcheline expresses sorrow for dropping him. “Perhaps I was just in too much emotional pain back then to appreciate you,” she writes. “The truth is, I never would have made it through that difficult time without you.”
Mezo responded to the letter, but he never heard from Marcheline again. “I want her to know how proud I am of her for how Angie appears to have turned out,” he says.
We’ll second that.
If you’re angry, please channel your anger into something positive. Donate to Cedar Sinai or write to Congress or your government officials on behalf of Cancer research or on behalf of Darfur or the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina.
RIP Ms. Bertrand. May the good Lord keep you.
Condolences to Angie, James, Brad and the rest of the family.
I join with people who wish to use this period to appeal to the media, tabloids and entertainment industry to stop unnecessary hatred and lies against Angelina. She goes through what everyone of us goes through. Enough is enough. May God bless Angie for all the contributions she has made to make this world a better place and may she be comforted on all sides at this difficult time.
I am truly sad! Angelina’s mom has been struggling with this illness for the past 7 years, but I feel she finally let let go knowing that beautiful her daughter, Agelina is now in a good place with a man who loves & adores her and with children that fullfills her. I’m sure she’s resting in peace in heaven especially with this knowlege.
I will always love Angelina Jolie for ALL that she stands for regardless of any negative things being said about her. She is a beautiful person inside/out!
Peace, love & harmony to the family in this sad time…….
Que triste, mis condolencias a angelina y su familia, por esta lamentable perdida
OMG !! This is so sad…My prayers to all the family.
Nothing from Jon Voight yet?
I can just see it now, he’ll blow it again by opening his mouth!
My condolences goes out to Angie and her family. RIP Marcheline. It’s so sad. Angie was so close to her mom. My heart goes out to her.
My deepest sympathy to Angelina and James at this vey sad time.
To #203, take you “Ho” comment and shove it up your hairy -ss.
Peace and serenity to Marcheline.
I’m overwhelmed by all the comments for a woman we’ve never met. We’ve all come together to mourn her. Why? Because she is AJ’s Mother…she is somewhat responsible for the woman AJ is today and for that I say “Thank you Mercherline Bertrand and may your soul rest in perfect peace.”
Here’s a quote from AJ about her mom from an article titled WOMAN WARRIOR.
“My mother is very cool. Everyone thinks she’s this French actress because of her name, but she grew up in Chicago and her parents ran a bowling alley. She still eats olives every morning because they remind her of sitting at the bar when she was a baby.”
But if her mother isn’t French, then where did she get a name like Marcheline Bertrand? “She’s Iroquois,” Jolie says proudly. “In fact, my ancestors on her side of the family came from Quebec and I plan to explore my heritage while I’m working there.”
Despite all the highly public attention paid to the dark side of her life, Jolie is able to state that “My mom is proud of me. She’s got a really strong heart and she’s taught me a lot about what it means to be a good person.”

i have come out of lurker mod to send my condolences to the family i was truly shocked to read this so sad
Thank you for the article on “Remembering Marcheline”. I was really shocked and deeply saddened to hear the news of her passing. My heart and prayers go out to the Jolie-Pitt family. Like many of you who have posted earlier, I also believe that Marcheline must be at peace knowing that Angie has matured and is in a loving and stable relationship with Brad and their children.
Like Ntt and Alex said - let us not respond to the haters.
EVERY EACH OF US AS A TIME IN OUR LIFE FOR SADNESS TODAY FOR ANGIE, NEXT TIME FOR US . WHAT KIND OF HEART YOU HAVE (HATERS)?
poor james and Angie. RIP Marcheline.
Please stop acknowledging those here to kick up dust.
Just ignore them.
Don’t bring them up even.
Just have some will power and overlook them.
What good does it do to let them know they have your attention?
None, not any.
Just try ok?
No matter how nasty, stupid, ignorant, hateful, don’t let them turn this into being about them or us.
Have some guts and be the bigger person and just shine them on please!

#214 - good post!!!
i lost my dad at 45.and wer 10 in the family.our youngest was only 4.
sorry didnt mean to sound angry i am not i am sad for angelina i have been a fan for 7 years now
Although sadness seem to overwhelm us,I have to say that I am relieved that she no longer has to suffer. Angies mom had the opportunity to see that her lovely little girl grown up to be an amazing woman, have a family of her own, and to finally have the love of her life beside her. My thoughts and prayers goes out to this courageous family. I agree with everyone by saying, that the best way to express our condolences is by making that donation….~
I am so sad for angie and her family now. I have experienced this situation and there will be times where you will breakdown just with looking at a picture or a towel that this person has given you. People say that things get better after time, but, something always comes up where you want to discuss or get advice from that best friend (mom) and you can not. I feel brad will be her rock because he loves her and will make sure she gets through this.
God Bless.
Be strong Angie & James. Your Mom is in better hands now. I am offering you my deepest sympathy, love, admiration & condolences. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY!

