Ivanka stood strong alongside her brothers Don Jr., 44, and Eric, 38, as well as her father, Donald, his wife, Melania, and their child, Barron, 16. Holding her 6-year-old son Theodore's hand, Ivana's daughter kept her emotions in check — even when speaking at the funeral.

"Growing up, my mother didn’t tell me a woman could do anything she wanted to — she showed me," Ivanka said during her eulogy. "She was a trailblazer to men and women alike. My mother once told me there was nothing she couldn’t do in heels. She taught us how to spear fish and then cook what we caught. My mom expanded our minds."

Don Jr. and Eric spoke too.

"She had brains; she had beauty. She was the embodiment of the American dream … She was a force of nature, could beat any man down the slopes, any woman on the runway," Eric stated. "She ruled the three of us [kids] with an iron fist but also a heart of gold."

Don Jr. told jokes and stories of his childhood while concluding by saying, "I love you, mom."
