The Fuller House star took to Instagram to share a few kind words about Vladimir.
“Our hearts are broken as we grieve the loss of Val’s dad Vladimir Bure. I loved this man so very much. To me, he represented not only the gift of life (my husband) that I am forever grateful for but one of strength, dedication, motivation, resilience, willpower, and love.

But also giving thanks for the joy that comes in sharing fond and wonderful memories together that brings healing. Sending lots of love sweet friend,” a fan prayed.
“Sending so much love, what a legacy, what a beautiful family he created.”
