Famous comedian Bob Saget was recently laid to rest in Los Angeles in the presence of close friends and family members. The funeral service held last week witnessed an emotional speech from his former Full House co-star John Stamos, who spoke about how 'alive' Bob looked in his last Instagram post. In the speech published in Los Angeles Times newspaper, Stamos heaped praises on the late actor, noting that the 'worldwide ocean of love' for him has been unbelievable. 

He added it has been hard for him to look at attributes, stories, magazine covers and the gazillion social media posts for Bob, as people remember him in various remarkable ways. He quipped how he wished Bob knew people relentlessly loved him when he was here, and that Saget couldn't have imagined the kind of impact his death would leave globally.

He confessed to being 'shattered' by his sudden demise, however, he is now coming to terms with it.

"He's never leaving my heart," Stamos stated and added that he will continue to talk to him every day and let him know 'what he means to me.' He then called Saget his "new guardian angel"- one with the 'dirtiest mouth' and a heart as 'big and benevolent as forever'. He also mentioned that Saget died 'bright and fierce'.
