The wife of First Sergeant Yossef Kirma, one of the victims of today’s deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem, eulogizes her husband at his funeral on Mount Herzl military cemetery.
Noy Kirma spoke of his love for her: “We had so many plans together a home, children, and you always supported my career. You loved me always, unconditionally, even more than I loved myself,” she said. “My Yossi, look how many people came just for you. You are my light and my heart.”
