I don’t believe I have ever met another women as strong, will-powered, and loving as my grandmother. She was our rock, everyone’s rock. She had such a big heart, she loved all of her family and would do anything for us. She was invincible to me, she could do anything, it seemed. I will never forget her. She has instilled so much love and so much strength in her family and loved ones. Forever we will carry grandma in our hearts and memories. I love y

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mrs. Ivkovich (Irene)(Mom). I had the pleasure of spending most of my memorable youth at the Ivkovich house. I always felt welcome, I always felt loved and cared for. It was truly a second home for me growing up and Irene a second Mom. Some of the best memories I have from my youth are when she would invite me to Bolingbrook High School Basketball games to watch all the “Ikes” play, sometime even bring me on the bus…Inviting me to swim; in to drink McDonald’s Orange Juice, too many memories to share…But I will never forget hearing her voice call me “Johnny” as all my family did/does. She had a laugh that was contagious. And I can honestly say I do not have a memory that was not happy or positive. As you get older and have families of your own and you start to reflect back on who, what, where, when and how you became who you are today, its the love that surround’s you that shapes you. Though I regret not telling her how much I appreciated and loved all she did for me growing up, I hope she knew how much she helped me become the Man, Husband and Father I am today. I hope that one day I can have such a positive effect on someones life as much as she did on mine!
Ike and Family,
I am sorry for your loss. The void can never be filled, but you can rely upon the memories, and your family, to ease the hurt. Lean on each other.
Dear Family,
I would like to send my condolences. It can be extremely difficult to lose a loved one. That is why I wanted to share the hope found in the bible, the hope of the resurrection. Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will come out.” And at Revelation 21:3,4 it states that there will be a time when “…death will be no more.”
These scriptures give us hope for the future as respects to our dead loved ones. Those scriptures have brought comfort to me and I hope it does the same for your family.
With Love,
Loren
With a heavy heart and deep sadness, I’m sending my condolences. These past few days have been like a bad dream we can not awake from. The hole that has been left in our hearts at times feel like to much to comprehend. Then I have to think, what would Mom do? She would pick up the pieces!!! That is who she was for this family. The center piece .. She has taught her family to fight hard and to love hard. That’s what we do… Well Mom, that’s what we’re gonna do!!! I know your looking down at us right now and are proud. Proud of the way we have pulled together for each other and for Dad… We are strong Mom, and we will make it because of you.. You have impacted all our of lives one way or another.. What people remember the most is how much you loved your family and who we brought into each other lives. I have been blessed to be In this family for over 20 years. I still shake my head at it. The road hasn’t always been easy, life has thrown us a few curve balls, but we get back on our feet and we fight to stay there!! Just like you taught us…!! I thank you for that Mom. Mom, you have giving me more than any woman could.. Because of you, I have a wonderful husband who is the love of my life, I have sisters and brothers, neices and nephews and a Dad I adore. Because of you, my life is complete. I have 20 years of memories to fill the hole in my heart, you will always be with me there, safe, loved, and never forgotten . To me you never be gone. A piece of you lives in all of us. You are everywhere . Rest now our Angel, we will take care of Dad and each other, I promise.
I love you so much Mom….Forever… Vickie

I will truly miss mrs. Ike,she was big part of my life growing up with Matt and the Ivkovich family. My memories include many wonderful times with her, whether it was her famous BBQ ribs and potatoes or just hanging out,she always made me feel like I was one of her own sons.
She will be in my heart forever.
May God hold your hand through the heavens.

aclearcutsign on August 30, 2011 I like that I can bounce back (maybe not quklicy, but definitely in a short time) from bad situations. My bf and I broke up after 7.5 years, and while i was so devastated, my mindset now has been more about taking this opportunity for new beginnings and that excites me and usually gets me out of my funk.
Dear Ivkovich family,
We are truly sorry to hear of your loss, are prayers & thoughts are with you.
Our sincere condolences.

MyFreeProductSamples on September 25, 2011 @myabigail100 Hey, I got a dry shmpaoo, a shmpaoo, and a conditioner. I did get them all at Target but in two shopping trips. Yes, I had to pay tax on them. Do you mean Target has a policy on only 2 free products/person or the Suave coupon does? I did the Suave video twice. Once at my home computer and once on my laptop. So the first time, I got a coupon for 1 free product and the second time I got a coupon for 2 free products. I hope I answered your questions
Wish you and all your family the best at this very hard time.
We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Ivkovich Family,
With deepest sympathy, we send our condolences. Your entire family remains in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Love,
Nick Dubak & Family
John ,Mary Lynn,Ian and Emma