#203 did not say anything negative! What she meant in english was * How sad! My condolences to Angelina and her family, for her loss!”
You know I’m wondering ………. maybe this was on her mind on the
Red Carpet, her mother’s condition, because IMO she was not herself,
not angry, more sad and preoccupied…….
There is so much more to the Jolie/Pitt’s life that the public and fans
know about, we all get bits and pieces like a puzzle and try to put them
together……some for love and admiration…… some for senseless hate.
All and all they do have a private life with private emotions and private
pain that they do not wear on their sleeve…….. i say this to say at the
time of that most [ intelligent question in interview history ] Angie may
have had her mother’s health on her mind, while try to be there for the
man she loves……. LOL
IMO…..Angie is misjudge mainly by the biggest fakes, the least talented,
the self-righteous, and what i call the hate junkies…
Sorry for going on!!! my heart is just so full for Baby Girl today….
Back to lurking……LOL…..Peace
My prayers belong to Angelina, James, Brad & the kids. May all you overcome the sadness that engulf this day. Angelina, you now belong to a loving & cherished family. I am so happy for you.
Angelina & James …I am so so sad for what happened. I offer you my sincerest thoughts & prayers. Love you

I am so sad for Angelina. I know what losing a devoted mama means..
From what we read about her mum, she was a wonderful person, and
beautiful as well. I must admit I cried!
JJ, please put up the picture of Angie and her mum when Angie was a
little girl. Please! That picture speaks volumes.
From my family to Angie’s, lots of love and our prayers.
My condolences to my dear Angelina. I know you will overcome all the trials. I believe in you. All the best & my prayers too.
I cannot believe a hater used my name to write a vile comment on a condolence thread,how SICK!What kind of evil hearts do these people have?Thank you Jared for removing it.
I am here doing my minute-of-silence for the passing of Marcheline. Prayers to you Angie, James & family. Always remember Brad & Angelina…that you have millions of fans & supporters all behind you. I for one will defend you to the end. My condolences….
My condolences. Losing a much loved parent is very difficult.
Condolences to Angie and her family. :(
May Brad and the children be a source of strength and comfort to her during this time of grief.
My heart goes out to Angie, James, Brad and the children for their great loss. Marcheline was admired and respected by everyone who knew her.
The knowledge that her mom was able to spend time with Brad, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh will bring Angie comfort in the future.
I am so very sad when I heard the news of the death of Marcheline. As a matter of fact I got tears on my eyes. Can’t help it. Imagine Marcheline hearing those nastiness people spew towards Angelina right up until her death. You can tell she love her children & grandchildren so much. To Marcheline…I SALUTE YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
My sincere condolences and prayers to Angelina and James.
Deepest sympathy to Angelina & family! Angels like you and your mother are few.
Angelina Jolie’s Mom Dies
SUNDAY JANUARY 28, 2007 07:30 PM EST UPDATED
By Mary Green
Marcheline Bertrand and Angelina Jolie
Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, died on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Jolie said in a statement to the Associated Press.
The 56-year-old Bertrand, who battled cancer for over seven-and-a-half years, was surrounded by her children, Angelina and son James Haven, as well as Jolie’s partner, Brad Pitt.
“Marcheline was beautiful, caring and totally devoted to her children. I never saw her upset or sad, even after she was diagnosed with cancer,” Lea Hunter, who once dated Haven, tells PEOPLE. “She always treated me like a member of her family.”
Bertrand, who had small roles in movies including 1983’s The Man Who Loved Women, raised Jolie and brother Haven by herself after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.
When granddaughter Shiloh was born in May, Bertrand told PEOPLE: “My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina’s third child. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way.”
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20010082,00.html
A private funeral is planned, and the family requests that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
My sincere prayers to Angelina.
Rest in Peace Marcheline, your daughter is all safe & sound with a loving man. Your grandkiddies will be loved no matter what. Not to forget that she got fans that supports her.
Deppest Condolences to Angelina, James & family for their loss. I truly admire Marcheline being there through all the trials & tribulations & distress life brings. Angelina & James are lucky to have her as their Mom.
my prayers to angie,jamie and brad!
Condolence to the Jolie-Pitts. I am sad for the passing of Jolie’s mom. May she rest in peace. My thoughts are with you at this time of your life.
My condolences to Angile and family!
What a sad news…T_T
i hope angelina gets through this…i wonder if she will be sad most of the times now that her mother died.oh wow this is happennig so fast.i hope angie copes well.hope you feel better angel
when i opened my computer this is the first site i went to look for jolie-pitt news. it is so sad to read about this.
But Marcheline, fought a great battle with the C. It’s such a long time battle and losing to it is not a failure but a triumph of faith and courage.
Condolonces to Jolie-Pitt family and to her brother James.
I’ve been to the site many times, but this is my first time posting. I was shocked to hear the news. My heart goes out to Angelina and James. The bond between a mother and her children is one of the strongest bonds there is. My mother is 60 and still doing well. Just the thought of losing her makes my heart ache for Angie and James. I can’t imagine what they are going through. I believe that the love that is being shown on this thread by all of you her true fans); and the comfort I am sure she is getting from Brad and her children will get her through this.
My thoughts and prayers are with their family. Her mother is in a better place now and she will have the best view to see this beautiful, strong woman she raised carry on where she left off in being a wonderful mother to her own children.
My condolences to Angie and the family.
Angie, Brad, Jamie and the children will always be in my prayer.

