Another plane carrying other Brazilian victims is headed to Sao Paulo. Brazilian President Michel Temer is scheduled to greet the arriving cargo planes at the airport in Chapeco on Saturday, but is not expected at the memorial.In preparation for the service, residents hung more than 3,000 green and white origami pieces fashioned into the figure of a crane -- birds that are considered a symbol of peace -- onto the metal fence at the teams Arena Conda stadium.Gravediggers were preparing the ground at two cemeteries, where 13 people associated with the club were to be buried Saturday. The rest of the victims, including 19 players, will be transported to other cities around Brazil.The loss has been felt acutely in Chapeco, which was captivated by the meteoric rise and improbable success of their hometown team in soccer-crazed Brazil. Some 100,000 people were expected at the stadium on Satuurday -- about half of the citys population.ddddddddddddThe staff at the Jardim do Eden cemetery, where some of the bodies were to be buried, said they were used to the business of death, but this time it felt different.We bury two people every day. Ive done this job for a long time, but this is different, said Dirceu Correa, caretaker of the cemetery. It is a tragedy for the families, for the club, and also for us because we are a part of the city.In an emotional news conference Friday, the mother of one of the victims paused in between answering questions from reporters to ask one herself.How are you in the press doing after losing so many colleagues? asked Ilaides Padilha, mother of the goalkeeper Danilo, referring to the 20 journalists who were killed in the crash.The stunned reporter, Guido Nunes of Sportv, started crying, and Padilha hugged him. Were all in this together, she said.Marissol Dias, who volunteers for the charity that organized the placing of the origami crane figures at the stadium, said she was overwhelmed by the communitys response.This comes from a Japanese legend that says if you make 1,000 of these, a wish will be granted, she said. Our community did much more than we asked.The teams small stadium can hold only about 20,000 people, so the rest of the 100,000 visitors expected Saturday will be able to watch the ceremony on screens set up outside.Amanda Machado, the fiancee of the defender known simply as Dener, visited the stadium on Friday, which was supposed to be their wedding day.I chose to be here at the stadium because at least I feel closer to him, she said.----Associated Press producer Renata Brito contributed to this report from Chapeco, Brazil.
