Bradley Mango Obituary
Bradley was a friend to everyone he ever met and when you met him, he always made you smile. There were no strangers to Bradley, just friends he hadn't met. His favorite people were firefighters and police officers and anytime he saw one, he always asked to give them a hug.
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and anyone he ever inspired. His light will continue to shine and his laugh and smile will never be forgotten.

So very sorry for your loss, there's no greater pain than the pain of losing your child, I would like to say time is a great healer but how can you heal from that? But it does get better, like most things you learn to adapt to life without them,
Bradley was not only couragiouse & brave but also an inspiration to others,
The way he dealt with things always with a smile on his face & what a beautiful smile it is,
The way he looked after & loved GG was so beautiful to see, they had a bond like no other even though GG was quite a bit younger than him that didn't stop him befriending her & starting a beautiful friendship & ever lasting bond,
Bradley & GG touched the lives of so many people from all around the world it's lovely to know they are together again pain free, playing there favourite games & Bradley looking after GG,
Two of the most beautiful angels there is,
Thinking of you all at this sad time, sending you all lots of love & best wishes. Xxxxxx

Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

May you find comfort in Isaiah 61:1,2
2 years ago at Stephen and our wedding. Bradley loved the DJ and wanted to look just like him. Can we say Blues Bros here? We love you Bradley!

I am so sorry for your loss. I first met Bradley and Kathleen when Bradley was just a baby. They quickly became part of the Bloomberg 10 South family. My favorite memory of Bradley was that no matter how sick he was, he was always cheering the other kids on to get better. He was an old soul and wiser beyond his years! We will all miss him. He was our shining light on busy and hectic days. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Joanne Vikell

I prayed and cried for him and cried harder when I heard the news. I will miss seeing his face and videos. Rest In Peace Bradley may the Lord be with you miss and love ya little warrior! You inspired me with the love that you have shown through all this.

I fell in love with Bradley when I saw the video of him pulling GG in the wagon up and down the halls of Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was so kind and so loving helping her with her mask, tucking her in, and just plain being a great friend. Whenever you looked at Bradley you couldn't help but smile, he was the most courageous little six-year-old on the planet Earth. His family will be in my prayers, asking God to somehow someway fill this huge void, and fill it with loving memories. We Know Bradley is in heaven free of all tubes all pain and all constraints but it must be horrible to know that he's just not right there next to you. I wish there was more I could do, but I will pray for that little boy, because when I'm a hundred years old and I close my eyes I know for a fact that I'll be able to see his face and hear his voice and remember little Bradley forever. He's in heaven now, perfectly healed, and we will all be together someday. Thank you for sharing Bradley with the world, I know for a fact I'm just one of many many many whose lives have changed because of Bradley.
