Cancer takes Clarissa (26), Leaves Bradley & son

Clarissa Yamilete Garcia-Magdaleno took a visit, just a few short months ago with Bradley Serrano, to the doctor for minor symptoms. Bradley was her fiance, child's father, and high school sweethart of 10 years. After a few tests, and a couple visits later, they received the horrifying news that she was battling what had already advanced to stage 4 cancer. After months of Chemo, radiation, and other treatments, Clarissa lost her battle to cancer yesterday on 9/9/23. Bradley works for me full time as an assistant manager in my Parts department. He is 27 years old and is a supporting companion, a loving father, and a great friend. Bradley is a phenomenal member of my team, and throughout his fiance's illness showed remarkable strength balancing his responsibilities at work while providing the upmost support for his fiance. Bradley continued to show up to work every day to support his 3 year old son and soon to be wife. Nothing prepares anyone to lose a loved one at such a young age. The unexpected blindside of a cancer diagnosis, made it impossible for Bradley to get even a small life insurance policy to cover the funeral, and medical bills that have fallen upon this young man. On top of all of this tragedy, Bradley is now left without a partner to help care for his 3 year old son while he works to provide, which will now bring on more financial responsibilities with needing child care as well. I invite everyone to help me and others rally behind Bradley Serrano during this challenging time. Your support will make a huge difference as he navigates the financial obligations of his partner's passing. All Bradley wants to do is provide his fiance a funeral that is a fit for such a bright shining light that Clarissa was. Any support you might give will be provided to help him have a foundation as he embarks on the healing journey that lies ahead.
