The Olsen twins expressed their love and gratitude for the memories they shared with the cast, and they paid their respects to Saget, acknowledging his loving and generous nature.
Stamos shared that the Olsens visited his home and brought a pork chop and sage as a gesture of their fondness for their Full House family. In a statement to Us Weekly, the Olsens remembered Saget as a loving and compassionate man who will always be by their side to guide them. They expressed their deepest condolences to Saget’s daughters, wife, and family, showing their support and love during the difficult time of loss.
The Full House cast, including Stamos, Scott Weinger, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Coulier, and creator Jeff Franklin, gathered to remember Saget and honor his memory on his birthday. The supportive bond they shared as a cast was evident in the ways they comforted each other, reflecting on the impact Saget had on their lives. Stamos emphasized how Saget was the heart of their Full House family and how his legacy continues to live on through their shared memories and laughter.
Stamos concluded his tribute by expressing that Saget’s spirit lives on in the jokes they share and the hugs they give, acknowledging the profound impact Saget had on their lives. The cast continues to miss Saget deeply and remember him as a true gift to them all.
