Irene Jeanette Maiorana was born Irene J. Alfi from Vincent and Angelina Alfi in Brooklyn, NY. She was one of five children, Sadie, Salvatore, Josephine, and Vincent were her cherished brothers and sisters. Irene married on October 11, 1958 to James Maiorana and they had two children Amelia and Anthony. 

Irene was an extraordinary person that was loved by those who had the good fortune to know her, but it was her kind heart, patience, sincerity, compassion, and her smart and sarcastic sense of humor that will be missed, but remembered by all of us.

Mom, I don't have the words to tell you how much I love and miss you. We all love and miss you so much. You're always in my heart. ❤️

I love talking about you even though it hurts so much that you're not here. I love you Mom. On this Mother's Day, we honor You, Grandma, Aunt Diana, Aunt Mary, Aunt Marie, Aunt Grace, Aunt Nina and many more. Mom,

My beautiful Mom, it's hard to believe it's been 7 years. We got you pretty red roses Dad says you love. These years have been very hard, very empty without your humor, sarcasm and great conversations. I think of you all the time. I'm so grateful I had you for a Mom, and my best friend. I miss your smile, your laugh. I love you and I miss YOU!

My wonderful and beautiful Mom, I've been thinking a lot about the many times from when me and Anthony were little and through the years how much you loved to put up a tree, decorate while listening to your Christmas albums, cook an incredible meal and enjoy being with family. You always put your all into everything you did. You were so amazing. I miss the times we had. The times with you were the best times of my life, and I can't put into words how much I miss you. I love you so much, my sweet Mom.

My precious Mom, it's been 6 years, in some ways it seems like we were together yesterday, and other times it seems like forever. Either way, I miss you so much. It's been a sad day. Uncle Sal, your brother that you always worried about, is not doing well. I feel so bad for him and I can't help thinking about you and how upset and heartbroken you'd be. Covid is devastating. I hope he recovers. I feel for Melissa. I feel fortunate to have been by your side, hug you, hold your hand, kiss you and tell you over and over again, how much I love you, PRICELESS. Tony got you such beautiful red roses. Dad says they're your favorite. We miss you, we love you. You are always in our hearts.

To our beautiful Mother, it's been four years ago today since we got to be with you, hold your hand and tell you how much we love you. You are so missed and thought about a lot each day. We went to Uncle Sal and Aunt Abby's today and shared a few memories of me and you, many years ago and just a few years ago. Every day I wish you were here with us, it's painful that you're not. Tony and I are so fortunate and grateful to have you as our mother. We all love you and miss you so much. Mom, you will always be in our hearts.

My beautiful Mother, it's been three rough years being without you. You are in my thoughts daily. It's truly all the distractions is how I get by day after day. When alone, especially during the long drive to work is when I'm in that special place thinking about you and so many memories of all of us together. Yes, it hurts but that's ok, as long as you're with me in my mind and in my heart. Traci wanted you to know she's thinking about you. I saw her today and so glad I did. Tony cooked a nice meal for us. We got you flowers, Dad and Tony got you beautiful red and white roses with some other pretty flowers for you, our beautiful mother. Mom, we can't say in words how much we love you and how much you're missed. You are ALWAYS in our ❤. Love, Amy, Tony and Dad

Mom, another year has gone by without you. People say it will get easier over time, that's not true. I miss you more than ever and really can use your love, affection, and humor these days. There is no one that can replace the special and beautiful person you were to me and so many others.

I love you Mom,

To my beautiful Mother, I miss you so much. I think of you all the time, wishing you were here with us. I remember how much you loved to decorate for Christmas while listening to your Christmas albums like Johnny Mathis and me and Tony would help you decorate. We always had a lot of family come over and you would cook incredible dinners. All I have left are memories of you, so many wonderful memories but it's painful because I want you with us so bad. I can never tell you enough how much I love you. Dad, Tony and I love and miss you very much. Our beautiful Mom.

Mom, I miss you so much, it's hard to take. The other day at work I was thinking to myself, I want to call my Mom, and then I realized that I can't. I want and need you here with us. Life is so empty without you. Dad and I went to Aunt Jo's and Joann mentioned you in remembrance. On the way home me and Dad were remembering how you would decorate the house at Christmas while listening to your Christmas music, including Johnny Mathis. I remember when we lived on Harold Street your silver Christmas tree with the red, green and yellow light that rotated to make the tree different colors and the excellent meals you cooked for many for so many years. The last Christmas with you and Bianca was our last Christmas cause there is nothing more to celebrate if your not here. Every day I wish you were here. I can never even begin to tell you how much I love you and miss you. You are ALWAYS in my heart. I LOVE YOU.

Mom, it's been a year now. Sometimes it doesn't seem so long and then other times it feels like it's been forever. Either way, it is so hard to be without you here with us. I miss you every single day and every single day I wish you were here. Oh Mom, I love you and miss you so, so much. I talked to Tracy tonight and she said Hi and she gives you a hug. Dad, Tony and I love you and miss you, you are forever in our hearts.
