Ofri Bibas-Levy, sister of former hostage Yarden Bibas, on Wednesday eulogized Shiri Bibas and her children Kfir and Ariel who were murdered in captivity.
"I didn’t hope to see you again like this. How do you even begin to say goodbye? How can it be that you're no longer here?" she said. "Shiri, you were the perfect partner for Yarden. I couldn't have asked for anyone better for him — loving, sensitive, caring, pampering, calming. The strength you gave him all these years is now what we’re drawing from."
"Luli [Ariel], how I miss you — your shyness, your playfulness, your sweetness, your smile. Kfir, I will never have a replacement for the time I didn’t get to have with you. We had no time at all. I didn’t even get to buy you a first birthday gift.
"There’s no meaning to apologies before the failures are investigated and those responsible are held accountable. They could have saved you, but they chose revenge."
