What awful and sad news. Hard to comprehend. Much strength to the family, friends, and everyone who loved #PaulienCornelisse. A huge loss 🙏💔 (translated)
Paulien Cornelisse (50) has passed away. Language was, let's say, really her thing. And that language should have stayed for a long time, because she was far from done telling stories about it. And many would have loved to learn everything about it – especially from her mouth, from her pen – as well. (translated)