A sad day indeed. I post once in a while but I’ve been following this family for a while now. I am sure Angie & James are not feeling the love of their family members. They will be strong to face this loss. But their mother is on good hands now.
I too have been to this site numerous times (daily) for updates on AJ, BP & family, but this is the first time I felt compelled to post a message.
I just want to say that I hope Angelina Jolie knows she has many, many fans that is standing behind her through thick and thin…..and especially during this sad time.
I have no words-just tears.
I am so releived that AJ has Brad in her life to support her and that she is not alone during this horrible time.
I’m so sad. tears in my eye when I read the news . Angie was so close to her mother. must be really painful. May Brad and the children be a source of strength and comfort to her during this time of grief.
I give my deepest sympathy to Angie and family.
I am so sad to hear this news.
My condolences to Angie, James and the JP children.
May the Lord give them strength to get through this most difficult time.
thank you mia marie…and welcome!
RIP Marcheline.my heart truly goes out angie,james and and her grandkids.
Very sad…. I am glad Brad was at Angie’s side to comfort her. I wonder if Marcheline was aware of what her daughter has been going through with all the GG stuff. I remember Angie’s interview about “Shark Tale” when she was cast as the bad fish (!), her mother said, “Why, you are the good one!” She had such a strong bond with her mom and I do hope that Brad, who is her family now, is strong enough to take the vacant seat in being her rock. Sounds like he is there for her all the way. It is a comfort to know that Marcheline saw her daughter finally with a stable relationship with a very caring life-partner. At least she was sure her daughter is going to be OK.
So sweet Angelina.. Sorry about her mother passed away .. I understand that Angelina really love mom and close mom for grew up ……….. Sweet Angelina.. very nice of Brad support Angelina as very well .. She need helps .. She have back up Brad be there everything for Angelina……. Promise to Angelina ……. Love Angelina so much ……. she need Brad and kids need hugs her as well .. she good heart.. good personally .. I like her so much because she have good heart and very smart woman …..
It is such a sad time. I had hoped when I saw Angelina on Larry King that her mother had turned the corner on her illness.
God bless James, Angelina, Brad and their family. Her suffering is at an end.
My thoughts turn to Jon Voight. My one heart felt wish is that he should take whatever action would be the most comfort to his children. If he is capable, and if their situation allows, of being a loving, unselfish father and healing the rift between himself and his daughter, then that would be lovely. If he is incapable of being that fir her, then may he have the grace and goodness to stay away and send whatever loving energy he is able to send to both his children and all his grand children.
Marcheline was a beautiful woman. Her internal beauty shined. May she find Bliss and true rest.
My sincere condolence and prayer to Angie and family.
Rest in Peace Marcheline, your daughter is all safe & sound with a loving man and supportive family.
I don’t know what to say—-I can’t stop hurting for all of them……… So, folks who usually lurk, please come on .and show how much we love Angie, Brad, Janie and the grandkids…….. OK, goodnight!
Condolence to Angelina & James. I will pray for Marcheline & her family. Love you Brad & Angelina & will always be supporting you. God Bless

Some people are thinking, wow, her mum is dying and she was in NO and in Vietnam and didn’t spend time with her mum for christmas. I just want to share my own story.
I had a dear friend, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Underwent chemotherapy and appeared to be in remission. 2 years later, after a checkup she found out that she had brain cancer. it was inoperable and chemo was not effective. My friend didn’t tell anyone anything. Not her parents, her siblings or her husband (thankfully, no children). She lived her life, went on holidays. One day she fainted. Was rushed to hospital and pretty much died within a week. Her family were so angry with her but in the end, accepted that that was just the way she had wanted to live out the time she had, not in grieving, not in fear, but as normally as possible.
My aunt was diagnosed with cancer in October 2005. Her family were somewhat far flung. They came to see her but her prognosis was not clear. Perhaps 6 months, perhaps 2 months. What to do? My cousins went back to their families, their jobs, their kids schooling. My aunt didn’t want everything to be put on hold just because. She just didn’t. Perhaps it was because she wanted to be on her own - to come to terms with her impending death. Perhaps she found having her grieving family around her too muchy of a burden for her. She wanted normality. She wanted peace. As it was, she died in less then 2 months. The end was swift. Pneumonia and that was it in a couple of days.
No one can judge why Angelina chose to spend time in NO or in Vietnam in the weeks before Marcheline’s death. Perhaps they were all under the impression that Marcheline was licking the disease. I believe in the US, patient doctor confidentiality means that not even the family are entitled to know the true condition of a patient unless she consents. Perhaps Marcheline didn’t tell them she had only weeks to live. Just recently, Angelina said she thought that her mother was beating the disease.
Perhaps Marcheline wanted her children to continue to live their lives rather than have their lives put on hold to revolve around her illness. Some cancer patients prefer that - like my friend and my aunt. And perhaps, Angelina and her brother thought that was the best way to honour their mother, to live their lives rather then focus on their mothers illness.
Haters are quick to judge and criticise. It’s so sad for them. I kind of hope that one day, something tragic will happen to them - not because I want them punished or anything nasty, but sometimes, only when tragedy strikes you personally, do you realise that all the hate, the anger etc is pointless. Without pain, there is no growth.

My deepest heartfelt condolence to Angie, James and rest of the family. After many years of Marcheline’s battle with cancer, may she rest in peace knowing Angie has her family of much love and peace.. May she rest in peace knowing all is well.
I can’t even imagine what Angie and her brother are going through right now. I am happy she lived long enough to see her grand children and her daughter find love and happiness. Iwill keep the family in my prayers.
We love you, Angie.
I hate it when I have to come out of lurkdom to post about such sad news…..
Much love and sympathy going your way Angie, James, Brad, Madd, Z, Shiloh and those that love Marchilene.
I thank you Marchilene, for bringing into this world a beautiful person and an exemplary human being. May you rest in peace.

