Dear friends, family, and community,

On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the world lost a truly beautiful soul. Our special little friend, Neheverlynin Buckley—affectionately known to us all as "Tootie"—has put on her wings and is now resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus.

Tootie was a shining light in every room she entered. She was best known for her "big," infectious smile and a laugh that could brighten even the darkest days. Beyond her joy, she was a model of politeness, kindness, and a truly caring heart. Whether it was a small gesture or a big task, she was always the first to ask how she could help others.

In her short time with us, Tootie brought more love into this world than most do in a lifetime. Even throughout her brave battle with childhood cancer, she never lost that spirit of helpfulness or her signature grin.

Her family is currently navigating the deepest pain imaginable. We want to give Tootie the beautiful memorial and final farewell she deserves, but we are facing significant, unexpected funeral costs.

We are reaching out to ask for your help in easing this financial burden. Our goal is to allow Tootie's mom and siblings to focus on grieving and remembering their sweet girl without the weight of these expenses.

Thank you to Brown Funeral Services
