Gavriyah’s girlfriend weeps for ‘my hero’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBatya Cohen, Solomon Gavriyah’s girlfriend, eulogizes the Border Police officer as he is buried in his hometown of Be’er Ya’akov:
“My babe, I can never express how much I love you. The love of my life. My life.
Last night you fell asleep on the phone to me because you had guard duty in the morning.
I couldn’t believe what I saw on the news this morning.
Now one ever taught me how to deal with this. I don’t know how to accept this. I can’t.
You were always the best, the best in your unit, the best of all our friends. The best person I knew. You never complained. You were a warrior. A hero. My hero. You fought to get into this unit. You were on your way to be in the Military Police but you fought to get where you were.
How can this happen? My beautiful 20-year-old babe.”
