A tiny hero got a big farewell in Brooklyn yesterday.

A 60-car procession followed the casket that took Kira Goddard, 13, to her final resting place in Maple Grove cemetery, capping a tear-soaked, two-day service.

“I feel proud even though I’m hurting,” said her sobbing father, Wesley Bishop, 59.

Goddard, 13, died on July 31 after an SUV rammed her against a wall — but she saved three friends by pushing them out of the way.

So many mourners packed the pews at St. Gabriel’s Church Friday night that they spilled out onto the street, including uniformed cops, crossing guards, neighbors and family. Many dressed in lilac, the teen’s favorite color.
