Illes (Illy) Graham was born healthy at home on April 20th, 2025. She had big gorgeous blue eyes, a fuzzy little head, a very serious face, the most wrinkly hands and toes, and coos that brought pure joy. Born on Easter, our beautiful baby is a great reminder of Christ’s finished work defeating death. Although we would argue God took back what was His too soon, we know that this is not goodbye. We will see her at our heavenly home. We will hold our beautiful baby again. Though our time with her was short her impact has been immense on us and her impact on others may be greater than we will ever know. We must believe that God has a plan for her and her memory as it’s promised; He works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28)

Illes passed away on May 5th, 2025.
