A week after the death of her mother Jeanny (81 years old), Flemish minister Hilde Crevits, leader of the CD&V, also announced that she had lost her father Frans this Saturday evening. Like his wife, he lost his battle against cancer.
In the space of just one week, Flemish Minister Hilde Crevits, Flemish Vice-Minister-President and a well-known face of the CD&V, announced that she had lost both her parents. She announced the sad news via the social network Facebook.
It was a week ago, on Sunday 1 September, that the Flemish minister announced the death of her mother, Jeanny, aged 81. “She fought like a lioness, but last night my mother lost her years-long battle with cancer…”she wrote on Facebook.
And exactly one week later, this Sunday morning, she now indicates that her father Frans has joined his mother, still via Facebook. “He fought like a lion, but exactly one week after my mother, tonight, my father also lost his battle with cancer. They couldn’t live without each other, even now… It’s love, but it hurts so much now.”
