My mother, Bucca, was someone who made everyone feel welcome. She always cooked for everyone, and her pork chops and peanut butter fudge were legendary. She was known for giving out hugs and loving deeply, always making sure her four grandkids felt spoiled and cherished. Markus gave her the nickname Bucca, and it stuck with everyone who knew her. She had a way of turning strangers into friends and making every gathering feel like home.

Sadly, she passed away unexpectedly and had no life insurance. My brother and I are now facing the challenge of bringing her back to West Virginia so she can rest beside her parents and siblings. The costs for transportation and funeral arrangements have been much higher than we anticipated. Derek, my brother, cared for her in his home, and any additional support will help him as well.

If you met Bucca, you became her best friend. Any donation or share would mean the world to us. We want to give our mom the funeral she deserves for all she has done for so many others during her lifetime. Your support will help us honor her memory and bring her home to her family.
