The veteran actress, who keeps the actor's memories alive by sharing priceless moments on her social media profile, wrote in her note: "All of last year has been of grief and sadness around the world for us maybe more as we lost him...Not a day has gone by when we have not discussed or reminisced him as he was an extension of our existence .. Sometimes his wise advice: his wise cracks: his anecdotes."
