Conservative talk icon Rush Limbaugh was laid to rest during a small, intimate ceremony last month. His widow Kathryn Limbaugh shared some of the details with his listening audience during a brief appearance on the radio this week.
The ceremony took place at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis on Feb 24.
Mrs. Limbaugh told guest host Todd Herman that her recovery from the loss of her husband has come with tremendous challenges. She credited the thousands of people that have reached out to her following Rush’s death.
“I really, truly feel we are all going through this process together, and it’s very much a process,” said Limbaugh. “I think it helps us to all be together and grieve in a sense and keep our Rush with us in that way.”
Limbaugh died on Feb. 17 after a year-long battle with lung cancer. He learned he had stage 4 lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-President Trump at the State of the Union address.
“Obviously, it came a lot sooner than we would have hoped and liked, but we did have a plan in place. “The only problem was we had hoped to invite a lot of Rush’s friends, a lot of colleagues, and a lot of the listening audience. But due to COVID, we could not do that,” she said.
