Recently, Saget’s daughter Larashared a note on Instagramabout grief.
“If people only knew how much words and actions matter, how much love and respect mean, how important it is to be kind, honest, and respectful, how poisonous gossip is, how important privacy is to grieve, how we are all responsible,” she wrote.
“Love will win regardless. I choose love, respect, compassion, and kindness. I choose to actually treat others as I would want to be treated. I choose love every time. It is the only way to take advantage of life,” she continued. “It is so sad to see where so many people place their focus, on pain, drama, gossip, negativity. That focus creates pain in this world and in everyone’s lives.”
Concluding her post, Lara added: “I pray people find clarity, learn to love themselves and to honor other human beings on this planet. We all affect each other.”
