Chen, a friend of the family, wrote: “Darkness forever descends / joy is exiled to foreign places / Only a family survives / and friends who do not, Do not believe. Nothing will bring you back to us / Yaniv, you will not return / Your memory is forever in our souls / Laughs or sometimes sad. Yaniv did not sit that morning / Lebanon fought and opened a road / and heard a tremendous explosion as thunder / opened a gate at the top. You’re sitting up / laughing with Malachi Marom / and we’re down here / crying – the dream has broken. Darkness forever descends / Joy is exiled to strange places / Only loved family / and friends who are so painful. And no, there are no words … “wrote one of his friends:” I took your album / and the November 2 volume book / I took all the photographs from the newspaper and cut it nicely. I thought that it could not be true / I decided to try to filter your name again between my lips / And I found my eyes begin to tear / I remembered how on Saturday I hugged you and begged you to take care of yourself, My brother and I suddenly accompany your coffin / replace the roses in the wall of memory we prepared for you / Yaniv, it’s not so clear to me yet that you are not here / but when both your brother and your father are crying and your mother kisses us and hows we lost a brother, The flowers / on the grave, of my older brother who will always admire and love, Yaniv. “His friend Danny Ogen wrote a poem in his memory:” The world will teach bereaved bereavement / John fell all / yield at attention under garlands / day of doom, never to return. He will not bend another shoulder in every sorrow / forever He will smile from the picture / Know the moon on a friend we have forgotten, and only the memory remains … Under the cover of the strength of life / Being our brother, partner until you die / How did you turn between a day from ” / RokhnSea of stars and crying that you are not. A friend and brother have left us orphans / your star will pray forever. “
