“I got the chance to tell him how awesome it was to watch him finally getting to reap the rewards of decades of hard work,” she said. “I was just super proud to watch a friends rising career and we talked about how much it means to support your friends in this business.

Bure Shared Andrea Barber’s Touching Post about Arnold
Bure also shared a touching post about Arnold that fellow co-star Andrea Barber wrote.
Barber said, in part, “The last time I spoke with David was a week ago on the set of That Girl Lay Lay. We talked about his daughter, Anna Grace, who was absolutely rocking her first prominent storyline as her character, Gigi. I told David how impressed I was with her comedic timing, her unwavering confidence, and her uncanny ability to imitate his way of speaking. His face immediately softened, a slow smile spreading across his face, the absolute pride glistening in his eyes. I’ll never forget that look. If you know David, you know that he loved his beautiful wife Julie and his sweet daughters Anna Grace and Ashlyn more than anything else on earth.”
Jodie Sweetin replied, “I’m just so sad… it was such a shock…”
