Bob Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, is still taking time to process her husband's sudden death.
The beloved actor and comedian unexpectedly passed after he was found in his hotel room in Florida over the weekend. The 65-year-old is survived by Rizzo, 42, along with his three daughters: Aubrey, 34, Lara, 32 and Jennifer, 29.
Rizzo — who wed the Full House alum in 2018 — is "still numb" over the shocking news, as a source spilled to The Sun: "She needs time to process this."
The insider also revealed the family is "arranging for a memorial service to take place in Los Angeles," although a date has not yet been set.
One day after the news broke of Saget's sudden death, Rizzo publicly addressed the situation with a touching tribute to her late husband.
"My whole heart. Bob was my absolute everything," she told Us Weekly in a statement 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."

She added she will share more about Saget, "when the time is right and when this news is not as raw," and that she looks, "forward to sharing more of Bob with the world."
Rizzo will be "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," she continued in her statement. "Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time."
As OK! previously reported, Saget was found dead in his room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Fl., on Sunday, January 9, after performing a stand-up show in Jacksonville the night before.
Employees at the hotel were the first to find the former America's Funniest Home Videos host after he missed his checkout time. Saget was reportedly discovered unresponsive in his hotel bed with his bags placed by the door. The housekeeping manager tried giving him CPR, but Saget was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy was later performed on the comedian, which was announced by chief medical examiner of Orange and Osceola Counties Joshua Stephany on Monday. Stephany explained in a statement that Saget's cause and manner of death are still pending further investigation, but there were no signs of drug use or foul play.
"Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget's loved ones during this difficult time," the statement concluded.
