Michal Salomon eulogizes murdered Elad as ‘perfect husband’

Michal Solomon, the wife of Elad, who was killed in Friday’s terror attack, eulogized him at the funeral in Modi’in earlier this evening with these words:

“My Elad, my dear husband and my best friend. Thirteen years ago we met in Neve Tzur. I met a quiet, calm and stable man. I felt certain in my decision to spend out lives together.

“You were a perfect husband, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. You were excited by our kids. You cared about them. You played with them like a kid yourself.

“We had a real partnership. We made decisions together. We worked together. Now you are not here for me and it scares me.

“You loved our family. And we loved you.

“My love for you will never end. I thank you for all the years you had with me and the children. I could never imagine it would end so suddenly.

“I want to say thank you to everyone here. In the last two days I have received so much strength from people I don’t know. You don’t know how much you have helped me.

“Yossi and Chaya,” Elad’s father and sister, also murdered in the attack, “I will miss you.”
