‘What A Blessing’: Friends, Family Remember Bob Saget Two Years After His Death
By Movieguide® Contributor
Bob Saget’s friends and family are remembering the comedian two years after his tragic death.
“2 years. Wow. Simultaneously feels like a week and an eternity,” his widow, Kelly Rizzo, wrote in an Instagram post. “I chose this photo of Bob as not only was it the last photo he shared and one of the last texts he sent me, but it perfectly encapsulates how he would want all of us to remember him. With his guitar, on a stage, doing what he loved to do…making people laugh…making people happy.”
She continued, “I will forever be grateful that I got to share life with this extraordinary person for 6 years. What a blessing. And grateful I can look back on endless memories and photos and videos with smiles, laughter, and yes…still tears. It is such a gift I was able to know his complete and all encompassing love and heart.”
“It was just all love,” Rizzo said of their marriage during a 2022 appearance on the TODAY show.
FULL HOUSE co-star and friend Dave Coulier also shared a photo in honor of Saget’s passing, a shot of the pair arm-in-arm.
“Bob was always hugging me,” the actor wrote. “I sure miss those hugs. I sure miss Bob. I loved him so much.”
Candace Cameron Bure posted a picture of herself and Saget on a red carpet, writing, “I miss you always ❤️ I could use one of your hugs right now.”
Movieguide® previously reported on how Rizzo has been handling the loss of her husband:
Two years after losing her husband, comedian Bob Saget, Kelly Rizzo says gratitude “helped me get through everything.”
“I am in a much better place now than I was in the very beginning,” she told PEOPLE. “Every day, every month, everything just continues to progress and evolve and get better. The second year has definitely given me the ability to look at videos, look at photos and have memories of Bob where I can actually laugh and appreciate them and smile. Versus, just feeling like it’s a gut punch every time I look at a video or see a photo. I’m actually able to appreciate those memories more.”
Rizzo said that now, her focus is on being “grateful for the time I did have with him, versus feeling robbed of the time we didn’t have together.”
