The mother of one of the four children killed on April 5 in the attack on the CEI Cantinho Bom Pastor kindergarten in Blumenau, in the Itajaí Valley, died this Wednesday (20 years old) due to health reasons. Samira Barbosa was a 30-year-old nurse battling cancer.

Samira was born in Crisium and worked for about 10 years at Hemosc (Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of Santa Catarina). Colleagues also left farewell messages.

“You were an exemplary warrior. He had fought so many battles for his health, for losing his son in the kindergarten massacre, and he was still fighting. Today you went to live with him,” said a colleague, paying tribute on social networks.

Information about Samira’s death was shared on social networks by her partner Karina Marchesini. About two years ago they adopted a son.

He was a student at CEI Cantinho Bom Pastor’s kindergarten and was barely five years old when he was attacked eight months ago. On social networks, Karina Marchesini announced that her partner’s body will be cremated and there will be no farewell ceremonies.

“We spent the last few days saying goodbye. A few months ago I had an awakening and it was very painful,” Karina said.
