“And now you can rest in peace. I will be comforted by the thought that you’re with Papa and Mama Azon now. And you’re face to face with our Lord. It hurts so bad, to let you go, but you deserve to rest. Know that we love you and we always will,” she added.
Hans’ former colleague on TV5 took to Twitter to express their condolences.
His last Facebook post was a photo of his two hands with the caption: “pink or blue before going to the ICU.”
