Kathie Lee Gifford is planning to sell their family home in Greenwich, Connecticut following the death of her husband, Frank Gifford on Aug. 9.
“Kathie Lee wants to sell the home because it is just too hard for her to be there without Frank. That house really holds too many memories for her and, now that the kids are all grown up, Kathie Lee says that she does not need that much space on her own anymore,” a source told Radar Online exclusively.
The legendary sports icon was found dead in their family home due to natural causes, which caused grief to the entire family as well as the fans of the former New York Giants star who successfully transitioned to a long career as a sportscaster on TV and radio, Variety reported.
The source also added, “The home is immaculate and Kathie Lee knows that she will get a lot of money for it, but she wants the house to be sold to someone that she knows rather than just to anyone."
“She needs to know that whoever is going to move into her home will cherish it in the same way that her and Frank did.”
Kathie Lee is still grieving after the death of her 84-year-old husband. To recall, she gave an emotional and tearful tribute to him on the Today Show on Aug. 23, saying, “I want to thank everybody for your love and your texts and your tweets and just the outpouring has been extraordinary.”
“It’s a heck of a way to find out how loved you are. Believe me, my family and I got strength and comfort for it.”
The football legend left behind five children – Cassidy, Victoria, Cody, Jeff and Kyle – as well as five grandchildren from his first marriage, and wife Kathie Lee.
