Monica Chiaradia-Fish and son
Local swine flu victim identified as Monica Chiaradia-Fish of Antioch
As family and friends come to terms with the death of Monica Chiaradia-Fish to swine flu and leukemia, her 7-year-old son has it the hardest. After a day of playing with the children of close friends, once they left, his thoughts and feelings were no longer distracted.
The words he spoke, "I don't want my mommy to go to Heaven, Uncle Chris," cut through everyone within earshot, as well as all those who have heard them repeated. Grief counseling is being arranged for the boy.
Monica's boyfriend Derek Muir, also known as Big-D, is the father of Derek Lawrence Muir, known as Little-d. He and close friends had tattoos done in honor of Monica today.
Monica worked at Antioch's Little Manuel restaurant as a bartender and was a faithful Raiders fan.
Memorial bank account opened for Monica's family
Monica's parents have opened a memorial account at Plumas Bank to help with funeral expenses. Donations can be sent to:
- Scott or Alice Fish
- c/o Monica Chiaradia-Fish Memorial Fund
- Plumas Bank
- P.O. Box 1117
- Westwood, CA 96137
