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.

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.”

My sincere prayers to Angelina.

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.
