| Comme les précédentes, l'année 2012 s'en va avec plusieurs de nos proches. Nous obligeant à nous battre sans eux. Surtout lorsqu'ils étaient tout pour nous. Des suites de maladies, victimes d'accidents de la circulation ou d'agression, ils sont nombreux ceux qui ont rejoint la terre de nos ancêtres durant ces 365 derniers jours. A côté des inconnus, plusieurs personnalités ont également quitté la scène. CT présente quelques disparitions emblématiques de l'année, tout en souhaitant qu'elles soient moins nombreuses en fin 2013 prochain. | |
