After Bobby Zarin passed away at the age of 71 from a long battle with cancer, Real Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin is opening up about the Real Housewives stars who have supported her during this difficult time in her life.
"Overwhelming love," Jill shared with E! News when describing the outreach from her fellow Housewives. "Ramona Singer has been incredible. She texts me, she e-mails me, she showed up at the hospital early on. All the Housewives."
"I've gotten flowers from Vicki Gunvalson. I got an e-mail today from Melissa Gorga. Cynthia Bailey wanted to come [to the funeral]. Andy Cohen gave a shout out to Bobby [by] giving him the Mazel of the Week."
Jill also expressed gratitude to many other friends including talk show diva Wendy Williams for her "beautiful tribute" during "Hot Topics" earlier this week.
Another thing that left the Zarin family feeling grateful was the amount of people who showed up to remember Bobby at his funeral service Monday morning in New York. Patti Stanger, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Danielle Staub, Bethenny Frankel, Marysol Patton and Kelly Bensimon were just some of the familiar faces who paid their respects.
"It was very surreal to walk in and have all these people around me," Jill told E! News. "People who I haven't seen in 20 years showed up. People flew in from as far as Ghana, Florida, California, Chicago, all over the place. They all dropped what they were doing and they came."
It was also revealed that Kris Jenner and her Kardashian/Jenner family sent an arrangement of flowers to the Zarins. Meanwhile, Bethenny sent over Skinnygirl wine that was served at the shiva. Andy also sent a huge platter from New York City's Barney Greengrass.