*************************
ITA about the loving energy, they said private funeral which usually is invite only. Even though they shared children, Jon Voight was not really apart of Marcheline’s life, so he may not be on the list. When someone has been fighting a disease for some time, many times they prepare the arrangements in advance. So whatever happens I’m sure it will be as she wished. They are all in my prayers
My heart just dropped to my feet when I read that headline. I too was under the impression she was beating it. Absolutely heartbreaking. I agree with the early poster who said that Marcheline felt she could finally let go because she lived to see Angie loved as she needed and deserved to be loved; by a true partner, who will take care of her as he would himself. I will be holding the entire family in my heart.
On New Year’s Day, we went to the funeral of my father’s cousin’s wife. We didn’t even know she’d been ill, she had been out to dinner on Christmas Day. Colon Cancer. Only her spouse and kids knew. She wanted it that way. My dad and her husband grew up as brothers; she should have at least let him know, but, that was HER wish. I am sure Marcheline wanted Angie to live her life with Brad and look to the future. At least she was there to say “goodbye”. Such a heartbreak - I know from my cousins, forwarning doesn’t help the reality at all.
Bless you all and thank you for the address for donations.
This news is so shoking after what Angelina said on the Larry King interview about her Mom doing better. My condolences to Angelina, her brother and her entire family (Brad, the kids, Brad’s family and their close friends). I work at the MD Anderson Center in Houston and this disease just messes up so many systems in the body, that the body just ends up giving. But God is the Creator and he has plans and missions for all of us and we should not doubt what they are.
To all the Fans, thanks a lot for your continuous support and prayers for our great heroine, Angelina.
I also want to add when someone you love has a terminal illness you go from praying they get better to praying that their suffering ends. Marcheline is in a better place and she no longer is in pain. Angelina and her family should find comfort in that.

My condolences to Angie, James and the rest of the family.
I know what they are going through…I lost my mother 14 years ago, and my father almost 6 years ago…They left the earth but they always live in me. Everyday of my life I fell they are with me…
Thank God, Angie has Brad….
We love you Angie. I´ll pray for you.
My heart goes out to Angie and her brother. I don’t care how old you are you are never prepared for the loss of a parent. I’m just glad that Angie and James have each other and can go through this together.
I think we should all send Angelina letters or cards of support and admiration, especially letters of support re: her mother.
She most likely gets hate mail from all the jealous haters out there and of course Maniston the Chin probably sends several every day. I posted her contact address earlier but here it is again.

I am sure that Marcheline was very happy to know in her heart that her daughter will be well taken care of by Brad. Knowing that and having three beautiful grandchildren must have made her last days a bit easier. Now, she is free of pain and in the arms of God.
“Ms. Bertrand, a Canadian-American actress of Spanish and Québécois descent, died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Jolie’s older brother James Haven were at the hospital yesterday.”
Please stop, Susie. I don’t think JA is that bad.
I’m not a normal poster but I could not let this pass without expressing my deepest condolences to Angie, James and the Jolie-Pitt family during this time. RIP, Ms. Bertrand.
My sincerest sympathy to Angelina, James & their immediate family for their loss. I feel for them especially Angelina whom I love as an actor & a person. Life goes on & hopefully the future holds fulfillment & more love & respect. Being one of Brad & Angelina’s fan it really affects me somewhat. But I will just give prayers for marcheline & maybe send donation to the Cedar Sinai Hospital. I think they will greatly appreciate it.
WHY WOULD YOU BRING ANISTON UP IN THIS THREAD ? TAKE YOUR HATE SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I am so releived that AJ has Brad in her life to support her and that she is not alone during this horrible time.
Dropping back in to say that I don’t think that even her brother who’ himself is in need of comfort just as much as Angelina is, couldn’t provide what Brad and her kids are.
^^^^
Brad as described by Angelina is someone who takes serious his role in her life, making sure she makes time to stop and smell the flora, and he makes time for them to swim outside of the fishbowl, and it’s him whose there with her when the one other person in her life who always championed Angelina, passes from her life.
It’s so sad and amazing all at once, and I just keep thinking about how NOTrandom it feels. I’m not speaking in romantic terms when I say I see Brad as the only person who is even remotely capable of getting her through this; of being the kind of person that if she so chose to go somewhere for a few days alone, or she and her brother need to take on the task of dealing with their mothers material possesions, she could count on Brad to take care of the homefront. She has someone she can truly depend on at what has to be the most sad time of her life and it really feels like divine intervention at work.

I’m sure Angelina knows her fans support her. We like everyone else should give her family some space. I don’t want to hear anything about Angelina or the passing of her mother by news outlets that have no reason to put this news up. I don’t want it to be discussed on The View, or other entertainment shows or tabloids. It’s not news to the general public. Her fans know where to get news. American serviceman/women passed as well over the weekend. That is more relavent news.
Wings Of The Angels
by Tim Chambers
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother’s name.
Left behind, the children’s tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother’s sent.
On angel’s wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God’s love, ’tis but the dawn.

=====================================================
Well Said jpf and I totally agree with you
Jon Voight is 73 years old while Marcheline Bertrand is only 56 that is 17 years difference and Angie’s mom raised the two kids by herself and such good adult they become. That is an accomplishment for such a young mother raising two kids by herself. I take my hats off to her! I cannot blame Angie for her rift with her dad. May she rest in peace.

i cant even imagine how sad she will be. she will always cry when its her mothers birthday. shell cry to have to spend christmas time without her mother or giving her a present, she breakdown if she sees something that was her mothers years ago.i hope she gets better at least to stop being sad all the time :( im so sad for her.i feel for her.shes not the only one, i lost my grandma and other people and i wasnt happy about it.angie you have a lot of people that love you like brad and the kids and you have fans that also love you and are supporting you , everyone that cares about will help you through this hard time.
I really hope the paparazzi leave them alone for awhile. However, if the papz do get photos of them grieving or at some private event that they are not posted here or any where else for that matter.
My deepest sympathy to Angie ,Brad, James, the Jolie-Pitt’s children
and Angie’s relatives on her mother side.
Angie, you have given your mother the sweetest love and respect.

