Bob Saget's widow, Kelly Rizzo, reflected on their relationship and revealed the final conversation she had with the late comic in a conversation on "Today" Thursday.

"I think I said, 'I love you dearly,' and he said, 'I love you endlessly,'" she recalled of their last moment. "I said, 'I can't wait to see you tomorrow.' And then, you know, it was just all very — it was just all love."

Saget and Rizzo, a food and travel blogger known best as the host of "Eat Travel Rock," married in 2018. The two met through a mutual friend in 2015.

The beloved comic, known best for playing Danny Tanner on the sitcom "Full House," was found dead in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida, on January 9 following a stand-up performance.

"I was just telling some of my family that today's a little bit — there's a little bit more of a sense of calm," she told "Today" host Hoda Kotb. "I think you get to a point where your body will just physically not let you cry anymore, or at least all day."

On Saturday, a private funeral service for Saget was held in Los Angeles where the late actor's "Full House" costars, John Stamos and Dave Coulier, served as pallbearers at the ceremony.

In the wake of that, Rizzo told "Today" that she's beginning to come to terms with Saget's death.

"I think I'm possibly getting there or I'm just numb," she told Kotb remotely from the home she shared with Saget. "I can't tell what it is right now."

"Everything is a memory, everything reminds me of him," Rizzo continued. "So, that's been difficult but also wonderful at the same time."
