At the time of his passing, Garver wrote a tribute to him on her website<\/a>, where she described her husband as \u201cthe real celebrity in our family\u201d and \u201cmy best friend<\/a> and the love of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n The book was officially unveiled on Valentine<\/a>\u2019s Day during an intimate signing and reading event at Garver\u2019s home.

In recent years, she has expanded her work in narration and voiceover, earning a Grammy nomination for her audiobook performance<\/a> of “Elvis, Rocky and Me: The Carol Connors Story.”<\/p>\n The 60th anniversary of Family Affair<\/em> adds another milestone to an already remarkable career.