To Paradise, the original “Ho” comment from the first #203 thread was deleted as it should rightfully be. Thank you JJ.
My apologies to the second #203 commentator. The “Ho” comment about AJ was heartless. AJ would never repeat what her Dad did to her Mom.
Francis Bertrand, Marcheline’s nephew and Angie’s cousin wrote this on his myspace
“Life is so short”
Im sure most of you have read, that yesterday, my aunt passed away. You never really know how long life will be, and it is so important to live each day as if it were your last.
If you wish, please show love by making a donation to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.”

He’s not 73. He was born in Dec of 1938. He’s 69. What’s interesting is that he and Marcheline are 12 1/2 yrs apart in age, and Brad & Angie are 12yrs apart. The irony in how each man has dealt with their families. Brad can’t be apart from them, and Jon missed out on so much and I feel sad for him in a different way, but sad nevertheless as I believe he’s “selfishly or unselfishly” mourning much right now. He’s put himself in a position where he can’t even comfort his children or they him.

My thoughts are with Angie and her family at this time. I lost my Mom when I was one year older than Angie is now and I will never forget the gut wrenching pain and deep sadness that I felt losing her. My brothers were solace, my father tried, but I was the kind of daughter that talked to Mom every day on the phone. No one could replace my Mom and how she helped me in life.
I will pray for Angie tonite and hope that the love and memories she has of her Mom can sustain her.
I am sure that Angie will continue to make her Mom proud.

I beg of everyone…Please refrain from mailing cards or letters to Angie as she and her family have CLEARLY stated that any tangible condolences be sent in the form of a contribution to Cedars Senai. Let’s honor Angie’s mother and Angie’s families wishes and not inundating them with things they don’t want or need at this time.
So very sad…
deep condolences for the family…
may God give her kids, her grand kids and her other family lots of strength to move on.
Rest In Peace mama Marcheline…..You’ve been a great woman, great mother. Thanks for gave an angel to the world…..

I lost my Mom when I was one year older than Angie is now and I will never forget the gut wrenching pain and deep sadness that I felt losing her. My brothers were solace, my father tried, but I was the kind of daughter that talked to Mom every day on the phone. No one could replace my Mom and how she helped me in life.
I will pray for Angie tonite and hope that the love and memories she has of her Mom can sustain her.
I am sure that Angie will continue to make her Mom proud.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks for sharing your sadness. Well said, and I bet Angelina will keep making her mama proud.

my deepest condolences to Angelina and family . May God bless you and give you strength and courage at this time . My thoughts and prayers with you and family.
I lost my mom 20 years ago, she was 44 and I was 19. I have never really dealt with her passing till 10 years ago, it bubbled up in my life like a boiling pot of water. If you have lost your mom or dad or anyone close to you, please mourn them. Take the time to grieve. Love the ones who are still here and let them know it often. Forget the little irritations of the day because they aren’t that significant in the long run. I love you Mom!

Moms have a way of making us believe in ourselves when we may even doubt our ability, and mine did that for me. I’m sure Angie derived alot of her strength from her Mom. Again, at this time, I will just pray for her and her family.
Her mom was born May 9th and I was born May 10th..that is so sweet to know
MY CONDOLENCES TO THIS EVER SO BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, ANGELINA AND HER BROTHER JAMES. MG! HOW LITTLE SHILOH WILL MISS OUT ON SEEING HER GRANDMAMA! MARCHELINE TRULY LOVED HER GRANDCHILDREN, ALL 3 OF THEM, AND YES, IT WAS NICE THAT HER MOM SAW HOW HER DAUGHTER CHANGED SO MUCH THESE LAST 3 YEARS. HER MOM GOT TO SEE HOW ANGELINA WANTED A FAMILY SO BAD, AND SHE FINALLY HAS ONE, AND THIS IS SO GOOD RIGHT NOW FOR THIS WOMAN WITH A HUGE HEART. MAY GOD BE WITH MARCHELINE, AND ANGELINA AND HER FAMILY; AS WELL AS HER BROTHER JAMES. GOD BLESS YOU ANGELINA, AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SO TOTALLY LOVE YOU, AND MAY THE GOOD LORD ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

I still have no idea what post susie says is referring to. I am never disrepectful to BAMZS and re-read all my posts and still cannot figure it out.
I can.t help but look at this picture………….Angie looks so much like her Mom. RIP Marcheline your daughter and grandkids are in good hands. My deepest condolences again to the whole family…. Goodnight guys.
mes condoléances attristées!!its her mother and not anyone ELSE!
may god help them all to get through it cuz its not easy at all to lose a parent espacially her mum who raised her and her !may GOD help them
My condolences to the Jolie-Pitts. You never truly become an adult until you’ve lost your parents. Our prayers and hearts go out to Angelina and James. Thank god she has Brad, Mad, Zee and Shi to get her through this.
I am a BIG Angie fan. I can’t help crying after I read this post. My prayers go out to Angie, Brad, and her kids. I am so sad. I feel like a relative of mine has just passed away. I LOVE you Angie.
P.S. I am also a lurker and do not post that much, but this news just broke my heart.
My condolences to their family. No matter what has been said before, it is always a sad time in life when you loose someone you love. And loosing your mother is a very sad event in this life. May God be with them all in this time of loss.

