CHAPEC, Brazil - When Sirli Freitas lost her husband in the air crash that wiped out Brazil's Chapecoense soccer club, she had to rebuild her life. So she took his old job.

Cleberson Silva had been the press secretary for what was then known as Brazilian soccer's fairy tale success story, a small club that had come up through the ranks to the verge of international success.

Then on Nov 29, the 39-year-old was aboard the plane carrying the team to a regional championship game in Medellin, Colombia. The plane crashed just short of its destination, killing 71 people - the first team and much of the staff.
