The Cosby Show star's widow Tenisha Warner shared an emotional Instagram post on their wedding anniversary after Warner's accidental drowning in Costa Rica in July.

It was just a couple months ago that many mourned the sudden death of Malcom-Jamal Warner after his accidental drowning on a beach in Costa Rica.

Warner rose to fame in The Cosby Show, entering the hearts of millions. Recently his widow, Tenisha Warner, revealed the tribute his family will be making to honor his legacy.


Turner shared a wedding photo of her and Malcom-Jamal on their wedding day, as it was their anniversary a few days ago.

In a heartfelt message, she used the picture to announce how she and her daughter would be honoring his memory.

“I can still hear my husband’s laugh, still feel the way he made room for every part of me — every tear, every dream. Today, in his honor, my daughter and I are launching River & Ember and officially opening The Warner Family Foundation."


The foundation will aim, through a "Creative Legacy Fund," to provide scholarships to younger folks ages 14-22 to nurture a new generation of artists. This legacy fund is particularly meaningful in the context of Warner's musical and poetic talents, in addition to the acting for which he was more widely known.

People really appreciated the wedding picture and the love and joy in the announcement of the foundation's fund.
