In Memoriam of:
In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.
"I pleaded with you to hide and protect yourself, but you remained a hero, leading the way and shielding everyone else. 'We're in position, waiting for them,' you updated me as if you knew exactly what was going to happen. Then, at 7:38 a.m., I received your last message, 'We're in a firefight. My soldiers have been wounded.' I kept asking if you were okay, desperate for a sign, but you never replied.
How you loved serving in the army. You were a true fighter, admired and respected by everyone, even more so now.
You were always a leAdar, the source of laughter, and the first to lend a helping hand. In your notebook, you wrote an opening speech for your soldiers with such dedication and organization that nothing escaped your attention. One sentence you wrote gave us chills: 'We will face many challenges together - difficult, joyful, funny, and maybe even painful moments. But together, we can overcome anything.'
Adar, my one and only sister, we will hold onto those words you shared with your soldiers and try to find strength in them now."

Adar's partner, in sharing his pain, said: "My Adar, my love from my youth. My heart can't accept this. There are no words to describe the past six years we spent together. I always told you that you couldn't fathom how much I love you and what you mean to me, and now those words hold a different meaning. I always told you that the sky was the limit for you, and you proved it time and time again.
Your death is the death of a hero. I always knew you were brave, fearless like a butterfly to fire.
On Saturday morning, when I saw what was happening, I had a terrible feeling. We searched for you in hospitals, refusing to believe the worst until the devastating news arrived. We used to feel sorry for couples who experienced such tragedies, and now it's our turn. Now I'm alone, and tears continue to flow.
