My deepest condolenses to Wim's family and friends. I'm so grieved by this loss.
The tiny bit of Wim that I knew through our casual witty writing on each other's myspace walls revealed him to be a very kind and warm and good-hearted person who must be loved by a lot of those who knew him personally.
I'm grateful for having been given a chance to brush shoulders with Wim in a way in this lifetime.
He told me he had visited both of my countries: the one I was born in and the one I live in. And it is greatly symbolic and touching to me, that at the moment when I found this sorrowful information about the loss of Wim I was listening to The Crash Test Dummies' song At My Funeral - a sad but gently optimistic and loving monologue of quite a young man, who knows he is not going to stay, addressed to his beloved friends.
I will remember Wim.

Sinserely,
Angelina.

 

Thank you for your kinds words Angelina. We are heartbroken over the loss of our brother Wim. We will be posting an official statement to honor Wim shortly but need time to grieve in our own way of his passing.
 

Gecondoleerd.  Moge hij Rusten in vrede en moge zijn naasten de liefde ontvangen die nodig is om door deze moeilijke tijden heen te komen.
 

I wanted to give my deepest condolences to all of you, and Wim's family. Mere words don't really suffice at a time like this, but know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers.
