Hundreds attended today (Thursday) the funeral of Shira Itayo Gujam, 19, who was killed this week in an accident at the Mesubim interchange on Road 4. "Yesterday she was still dancing with the children in kindergarten, killed hours later, it's inconceivable."

"She was such a good girl, so beloved," he told Walla!

Her brother Avraham is 39 years old.

"She always wanted to help the family. She had big dreams. She dreamed that one day she would have a house on the land. She always said she would buy one for her and one for her mother."

"This was her second year at the kindergarten," said Leahy, who worked with her at the kindergarten in North Tel Aviv, where she served in the national service.

"She loved the kids so much, and they and we loved her so much. We need to understand what property we lost."

Reuven Pinski, director general of the National Service, also eulogized her, "she brought so much good into the world." He promised, "We will do everything we can to help the family."