I beg of everyone…Please REFRAIN from mailing cards or letters to Angie as she and her family have CLEARLY stated that any tangible condolences be sent in the form of a contribution to Cedars Senai.
Let’s honor Angie’s mother and Angie’s families wishes and not inundating them with things they don’t want or need at this time.
#329- I think your name is MM. I am new to the site (transplant from PH) and trying to figure out who says what. Your post made me cry. My mom just came to visit for a few days and I got annoyed with her for trying to be helpful ( she was on me about painting some rooms in my house). I perceived it as nagging. But I realize she was trying to be helpful. I am going to call her and apologize, and then go hug and kiss my 4 year old daughter (hopefully not waking her up in the process). As a mom, know your mother loved you more than anything else. James and Angie, my heart goes out to you. MM, give yourself a big hug. You seem like a very sweet girl.
Sorry I forgot the link….

My condolence to Angelina, James and the family. My prayers are w/ you all of you. Stay strong…
My thoughts & condolences are with Angelina, Brad & James. No words can take away the sorrow or pain — only time will. We are here for a short time only and the people we meet along the way always leave a print on our soul. Marcheline Bertrand may be gone but she will live on in James, Angie & Shiloh. I wish the Jolie-Pitts & James Haven well.
R.I.P., Ms. Bertrand….
All my love and prayers to Angelina and her family.
Good night, everyone! It’s nice to see how those that rarely post on here, come to post their heartfelt condolences. Angie has so many wonderful supporters…..don’t be too much of a stranger.

Tiger Woods father was dying of cancer but he told his son to go to New Zealand for a golf tournment and a wedding of his caddie. Earl Woods died a couple of days after Tiger got back from his trip. Tiger would say later that his father said he did not want him hanging around on a “death watch”.
I think Angelina knew her mother was not “fine” but was fighting and that Marcheline wanted her to continue to live her life.
Quote from People Magazine-Family of The Year issue:
Looking ahead to the new year, “my wish each day is that everybody stays healthy,”say Jolie. “That’s the only thing I want- to have as much time together as we can all have.”

My deepest sympathy goes out to Angelina on what should be one of the lowest points of her life in losing her mother. If there is one thing I hope Angelina learns during her mourning is that life is far too short and she needs to realize she still has a father that loves her and wants a relationship with her. She just needs to meet him halfway before its too late.
I am watching a show on E that I had Tivo’d earlier and they had broken in and interrupted the show to announce Marcheline’s death. I can’t think of any other famous people they would do that for. It just shows how much the world loves Angelina.

My heart goes out to Angelina and James in their time of sorrow.
Alero….I was going to refer to that same quote from People Magazine. I think Angelina knew that this was coming. I’m certain her mother was glad that Brad was in her life, and she was able to see all of Angelina’s dreams of a family come true.
I hope the media will give them privacy as they deal with this loss.
I’m really sorry for Angie. She lost not only mommy but Bestfriend. So sad.

Actually her release said to send donations in lieu of FLOWERS not
any form of condolences.
My sincere condolences to the family. Perhaps, all those who found Ms. Joile’s mood at the GG to be questionable, will now regret their negative comments.
So sorry for thier loss … at such a young age.
It’s such a terrible circumstance to visit you guys, but I want to leave my thoughts among friends of what I sadly learned reading the news crawl this evening.
My heart is heavy for Angie’s loss of her mother, who was her cherished friend and heroine. Marcheline was an inspiration for all cancer patients battling for their lives, as she was a survivor for over 5 years. The five-year mark is a major milestone to reach for all cancer patients and survivors, usually a period for a celebration of life won. I’m saddened she couldn’t be a further model of strength for milestones further out in time. But she will continue to be my inspiration in spirit and for cancer patients.
My deepest condolences and sympathies go out to Angie and her family.
I don’t want to make this post anything about me so I will leave with just special hellos to all my friends and fellow BAMZSers. You all are frequently in my thoughts.

I am saddened by this news, I know that it is never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one, no matter how much advance warning you may have. I am glad Angie has such a wonderful support in Brad. He will surround her with his love and help her through it. I am glad he and the children are in her life. This is another life even that will draw them closer together.
—————————
I so agree dragonfly. I actually cried when I heard. It’s funny how a picture says a thousand words, you can almost feel Marcheline’s sweet nature emanating from her pictures, and that is always how Angelina describes her. The fortunate sweet part in all of this is that while Angie and Jamie have always had each other to lean on and gain support from — now, there are 4 more beautiful people who will be their strength and help them through this, Brad, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh. I agree with whoever said Marcheline had to be at peace seeing Brad come into Angie’s life and be her partner and see them create such a loving family. I believe Marcheline loved Brad like a son — Angelina truly gave her whole family a gift when she fell in love with such a solid, loving man.
But man, I guess the vultures will be out soon - trying to glimpse Angelina in her grief and get pics of her family…or starting some Jon Voight mess….or camping out on hospital grounds and at funeral homes…I pray these trashy tabs give them a break in all of this, but somehow I know they won’t.

Yes, I think that’s the way it is for many cancer sufferers. They don’t want a death watch, perhaps because they still want to live - if you know what I mean. They don’t want to be constantly reminded that their family and friends are gathered around spending time with them saying good bye. I must confess that I went up to see my own aunt just to say goodbye. I did that because it was good for me and it was good for my cousins to know that their mother was important enough for me to make a special 4 hour trip to see her. But to be honest, I’m not convinced it was the best thing for my aunt coz she knew why we were coming. However, like the trooper that she was, she was gracious and brave, holding it together for her family, to the very end.

Susie - You have every right in the world to send a card of sympathy is you choose to. I don’t understand why certain people think they need to dictate to the rest of us on how we handle this. When a family requests donations instead of flowers, that does NOT mean they are saying “take that $3.00 that you’d spend on a card and send a check”.
Do what feels right to you and all will be right with the world.
Good night and sweet dreams all. It’s nice to know yheir is a new special Angel watching over us.

