00:16Chudesa and her mother are just two of the 35 people killed in the attack, one
00:21of the deadliest Russian strikes of the entire three-year war.
00:30I can't see her with my old teeth so I can't see her in my life.
00:46That's the main thing. That she will not come to us with the woman.
00:54Russia fired two missiles at the center of Sumi at a time when many were heading to church
01:03for Palm Sunday, a major Christian feast.
01:07Holding flowers and murmuring respectfully, friends and relatives formed a circle around
01:12a priest giving an eulogy in front of the building where the women lived.
01:16Natalia Chudesa struggled to step away from the coffin, caressing the face of her daughter-in-law,
01:22led in the open cascade.
01:25We keep together.
01:28We live in this area, far away.
01:33But we always ride on the beach with a river, with a marine, with a river, with a river,
01:39with a fishing, with a grass, with a fish, with a grass, with a river, with a river, with a river,
01:44with a river or a river, with a river, with a river and to work and to rest.
01:52She wished for Mariana to have stayed with her husband and children, and that God had
02:01taken her instead.
02:02I would like to leave her with her children, and that God had taken her.
02:12I love her.
02:13I love her.
02:14I love her.
02:15I just started to realize how much I don't have enough of them, and how much I am and I
02:21love them.
02:22In the chaos following the attack, Irina, director of the school where Mariana worked, hoped she
02:32had survived as her body could not be found in the morgue.
02:36We went together with my mother to the basement and heard the explosion.
02:43And Mariana Alexandrovna, as I already said, was a very good and bright person.
02:48First and second, she took the course of medical help, and she left it immediately to help
02:54people.
02:55And that's it.
02:56The second explosion, and it didn't happen.
03:01At the entrance to the school where Mariana taught, a memorial was set up with flowers
03:06and a black and white photo of her smiling.
03:09Above it hung the portrait of a former school student killed in the war.
03:13At the cemetery, Ivan was also struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter-in-law.
03:20He had known Mariana since she was a girl.
03:23As her and his son were lost in the war.
03:26At the cemetery, Ivan was also struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter-in-law.
03:32At the cemetery, Ivan was also struggling to come to terms with the death of his daughter-in-law.
03:39He had known Mariana since she was a girl.
03:41As her and his son Volodymyr had been childhood friends before falling in love.
03:46As her and his son Volodymyr said, Irina Olexeevna, that there is no one of my friends.
03:51I was not a friend of mine.
03:53I was not a friend of mine.
03:54I was not a friend of mine.
03:55When I came to my daughter, I didn't understand that.
03:57And then it came to me that it was Mariana.
04:00I said, how?
04:01There is no one.
04:02What happened?
04:03She died.
04:04I immediately put the door on the door, because I couldn't talk.
04:09For me it was just a shock.
04:11Standing next to the coffin, Irina called on the last mourners to pay their respects before
04:18it was closed and lowered into the ground.
