“I played golf. It was a Sunday and I was there [husband Mossimo Giannulli] and we were coming from the golf course and I had my phone in my bag,” Loughlin recalls. “I took my phone out of my bag and I probably had 25 missed calls.” As I look at my phone, I have 25 missed calls from John [Stamos]. I have 15 missed calls from Dave [Coulier]. I think I had a few missed calls from Candace [Cameron-Bure]. And as I look at my phone and think, ‘Oh, that’s not good,’ my phone rang in my hand and it was Jodie.”

“I just fell to my knees. And I just remember [Mossimo] “I tried to pick me up and take me to the car in the parking lot,” Loughlin said. “I still can not believe it. I still can not believe it. It’s still hard to believe…it’s such a loss. Somehow you still think, “Oh, maybe he’ll come back.” It’s just hard to believe.