Hey you two. I feel like we’ve been at a family gathering for a loved one whose passed on. Sad as I am, I’m just so happy her mom got to witness her job well done, and when the grieving abates, and it will, Angelina & Jamie will find peace in the love their mom gave them, the sacrifices she made, and the memories that are theirs and theirs alone and no one can take from them.
I’m out for the evening, but you guys have a great night.

yes that is what it said. i think it would do angie alot of good to see an outpouring of love in the form of cards and letters from her fans. She has Brad and her children but it always helps to know that you and your family are loved and people are thinking and praying for you during such a heart-breaking time. I plan on sending her a card of sympathy if I can find an address
my deepest condolences to the bertrand family as well the jolie-pitt family. i hope the media will let her and the family grieve in private, and not exploit it for fianancial gain.
On the issue of whether to send condolence cards or not, I think it is OK. Angelina’s wishes were - don’t send flowers, just give the money to the cancer foundation. However, cards or a message are probably OK. She will have her personal assistant help manage it.
I remember an article I read a couple of years ago by a journalist whose father had passed away. She wrote that she was so glad that so many people came to her father’s wake. In my part of the world, you go to a wake for 2 reasons - (1) to honour the relationship with the deceased and (2) you go as a friend or colleague of the family to show your support to the family - even though you may not have known the deceased. This journalist wrote how grateful she was that her father’s friends showed up but also, how many of her own friends showed up too to support her.

Let’s remember Marcheline Bertrand in our prayers, a great mother to Angelina and James, a mother in law of Brad Pitt, and a grandmother to Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh. She was the first and foremost teacher and confidant to Angelina and James: who taught them to become great human beings…May she rest in peace…
My mother also died at the age of 56 of breast cancer. The day she died, part of me died as well. It’s been years now since her passing, yet the pain is still there (just easier to manage each day). I miss her all the time. One thing that comforts me, are the beautiful memories that I have of her. And I thanked her in my heart, the moral strength that she taught us, that made us who we are today.
Cindy2____ OMG- this makes it a little less painless to share Angies pain. How are you honey?. We ALL miss you.. I just feel so bad for Angie and James. OK, talk to us C2 we all waited long enough!!! Kidding, just really miss you and your extremely wise posts! :lol: No pressure but will you post for awhile, otherwise I am going to bed?
Thank you all for the support tonight. I have been attacked by 2 people and I am not sure why. I love BAMZS snfd wish the best in the world for them and would never say or do anything hurtful to them. My prayers and thoughts are with them. Thank you again.
no one said sorry for Jon Voight. And as sorry as i am for her mother death and her pain. I also think that Jon voight will be sad too. Im just asking that he be included in the condolences. The mother of his two kids, his ex-wife has just died. I think he will be sad too
Dear Mr. Seacrest,
Why does the media continue to bash Brad & Angelina but, forget about others like;
Julia Roberts (w/Danny M.)
Meg Ryan (w/Russell C.)
Kate Hudson (w/Owen W.)
Tom Cruise (w/Penelope C.)
Denise Richards (w/Richie S.)
Charlie Sheen (& call girls)
Donald Trump (w/two misstresses/wives)
Claire Danes (w/Mary L. Parkers fiance - she was 8mo. pregnant!)
Antonio Bandaras (w/Melanie G.)
Jennifer Lopez (w/Ben A.)
Not to mention, Goldie Hawn (w/Kurt R.), Elizabeth Taylor (w/Eddie F.) & Frank Sinatra — just to name a few!

Stop trying to start trouble in this thread. there are other places you can use for your nonsense.
Angelina and her family are in my prayers ……deepest sympathies to the Jolie-Pitts and heartfelt appreciation to Marcheline for raising such wonderful, caring children.
Jolie4Ever - Where are you?
i may get bashed for this but i know i love AJ i am a huge fan, anyone that knows me know this. iam 90% straight 10% gay for AJ.
I also have a close knit family and cant get over that she cannot forgive her father. Me and my dad have never been separated for more then 3 months. I love him so much, i cant imagine what would keep me mad at him. Unless he physically or sexually abused any of my future kids…which will never happen because he is amazing. A part of me wish that AJ should cling to the parent that she has alive, exhaust all her options to have some sort of relationship with him. He helped create her. He was a sh1tty dad but some people can recover from that. I hope her mom encouraged her to forgive her father.
i want JV to be a part of AJ’s life

I so agree with you.
mkjs Says: Because, he dumped her when Angie was 2 MONTHS old and James was about 2 or three. NOPE nothing to say to that ****-hole JV , NEVER!!!! I hope he is not invited to the private funeral………….. Sorry Hon, thats the way I feel.
well they divorced in 1978. Aj was 3. Doesnt make it any better. But he was a ****** father, he was devoted to his acting, but that doesnt mean he didnt love his children. He was unfaithful, so many men are. Just that Marcheline was strong enough to divorce him. Im just saying if the father of my kids died. I would be sad. I created life with him, he is the reason for my two blessings. without him Marchline would not have AJ and JH. We need to be a little more forgiving
A rite of passage such as death can bring family closer together. Condolences to James & Angelina. My deepest sympathy to Jon Voight as well. Marcheline was the mother of of his two children .
I pray the family can mourn in peace.
mkjs,
I hate people who try to push the relationships they have with their parents onto other people.
Unless you’ve been there, don’t judge.
I’m sure she has good reason for not having him in her life, as I have good reason for not having my father in mine.
Good for you and the life you are living. It’s not my life and I, as well as Jolie I’m sure, could do without the holier than thou, I love my dad why don’t you speech.
Not to be mean but . . .

