Late Fuller House actor Bob Saget’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, continues to mourn the loss of her late husband. She took to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute to him after his funeral.

“My sweet husband. 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,” Rizzo wrote in her caption on Saturday, January 15. “I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last 6 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.”

She added, “Most importantly. I have no regrets. We loved each other so damn much and told each other 500 times every day. Constantly. I know how much he loved me until the very last moment and he knew the same. I’m so grateful for that. Not everyone gets that.”

Rizzo went on to gush over Saget, calling him a “force” and said she is “eternally grateful” for those who loved Saget and who checked in on her following his death. She also vowed to continue his work for the Scleroderma Research Foundation and to “to keep spreading his message of love and laughter.”

“I just want to make him proud. And to his girls, I will love you all with all my heart, always,” Rizzo concluded. “Honey, I love you more than anything, forever.”

Saget was laid to rest during a funeral ceremony on Friday, January 14. Rizzo attended the funeral and paid tribute to their marriage by wearing her late husband’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck. She was surrounded by Saget’s closest friends and loved ones, including John Stamos, John Mayer, Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and fellow comedian Jimmy Kimmel.

Rizzo previously reacted to the death of her husband in a statement obtained by In Touch. “My whole heart. Bob was my absolute everything,” she wrote on Monday, January 10. “I am so completely shattered and in disbelief. I am so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and tribute from our friends, family, his fans and his peers.”

“When the time is right and when this news is not as raw, I look forward to sharing more of Bob with the world,” she added. “Sharing how much he meant to me, all of those around him, and how much all of his fans and friends meant to him as well. Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time.”

Rizzo and Saget’s adult daughters, Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer, previously revealed they were “devastated” after his sudden death at age 65 in a joint statement on Monday.

“We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today. He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter,” the Saget family told Page Six. “Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world.”
