Memory of Maxim Nelipa
The published photo clearly shows that flowers, candles, and his portrait have been placed on Maxim Nelipa’s grave. Tamara emphasized that only a year has passed, but the family still misses Maxim very much. According to her, the actor’s children, Artem and Masha, miss their dad, and she misses the person with whom she shared her whole life. The family assures that the memory of him will remain forever in their hearts and memories.
“Only a year has passed, and we still miss you so much… Your children miss their dad, and I miss the one with whom I shared my whole life. You will forever be in our hearts! The memory of you will remain in our memories! Damn the war that takes away our dearest ones”
Since Tamara and the children currently live in Israel, they could not personally visit the grave. The woman asked a friend to visit the burial site and bring flowers and other items that Artem and Masha wanted to leave for their dad.
