Dessel More than a thousand people Saturday in the St. Nicholas church in Dessel said goodbye to Stef Loos (19). The cyclist came last weekend to the life after a dramatic accident in the Walloon Dottignies. “The news, the images and the awareness that it is you. The pain is beyond comprehension. You’re a hell of a son and brother.” The words of his mother, but later also that of his dad, brother, friend, soldiers, and fellow-student cuts to the marrow.
