My loving mother and grandmother Irene Graham

My beautiful mother Irene Graham left us Friday morning 10/6/2023. She leaves behind her grandson William Rivera-Klein and her granddaughter Delilah Rivera-Klein. She also leaves behind her significant other John Marshall. My mother was the youngest of 8 children, she left behind two sisters Barbara Russell in Massachusetts, and Sandy Webb in Fort Myers Florida. Her 5 Brothers Walter, Dennis, Tommy, Billy, and John Graham are deceased. I hope they are waiting for her at heavens gate. Along side with her parents Walter and Mother Cecelia who she lost at a young age of 8 and her father in her early twenties. She also had leaves behind many nieces and nephews who she loved dearly. And so many loving friends she made throughout her lifetime.

My mother was raised in Union City, NJ. She graduated from Emerson HS in 1979. During her high school years my mother loved supporting her football and track star brother at his games. She met my father and got married I believe 1981. I was born a year later in 1982.

Being a mom was my moms greatest pride. I can't express how much of a great mother she has been throughout my life. My father passed away when I was 5 and my mom became a single parent. Its through her I have gotten my strength as a single parent. My mother loved her grandchildren so much she helped me raise them. Not having her in our lives is going to be the hardest step.

My mother has suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes in her lifetime. But life got hard and our worlds changed with her having Alzheimer's Disease. I can't begin to tell you how this truly takes the life out of your loved in pieces. As the days go I plan on always being an advocate for this horrible Disease. It made my last years very hard.

But throughout life my mother was such a kind soul to everyone she met. Honestly she wanted to make all her loved ones feel loved. She deserved so much more and I really hope she is at peace now. She was such a woman of God. Her faith and her prayers are still in me now. My mother was truly taken from us to soon. She wanted to live for her Grandchildren so badly. But now they have a beautiful Angel. She truly loved Angles throughout life. And now I know I have the best angel guiding us now.

I'm looking to give my mom the send off she deserves. We don't have any life insurance and no savings and this is why I'm setting up this go fund me. I am asking for any help you can provide for my mom's funeral cost.

My mother Irene Graham I love you so much. I can't believe your gone. But as she use to tell me when someone passed she would say they are with God Now. I will miss more than anything. You were so funny, I will miss your humor. Your love for Movies and Music. Your love for Holidays was amazing something I must carry on. I will miss having my mother my kids and having their grandmother. But my mom is no longer suffering and is at peace.

I am truly grateful for all the love I've received. Please help with my mom' s funeral, it means everything to me. I am forever grateful for all the love and help that is received during the most difficult time of my life. Thank you for all the support.
