Ahead of the funeral, Stamos, 58, reflected on the difficult day. Taking to Twitter, he wrote, "Today will be the hardest day of my life. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
Saget's widow, Kelly Rizzo, responded to Stamos, writing: "I love you, brother."
On the afternoon of Jan. 9, Saget was found dead in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. The night prior, he had an hours-long stand-up performance outside of Jacksonville.
