Dear Family of Yona
I’m so sorry for your loss. May his memory be for a blessing. His life was a meaningful one, protecting our people’s homeland from oppressors, and his memory be honored for his courage and selflessness. I almost started crying reading his biography. Please know I’m thinking of him and holding him in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. His memory will not be forgotten and will live on in my heart and the hearts of many others.

Dear Brazily family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Osher was a kind, passionate girl who had dreams and goals. She was kind, volunteered, and had many big dreams for herself, like becoming a surgeon and wanting to help others. Her kindness shouldn’t be forgotten but remembered. Osher will forever live on in you, so whenever you look at yourself, just remember Osher is always with you, no matter the distance. She will forever live on in you.
Sincerely,
Lilly Kiser

To the Family of Sargent Tomer Leibovitz,
Your son, Tomer was a good man, he served his country and I am grateful for that. Also he played volleyball and I’m guessing he was good at it. He sadly died very young at the age of 19. October 7th was hard for me but harder for you because someone you love died. I hope he will live forever in your harts.

love, Eli.

May his name be a blessing.

Dear Karmi’s
I’m very sorry for your loss; it must have been unbearable. There aren’t enough words to express his bravery. October 7 had many losses, and I’m sorry that he was one of them. His name was Ori, and without a doubt, he lit up people’s lives with his kindness and bravery for Israel. We all thank him for his commitment to Israel.עם ישראל חי

Dear Lior, Tikva, Sapir, Eden, Yarin, Yarden, Chen, and Ori,
I am a 7th grade student at Donna Klein Jewish Academy. Your daughter, sister, or girlfriend Sgt. Osher Simcha Barzilay was so amazing. You guys are so strong and brave. I read that she wanted to be a brain surgeon, she would have been great at that from how smart you guys mentioned she is. I will forever remember her. May her memory be a blessing forever and always.

Dear Leshem Family,

I know that no words are able to ease they death of someone you love so much. I know i’m not able to fully experience what you feel but I am holding him in my heart and remembering what he did for everyone.

It sounds like Naveh was the type of person that when he would walk into a room the room would practically light up. It is really cool how he stayed in touch with his teacher. He sounds like the type of person everyone wanted to be around. I’ve heard the saying ‘You are the company you keep’ which means if you hang out with bad people everyone will think you are bad but if you hang out with good people you will be looked upon well. Naveh was probably the person who was good.

Being a “Golanchik” sounds like it takes a lot of courage. To be 20 years old and so brave is amazing. I think it’s really sad that he had seven brothers and sisters who have to say goodbye, but I hope they remember how much he loved them and how he was the “glue” that held his friends together.

Naveh didn’t waste any time and did so much for his country. I will remember his name and that he was a person who always had a smile, even when things were hard. I hope it gets easier for you.

-Love
Sofia

Dear Hamo family,
I know that I can’t take away the pain that you have but I at least want you guys to know that I care and millions of other people care. Michael was loved by many people and even though he passed, Michael probably did it the way he wanted to, by protecting his country. I hope you guys are doing well and healthy.
