It is with heavy hearts that we share that our beautiful niece, Klarissa Medina-De La Torre, passed away on Monday, September 7, 2026.  

Klarissa was a devoted wife to Sergio and a loving mother to her three boys, Mason (10), Julian (8), and Jayce (7). She fought an incredibly courageous battle with cancer for many years, always showing strength, love, and faith while fighting for her family.  

Although our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the love and memories Klarissa leaves behind. Her beautiful spirit and love will continue to live on through her husband, her boys, her family, and everyone who was blessed to know her. 

Your continued support will mean so much to Sergio and the boys as they navigate this heartbreaking loss and the difficult days ahead. Your support will help ease the financial burden associated with Klarissa’s passing, while also providing the family with some stability as they grieve and begin to navigate this new chapter in their lives. 

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared her story, prayed for her, and supported our family throughout her journey. We are forever grateful for your kindness and love. 

Rest peacefully, Klarissa. You will forever be loved, missed, and remembered.

November 2025 - Hi, our names are Lourdes Yep and Cathie Yep-Morales, and we are Klarissa’s aunts. Our family is heartbroken as we share the story of our beautiful niece, Klarissa (32) — a devoted wife to Sergio and loving mom to three amazing boys: Mason (9), Julian (8), and Jayce (6).

Klarissa Medina-De La Torre was first diagnosed in 2019 with Germ Cell Ovarian Cancer (Stage 2B). After years of treatments and a bone marrow transplant in 2023, she was blessed with time in remission. Sadly, her cancer has returned as a metastatic germ cell tumor.

Through it all, Klarissa’s strength and faith have never wavered. She continues to fight every day for her husband and boys. Mason has Autism and ADHD, and little Jayce is non-verbal Autistic — yet this family radiates love, faith, and resilience.

We’re raising funds to help ease the burden of medical costs, and daily expenses, so Klarissa and her family can focus on making the most of their time together. Her condition is serious, and the family is cherishing each moment with hope and faith.

If you’re able to donate, we are deeply grateful. If not, we simply ask for your prayers and for you to share Klarissa’s story. We believe in miracles and the power of faith, and we’re praying for one every day.

Thank you for surrounding Klarissa, Sergio, and their boys with love and support.
