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..
REPOSTING!!
Here is the link for donations to Cedar’s Sinai.

I would like to suggest that for those interested in donating, to maybe make it clear that it is being donated in MARCHELINE BERTRAND’S name, so that at least Angelina and Brad would know that there are a lot of us who are thinking of her and her mother.

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.

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.
