Kabilang ang 47-year-old Filipina nurse na si Leilani Dayrit sa dalawampu't apat na healthcare workers sa United Kingdom na inalala at binigyang-pugay ng BBC News.
Sila ay ang mga nagbuwis ng buhay habang pinaglilingkuran ang mga maysakit ng COVID-19, sa ilalim ng National Health Service (NHS) ng UK.
Binawian ng buhay si Leilani noong April 7 at tinatayang ito ay dahil sa COVID-19.
Si Leilani ay nag-iisang babae sa walong magkakapatid.
Lumaki siya sa Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
Nagtapos siya ng elementary at secondary education sa St. Paul College Ilocos Sur, at kumuha ng kursong Nursing sa University of Northern Philippines.
Labing-anim na taon nang nurse si Leilani.
Ang Hospital of St. Cross sa Rugby, Warwickshire, ang huling ospital na pinaglingkuran niya bago siya binawian ng buhay.
Bumuhos ang mga tribute para kay Leilani, na pinupuri dahil sa kanyang dedikasyon sa trabaho at pagsasantabi ng sarili sa panahon ng coronavirus pandemic.
Ang anak niyang si Mary, na nagbukas ng GoFundMe account para sa kanyang pumanaw na ina, ang nanguna sa pagbibigay-pugay kay Leilani bilang isang unsung hero ng laban sa killer virus.
Ito ang madamdaming mensahe ni Mary para sa yumaong ina:
"My mother was a compassionate woman who always put other people’s happiness and well-being before her own.
"She was a very hardworking and dedicated nurse who loved to look after others and because of this she was known as the ‘mother figure’ to numerous family friends.
"She was a perfect example of an optimist who kept looking on the bright side of things and encouraged everyone to do the same.
"My mum was selfless until the very end and made sure to spread joy, happiness and love to anyone that ever needed it.
"A truly special and beautiful person inside and out, I am truly blessed to have called her my mother and words cannot express how glad I am to see and hear that she was loved by a lot of people.
"I am overwhelmed by the heartwarming responses and messages that have been sent and I am sure she would have equally been touched by all your kind words and support.
"Although I wish that she could have stayed with us for longer, I hope that her soul is at peace and will always watch and guide over me and family/friends in heaven.
"I miss you and I love you very much."
Para naman sa co-worker ni Leilani na si Damir Rasidovic, isang tunay na bayani ang pumanaw na nurse.
Pahayag ni Damir, "One of the hardest working and unbelievably dedicated nurse I've had the pleasure to have worked with.
"St. Cross and the NHS have lost a true hero.
"My deepest and sincerest condolences to her family and friends."
