Just over a week after the death of her husband, actor Bob Saget, Kelly Rizzo has spoken out herself. She shares touching memories.
The circumstances of his death have not yet been finally clarified, but one thing is already clear: Bob Saget was admired and loved. Stars and Hollywood friends have been expressing their grief for days, including Saget’s “Full House” team and singer John Mayer. Now wife Kelly Rizzo has spoken with a long statement.
Bob Saget: Wife Kelly Rizzo speaks up
“After a lot of thinking this week, I’m really trying not to think that my time has been stolen,” she wrote on Instagram. “But instead to think: how lucky I was to be the one who was married to the most incredible man in the world,” explained the journalist. They were there for each other for six years.
And Rizzo confirmed what Saget’s friends themselves emphasized last week: “He was love. When you were in his life you knew that he loved you. He never missed an opportunity to tell you,” wrote the wife of the late “Full House” star.
Funeral in Los Angeles
It is important for her that she has no regrets. Because she and Saget told each other multiple times a day how much they loved each other. Your duty now is to complete his work.
“It will be my job, as best I can, to let the world know how amazing he was and to try and spread his message of love and laughter in some way. (No, you’ll never see me as a stand-up -see artist)” Rizzo explained. “I just want to make him proud,” she said.
Saget was buried in his adopted home of Los Angeles over the weekend. Along with wife Kelly Rizzo and his daughters, his “Full House” co-stars and other celebrity friends were also there. Actors John Stamos and Dave Coulier and singer John Mayer carried the coffin.
