Itongadol.- For Nadav Damri, his family’s nightmare began with a phone call from his father in Istanbul on Saturday.

 
“I don’t wish on anyone to receive a call like the last one I got from Dad. He told me, there was a terror attack, I’m hurt and they can’t find mom. This is when our nightmare began.”
 
Damri spoke of the nightmare phone call on Monday before hundreds of loved ones in Dimona who came to say farewell to Simcha Damri, a local mother of four known for her charity work, who was murdered along with two other Israelis and an Iranian citizen during a suicide bombing in Istanbul on Saturday.
 
“We are so much alike, we always shared everything and now I don’t have anyone to share things with,” he said, breaking down and sobbing for the woman he called not only his mother, but his best friend as well.
 
Simcha was part of a group of Israelis who were visiting Turkey on a culinary tour and had just finished dining at a restaurant on the famous Istiklal street when a suicide bomber blew himself up next to the group after the exited the eatery. She was killed along with Israelis, Avraham Goldman, a 69-year-old father of three from Ramat Hasharon, and 40-year-old Yonatan Shor, a father of two from Tel Aviv. An Iranian citizen was also counted among the killed.
 
Simcha’s husband Avi – a well-known local Dimona businessman – was moderately wounded in the blast and on Monday was still hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and unable to attend his wife’s funeral. Instead, he gave a note to his daughter Adi, which she read for her mother at the cemetery.
 
“I don’t know what has happened, I only know that the world has been destroyed,” he wrote, adding “so many people have been left behind, all of the families that you helped, Yochai, Nadav, Ben, Adi (the couple’s four children). I will be strong for them and keep the family together.”
 
Avi was planning a surprise party to celebrate Simcha’s 60th birthday next month, his children said Monday.
 
Dimona Mayor Ben Biton praised Simcha for her years of charity work helping out needy families in Dimona, and called her “one of the fo9undations of the city”.
 
“Helping others and the desire to do good were part of who she was,” he added.
