Alavian, who owns the Italian restaurant, told The US Sun, “As always she asked me how I was doing - she was always supporting us - and we just shared an extremely normal conversation, the kind I had almost every day I saw her.” He then continued, “Her health seemed normal, she looked maybe a little bit tired, but she otherwise seemed okay,” before mentioning that she had a “very, very small amount of food.”

Alavian also added, “I'm a little bit in shock right now. I have no idea what has happened. We saw a lot of activity going on [outside of her apartment]. She was just an excellent human; she was a really, really good person. It's all very emotional for me at the moment. She was a mother to everybody here.”

Following Ivana’s death, Donald also expressed his condolences and remembered her as a "wonderful" woman. The 76-year-old wrote, “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City. She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.”

“Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr, Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!” the former president added.

The late Czech American businesswoman was also a mother of three children — Eric, Don Jr, and Ivanka Trump —- whom she shared with Donald. They issued a statement for their mother that read, “Our mother was an incredible woman -- a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion, and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children, and ten grandchildren.”

Ivanka also took to Instagram to share throwback photos of herself with her mother as she wrote, “Heartbroken by the passing of my mother. Mom was brilliant, charming, passionate and wickedly funny. She modeled strength, tenacity and determination in her every action. She lived life to the fullest — never forgoing an opportunity to laugh and dance. I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always.❤️”
