She was Neris Rodríguez Menco, the nurse who died in a sicario attack in Magangué
"It was a normal Tuesday shift. The emergency room was receiving patients, but your arrival and the condition of your entry were different; the doors slammed, while deafening screams took over those corridors. It was you, in your human condition, vulnerable and fragile. I witnessed the pain in your husband, the crying, and his anguished cry of 'don't leave me alone' still echoes in my mind. Today we lost a great person, I thought this May would be different, but once again the nursing profession mourns your unfair and unexpected departure. Neris Rodríguez Menco, fly high."
