Sheryl Sandberg's moving tribute to the husband who died: 'Dave was my rock'

Facebook executive posts a heartfelt eulogy to her husband, David Goldberg, saying she was grateful for every minute they had together

Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer at Facebook, has used the social networking site to pay a moving tribute to her husband David Goldberg who died in an accident last week.

On the day of an emotional memorial service, attended by hundreds of Silicon Valley's most prominent executives, Sandberg posted a striking eulogy in which she said: "Dave was my rock."

I want to thank all of our friends and family for the outpouring of love over the past few days. It has been extraordinary - and each story you have shared will help keep Dave alive in our hearts and memories.

I met Dave nearly 20 years ago when I first moved to LA. He became my best friend. He showed me the internet for the first time, planned fun outings, took me to temple for the Jewish holidays, introduced me to much cooler music than I had ever heard.
