"We will never forget you - you gave us hope in captivity": Yair Yaakov's children in parting words. "Take care of me in heaven, I love you and you will always be in my heart," wrote 17-year-old Or.

Yigil, who was kidnapped to Gaza on Black Sabbath and released on the fourth beat, also joined his brother's painful words: "Father, you were everything to me, you held me for four months" "I know that now you are not suffering after spending 130 difficult days in captivity," said Yigil Yaakov.
