“All her family and friends will keep from Hermine the memory of a great lady with a big heart who always had time for others,” the statement continued. “It was enough that she entered a party to change the atmosphere and energize all the assistance. She will remain as a reference for the end of the XXth century of an art of living. She transported you with a joy and a kindness that one that we are not going to forget just like her smile even if she confused more than one by her frankness and her enthusiasm. ”

Viviane Zaniroli, creator of the Rallye des Princesses, remembered her late friend on July 3 with a tribute to the “lovely princess” on Facebook. “Hermine left us this morning she hasn‘t recovered from her motorcycle accident and her long 4-week coma - Bye my lovely princess! You will forever be in my heart,” Viviane penned. “You are the soul and spirit of the Rally of Princesses forever! We had fun, had a good laugh! I love you and my heart is bleeding today 😪 tender thoughts to Allegra and Calixte her children orphaned by a very beautiful mom 😪 Rest in peace my friend 🙏 life is very unfair! Forever Hermine from Clermont-Thunder ❤️🌸🏁.”
