Anthony Bruno Funeral Expenses
Donation protected
We are sad to announce the passing of my sister Lynne's husband, Anthony Bruno. Anthony died on the rural roads of his hometown in Pennsylvania doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle. The accident took place early on the morning of Friday, July 17th. There were no witnesses so we do not know what caused the accident. An autopsy is being conducted to rule out a medical cause (stroke, heart attack).
Lynne and Anthony have been together since they were 13 years old. Neither really knew life without the other. Their three beautiful children, twins Guy and Frank, and their youngest daughter, Samantha, have lost a father who loved them deeply.
Anthony and Lynne were not well off financially with Lynne working two jobs to make ends meet, but they shared a love that was strong and lasting. Anthony suffered from certain medical conditions that life insurance companies used to deny him coverage. Because of this, all funeral expenses must be covered by Lynne now personally. Lynne wanted to have Anthony's funeral on Long Island where they both grew up but the cost, estimated to be around $20k, made that prohibitive. So instead, Lynne is making the funeral arrangements locally, in Pennsylvania, to keep the cost under $5,000.
It is our hope that we can raise this $5,000 for her through this GoFundMe intiative so she doesn't have to go into debt to pay for this funeral. The $5,000 would cover the cost of the funeral with a little left over for a wake, where food and soft drinks may be served while the Brunos are comforted by friends and family.
We ask that you would please consider a small donation to help my sister offset the cost of the funeral as we mourn the loss of my brother in law and friend, Anthony. Any additional monies over the set goal will go right to Lynne to relieve any family debts. Thank you.