Hiya jpf, I so agree with you. She did an amazing job raising Angie and James all by herself, she was a remarkable woman and may she rest in peace.
Good night jpf and I am out as well
I really do not think it is the right time to discuss issues. Healing must take place and then issues will be resolved. Best wishes to JPs and James.

ITA. Angie’s mom probably told her to just go on w/her life and continue the things that she is doing.
Sad day for the family. 56 is way too young.
well death teaches us the things that are really important. Forginess.
“Ive been trying to get down to the heart of the matter…..forgiveness, forgiveness, even if even if you dont love me anymore.”
Thank you Jared for posting this thread, especially today.
Through my love and admiration for Angie and Brad, I feel as if I have lost a loved one too. I’ve been tearing up off and on all day today, just thinking about Angie’s pain. It’s hard to explain this feeling to others, so this has been such a welcoming source to come to, as we share our thoughts, and extend our heartfelt condolences and love. So, to all the BAMZS fans out there, thanks for sharing, and being there today.
My love and prayers to Angie, James, Brad and the whole family.
Yep Jon has to be feeling grief too. I read that he had visited Marcheline recently.
Condolences to him too.
blue diamonds– OK, agree to disagree…
~~~blue diamonds, cutiepie, susie, mkjs, JR, NORA ~~~~
mourn in peace … there is a time for reconcilation if it’s at all deserving , don’t force the issue. ~ peace ~
Jon has to be feeling grief too. I read somewhere that he had visited Marcheline recently. My condolences to him too.
I am truly sorry for your lost, Ms Jolie, my mother died 29 years ago of ovarian cancer when she was only 49 years old my age now. I miss her every day and know how you must be feeling. Time heals pain but you will never forget her.
I add my condolences as well to Jon Voight…. and the Bertrand family who I forgot to mention earlier. As to a reconciliation between Angie and Jon, well, I hope Angie does what she feels in her heart she needs to do whether that be reconciling with her father or not. There are just some things that only our very private souls know is best for us.
I just donated to Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai in honor of Marcheline Bertrand and in my comment I asked them to let Angie know that she has a lot fans at Jared Jared. I am going to make a handmade sympathy card and send it to her, Brad, James, M, Z and Shiloh.
May Barcheline rest in peace.
its not forcing the issue. Its very relevant. While most people are expressing their condolences to everyone but Jon voight, i am just making a point to see if someone else may remember he was married to Marchline. Everyone is talking about what they hope this will resolve or/and explain. Thanking people in her life and hoping she heals. Im very relavent in saying hoping she forgives, and stating what i hope this resolve and experience. Im sure in the end she will do what she feels is best for her and her family.
I think Angelina should do whatever is best and the healthiest for HER and her family. If that means making up with Jon… good for them. if not… then that’s ok too.

I’m sure Angelina knows her fans support her. We like everyone else should give her family some space. I don’t want to hear anything about Angelina or the passing of her mother by news outlets that have no reason to put this news up. I don’t want it to be discussed on The View, or other entertainment shows or tabloids. It’s not news to the general public. Her fans know where to get news. American serviceman/women passed as well over the weekend. That is more relavent news.
————————-
STFU. Tell it to Oprah and Chin Maniston who wasted oh-so-precious air time lying about her latest boob job and talking about the tabloids instead of discussing “American serviceman/women.” I didn’t hear you squawking about THAT not being “relavent.” Yet you’d begrudge news outlets announcing Angelina’s mother’s death? Sit and spin….and learn to spell.
mkjs,
You are forcing the issue and it’s only relevant to you.
Marcheline might have written she didn’t want him there. He’s been her ex for years and she might not care for him much.
Does that do it for you?
If you care so much for Jon Voight and his pain, why don’t you send him card.
Found on a Brad and Angelina site.
“On one of Angelina’s site, the poster (cristine) who was the first to post about Angie’s mom’s death yesterday (Saturday) before the media reported it this morning also had this to say:
okey let me tell you more. i’m a nurse and my best friend is also a nurse who had the pleasure and honor of taking care of, she said:” a very lively,down to earth always positive and very beautiful lovely woman” who looks like AJ who’s been battling cancer for almost 8yrs. Marceline was well loved by the nurses at cedars b/c of her great qualities. last nite at about 6pm my friend called to tell me that cedars is in so much in chaos b/c brad and angie were there and marceline just passed away. she said tons of paparatzis all around the hosp. that brads bodyguards cannot do anything, so they called the hospital security 2dozens of them came to contained the ppl around. brad and angie had to be taken by the heliport to be able to leave the hospital. also my friend told me that angie was crying hard and brad was w/ her the whole time embracing her not letting go. she said very obvious that brad is so much in love w/ the body language.also her brother james was there.no sign of jon voight.she also said that angie is thinner now than when she 1st saw her before. still very beautiful without make up. okey sweetie i hope this is enough info! talk to you later!”
My mistake…
May Marcheline Bertrand rest in peace..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcheline_Bertrand
A woman, a mother , daughter, sister passed away on Saturday. Can you people give her some peace? To post hate and lectures to people expressing love to her and her family. I don’t know how or why your heart is so cold to attack people that are only showing kindness. But whatever is wrong with you seek help and stop inflicting it on others.
Thank you Jared. and may she rest in peace. She was and is an inspiration.
My condolences to Angelina Jolie and her family.
She was very close to her mother.
I hate the paparazzi!
Good night, peeps!
