In Loving Memory of Rizalina “Sally” Alcantara Buenacosa–
Beloved Daughter, Wife, Mother, Aunt, Cousin, Friend & Grandmother
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our dearest Rizalina “Sally” Alcantara Buenacosa, Kristel Mae “K-Mae” Buenacosa’s Mama.
Sally was a kind and lighthearted soul, always quick to throw in jokes to evoke laughter while at the same time being so genuinely caring and loving to all those around her, especially toward her daughter K-Mae and her only granddaughter Skye. Sally was also resilient and hardworking, working Mondays through Saturdays to set aside for Skye’s future and support her 85-year old mother back home in Cebu, Philippines.
On Thursday evening, June 5th, Sally came home to rest from her stay-in job as she was unexpectedly feeling unwell. In the morning of Friday, June 6th, she was rushed to the hospital for having difficulty breathing and was later on intubated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) that same day.
Sally passed away from pneumonia and complications brought about by her underlying leukemia in the morning of Saturday, June 7th.
We are raising funds for:
- Funeral and memorial expenses
- Support for her grieving family, who are now not only carrying such an emotional burden, but are potentially facing financial hardship
Thank you for your compassion and support.
And please keep Sally and her family in your thoughts and prayers!
