Hillel’s Eulogy at Guy's funeral

 

Our family, so dear and so close, Riri, Jacques, Guy, Dana and Orly, our closest family circle.

 We are still socked, smitten, refusing to believe.

 How can it be, that from our family wall, a brick so dear, so beloved, has fallen?

Our Guy, one of our sons, the continuation of our path, the future of our family, the goal of our lives. And just like that, suddenly, without warning, with fate deceit, you became from future to past.

 Who will console us? From where shall we draw strength to go on?

We are with you, Riri, Jacques, Dana and Orly and together we shall try to go forward, we shall try to prevent our family wall from crumbling.

But the void that gaped will stay with us. And how shalll it be filled?
