Once a passenger manifest, now a list of victims.  At St. Vitus Church in Hilversum, Netherlands, the locals grieve.

Three entire families from this town — mothers, fathers and children — all died on-board MH17. What’s hitting some people the hardest is that whole families have been lost. Three homes in this town are now surrounded by flowers.

At the church, Priest Julius Dresme tries to hold the community together.

Friends and relatives of the victims say that until the bodies are brought back, they remain unable to come to terms with this tragedy. CCTV’s Dan Whitehead reports from the Netherlands.
