Kelly Rizzo, the widow of Bob Saget, is paying tribute to the comic and Full House star a day after he was laid to rest in a private funeral. The 65-year-old’s death was announced Sunday after he was found in an Orlando, Fla. hotel room, having apparently died in his sleep.
Though Rizzo, who wed Saget in 2018, has shared messages on her Instagram Stories over the past week — including thanking friends John Mayer and Jeff Ross for retrieving her husband’s car from the LAX airport parking lot — her Instagram post on Saturday marked her first since his death.
“My sweet husband,” the Eat Travel Rock host wrote alongside a selfie of herself and Saget. “After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH. I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last six years.
We had that time to make each other the happiest we’d ever been and change each other’s lives forever. I got to be the one to love him and cherish him. He deserves all the love. Every ounce of it. Because that’s how amazing Bob was. He was love. If you were in his life you KNEW he loved you. He never missed an opportunity to tell you.”
