(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - At Michael Mark's funeral, a relative delivered a message from Mark's 14-year-old daughter Tehila, who was injured in the attack, who described her father's final moments: "I saw you in your last moments....You didn't let go of the steering wheel, you didn't try to protect yourself. Until your last breath you tried to save us. I never imagined these would be my last moments with you, but I am proud of you. You are a hero." President Reuven Rivlin, who spoke at the funeral, said he is related to the slain father of 10. "I stand in front of your coffin, Miki, Michael, in sorrow and anguish, and with me stand an entire nation, together grieving," Rivlin said. "Terrorism has been with us since the beginning of our national home here, for generations from 1929 through to 2016. But even when our loved ones' blood is spilled, it does not to weaken our resolve. We are not afraid. We do not give up. We do not retreat....Our roots are deeply planted in the soil of this country."
