A day after the death of the Aladdin star, Gilbert Gottfried, Kelly Rizzo posted a tribute to her late husband’s special friend on her page. She described the extraordinary friendship both comedians had when they were alive, how they loved each other dearly. Also, she says she sympathizes with Gilbert’s wife, Dara, and loves and supports the family. A recent widow herself, Kelly’s condolence message is an appreciable effort; how she manages to show love and support to Gilbert’s family and her friend, Jeff, who was deeply affected by the comedian’s death, is commendable. To show how deeply Gilbert’s friendship meant to her and Bob Saget, she went back the memory lane to share a screenshot of the duo with Jeff Ross and the late Norm Macdonald, which Gilbert shared on his page in 2020.
